A tsunami would destroy coastal cities. Earthquakes would level countries. New volcanoes would arise that would pollute the atmosphere. Earth could be torn apart or fly out of its orbit. Currently, the deepest place on earth is located in the Marian Trench.
The Marian Trench is the deepest known place that looks like an upside-down mountain. Its depth reaches 11 km. This is one of the last places on earth unexplored by man.
I would like you to watch a short movie, which will help you with the questions below the video.

Comments
2. In my opinion such experiments are never really safe, even on a small scale. We are still not experts in the field of chemistry or physics, we know a lot but we aren’t able to predict everything. Also, even if nothing happens to us as a humans during this experiment, other animals and plants may suffer.
3. According to the movie, nothing would happen to our planet, but in my opinion people would like to build an even stronger bomb and another experiment etc. etc. …. until something would happen to it.
1. In general, I am against nuclear testing because it makes us more and more eager for a new and improved nuclear arsenal. And all this is small and insignificant, but the first step in the armed conflict.
2. It's hard to say if such experiments are safe or not. However, thinking logically, I think that it can certainly have a negative effect, although for organisms living in the sea. Our civilization is not sufficiently developed to carry out such nuclear tests - we do not have the right tools and we do not have the appropriate knowledge.
3. As I answered question 1 - such nuclear tests cause further interest in this area, which may contribute to people's not rational behavior.
2. The experiment can not be 100% safe, but they are tested by hundreds of the most brilliant scientists the country that is testing the bomb can provide.
3.I have no idea. Probably it wouldn’t be too pleasant. Hope we never find out.
As a fan of post-apocalyptic theme I was fascinated about them, but I realised how much are they harmful to local ecosystem. Even though they want destroy Earth in an instant they can harm nature which is already pretty devastated because of people.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I believe no, radioactive tests are not 100% safe. There will always be some leftover that can damage living organisms.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
I believe as they said in the video, to the whole planet not that much but to the animals and plants at the bottom of the sea, many bad things. It can poison water nearby for generations.
2. No, such experiments are not safe. Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous, so even under test conditions it shouldn’t be used.
3. In my opinion, nothing serious would happen. So far there have been hundreds, if not thousands of detonations of nuclear weapons as part of tests that no one seemed to care about. Some animals died, the soil has been contaminated and that's it.
2. I think scientists try to figure out what would specific experiment do for example to our planet and then if it is safe they are testing it. I think it's safe.
3 As he said in the video. It wouldn't do much. It would kill sea animals, make some nuclear bubbles and maybe a dangerous rain. Nothing more.
2. According to the video, they are. Unless you take into account the loss of life of thousands of underwater animals which would basically be burned alive. Unfortunately, to some people is seems to be irrelevant and not taken into consideration.
3. Yeah, no volcano eruptions, no earthquakes, no tsunami, no frills. However, a radioactive rainfall is still likely.
The number of nuclear tests carried out by the USSR, China and France was higher than reported. The number of 2366 explosions is composed of: 1030 US (815 underground and 215 in the atmosphere), at least 1000 Soviet (508 underground and 207 in the atmosphere), 205 French (148 underground and 54 in the atmosphere), 45 British (23 in the USA), 73 Chinese (23 in the atmosphere and 20 underground), at least 7 Indian and 5 Pakistani. These explosions caused many more deaths than the only two bombs that have been used so far during the war. The military and politicians of almost all the nuclear countries, but especially of the USSR and China, showed an incredible disregard for human life. For this reason, I do not think it was necessary.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Yes, an atomic bomb explosion is very safe :)
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
A single atomic explosion completely destroyed the artificial island and left a crater with a diameter of 1.5 km and a depth of 75 m. The radioactive fallout from the Castle Bravo explosion caused a major ecological disaster. Combined with the unfavorable wind and the great power of the explosion, the nearest islands were contaminated. Tests conducted by the American army over 60 years ago show that the Bikini atoll is more radioactive than Chernobyl. Such an experiment would have ended in depopulation.
Atomic bombs are quite devastating in effect and aren't useful for the human race to develop and improve. So in my opinion they shouldn't be tested in the future, because the world should strive to be a more peacful place.
2.
