It is the image of the Trinity explosion, the first nuclear bomb test in New Mexico on July 16, 1945, taken 0.016 seconds after the explosion. The highest point of the displayed hemisphere is approximately 200 meters high.

I’m saying exactly what I said. That video is not of the Tsar Bomba. The link I provided is though.

To make that a little more referenceable, that's roughly twice the height of the Statue of Liberty or Big Ben.

I have no idea how high that is. Thought the statue was much higher than the tower. How about using a *system* of measurement?

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

sure.. 200 meters as OP says. But not everyone can visualize that in their head, so I tried to help for those who can't

Anything is a system of measurement if you're creative enough!

It appears the statue (even including it's huge base) is actually lower than the tower.

How many giraffes tall is that?

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

More than three!

Neither of those things are particularly tall though.

650 feet total (they are around 315 each so its a hair more than either doubled) is impressively high for 0.016 seconds of expansion.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Yeah, but that's still barely half the hight of the Empire State Building.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

You'll need to wait at least 0.032 seconds to get that high

So you'd happily jump off of one of them?

No. Too short to safely deploy a parachute.

Not Big Ben, you mean the tower clock. Big Ben is a bell.

I'm well aware of the distinction, but if I say "Elizabeth Tower" 80% of people would go "huh?"

3 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

I will def agree with you on that, I only wanted to provide the distinction. No offense was meant.

No it's a good thing to bring up and a great tidbit people love to learn