On some desolete place or high in the athmosphere it is relatively safe.
3.
Nothing substantial, since our earth survived thousand of atomic bomb tests, so another explosion wouldn't do much, yet it wouldn't do anything good either.
I think that is something strongly unacceptable, which must be prohibited as it is very dangerous for all ecosystem in general. Creating and testing bombs - mustn`t take place at all.
When I`ve read that a total of 381,300 nuclear bombs have been dropped in the world.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Definitely- not. The human and environmental devastation is felt. Radiation is spreading in the atmosphere, causing severe contamination. Doctors believe that cancers are caused by radiation or some disability allowances take place. However, it is believed that below ground tests are much safer.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
It wouldn`t be totally devastating, but surely would affect our planet.
I think the existence of atomic bombs are completely wrong. All the bombs like this should be utilized. I don’t want to think how our world will look like if the war with bombs like this starts. It could be the worst scenario which we can imagine.
2. Are such experiments safe?
The definition of this is the bomb so it couldn’t be safe to experiment with this. Moreover its nuclear bomb so definitely it is not safe to do anything with it.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Not much, but it depends on many conditions, where it will took place, how big bomb it will be, the range of nuclear impact. It will be a big loss to our planet exactly in this place but in general probably not a big deal.
I don't know what I think about it. Certainly atomic bombs are dangerous, that's why testing
which are also done are dangerous. I think we should not do this but every country must
to give up nuclear weapons.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Clean it with no. Just look that no experiment with the atomic bomb is safe.
We should stop using it because it may end badly for our planet.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
We will destroy our planet
1. I believe it is necessary for scientific progres for humans to learn how to create and utilize atomic Energy. As long as the tests are taking place in controlled environments, I have no issues with that. It also shows people the true destruction the bomb may cause, making them rethink whether the usage of such bomb is trully necessary.
2. It depends. Are they safe for environment? No, they are not, but the testing sites often are already void of living creatures, to minimalize the impact. Are they safe for humans? As long as they keep their distance, they should be alright. I wouldn't go near such experiment though, just in case something went wrong.
3. Nothing really. Of course, it depends where the test would take place. But as stated in the video, hundred of atomic bomb experiments have already been done, and we see no change in our everyday lives. Yes, there are areas in the world contaminated by radioactivity, but other than that, nothing is different.
Of course I do not approve it. Using it as an energy is a great idea but there is no way that anyone wouldn't think about it as a weapon. It's not hard to make such a bomb which makes this world a very dangerous place these days as some psycho can hide those bomb and use them when he wants to.
2. Are such experiments safe?
No, just because no humans are dying because of that, there are life forms that we don't speak about. And we just make some part of earth not able to grow life.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
It would take effects for over hundred years. Lucky for our planet, nature always finds a way to come back to life. We can see such scenario in Czarnobyl
I'm not a pacifist, but I'm against nuclear testing (not just bombs - I'm also talking about missiles and explosives). This is a very high energy that can kill more people than the COVID-19 pandemic. When he invented dynamite, Nobel stated that it was a threat to the human world and founded the Nobel Prize.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Laugh, safe! 100% not! This can be seen from Hiroshima or Chernobyl. A nuclear power plant is such a "small" nuclear charge. So how can such experiments be safe! Laugh!!!
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
We know perfectly well that such experiments are being done in the world and nothing is happening to our planet. Maybe larger tectonic movements, maybe "light" radiation ;-) with which we live long enough to get used to ... maybe something else. Well, someone pushes these buttons and detonates.
I think its totaly unnecessary. As a humanity we should reach the point where we are so civilized and developed race that we should stop producing atomic bomb at all not mentioning testing them in the fields.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Hell no. It not safe at all. Playing with nuclear energy can have terrific end. Not mentioning the pollutions that detonating a bomb like this can emit to atmosphere. Russians didn't predict the power of the tsar bomb and even thay were suprised by the power it had.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Probably we wouldn't even noticed. Maybe in some reaserch labs the detectors would find some weird singnals but as said in the video many nuclear test have been made in last 70 years.
2. For fish in that area? No. For the entire planet? Well, if science says "Yes" my answer will be "Yes" until someone will find any information that disapproves of statements before. Cause such a situation is also a part of the science. It is how it works in fact.
3. Well, this video says that nothing, if its creators have enough knowledge for such a conclusion, the answer is nothing. However, I have less than they, so I let somebody else to calculate all those steps.
2. I'm not an expert, but I don't think so. I don't think that humanity has fully knowledge about possible consequences of this power.
3. It depends of the scenerio. If everything would end up good - average person wouldn't even know that such experiment had place.
From the scientific point of view, I think they can provide some interesting discoveries and information about nuclear bombs themselves. However I hope we will stop at testing the bombs at the development phase and never test them "on production" :).
2. Are such experiments safe?
Obviously not. Nothing with this range of deadliness can be described as "safe".
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
As mentioned in the video - nothing would really happen. I am in no position to oppose to this statement, as my knowledge in this field is rather poor.
2. According to the video, yes they are safe. But I'm not really convinced. Even if testing doesn't have bad influence on earth, i think it might have bad influence on local wildlife.
3. Sorry, I don't know, i'm not a nuclear physicist.
What do I think about atomic bomb testing? Well I think it should be stopped or at last severely limited. In our times when our environment is so damaged and polluted, we don't need to add atomic bomb testing that destroy large areas of the environment and kill creatures in this area, just to see how powerful weapons we've created or can create and how many people we can kill using this weapon.
2. Are such experiments safe?
It’s all depended what you mean when you say safe. Is it safe for people? Mostly yes at last until you don't accidentally approach the testing area. For environment? I don’t think so one test can kill thousands of creatures maybe even some which we have not yet discovered and also destroy large areas of the environment that they live in. For planet? For now, yes but one day… who know.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Nothing would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place as was said in you movie but if they try more of this kind experiment then one day they will really destroy life on planet or do something similar just because they think that they are the smartest and know all and can control all until it's too late.
2 / I do not think that any experiment of this magnitude cannot be safe.
3 / There have already been cases of launching missiles as well as experiments with this technology, and we know many of them as tragic consequences.
2. I don’t know I’m not a scientist, I can only believe that people who are doing those are responsible and won’t do any harm.
3. Same as in previous question I don’t know, but if I had to guess I would say that something may happed to tectonic shields or something with radiation pollution.
2. They are never safe. During atomic blast there are released many elements which throw water and air circulate on the Earth. Than we drink and breath be them.
3. Until now there were thousands of atomic tests. I think one more couldn't change their influence on us.
I think atomic bombs shouldn’t exist in the first place. The production of atomic bombs should be a crime against humanity.
2. Are such experiments safe?
Not at all, this is like experimenting how hard is your head by hitting it to a wall.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
I'm not an expert on this so, I don't know what will happen but I know that we have only one planet and bombs are created to destroy and we shouldn’t be destroying our planet.
In my opinion this is unnecessary but we can't change the world. Every country want be ready to fight with each other and they want to dictate terms for the others. Probably in some day it will stop being under control.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I think tests on atomic bombs are safe but there is always some percentage for people mistakes. There was some nuclear power plants which exploded even if it was safe for a while.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Honestly i have no idea.
They should be banned - for so many thousands of years we've been struggling with inventing languages to communicate with each other, that we do not need weapons to negotiate. If it is for scientific reasons, then why not. I will always support technological progress.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I am sure they are safe, because scientists are making them for longer than 70 years now.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Pretty much nothing. Maybe it would take some lifes because of the toxic bubbles, but that's pretty much it.
I know how much they are harmful to local ecosystem and it makes me bad, so they should be totally banned.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I am not sure. We never can't be sure for 100% . There always can be some leftovers that can destroy our planet and living organisms on it.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
For animals and plants in the sea - a lot. It can poison animals outside and inside the oceans.
I think that this sort of things should not happen but it is impossible to forbid. All big countries that want to have nuclear power must test atomic bombs and will do so.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I think they are safe to people that live in a country until they are proceeded in proper way. Altough they are not safe for the ecosystem around - forests, rivers in nearby area.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
It propably would destroy whole undersea ecosystem not only nearby but in wider space because poisoned water would be moving around the global waters. It would be harmful to animals living in the water and people aswell because propably some part of the water would still be used by us.
2. Nuclear warheads don't explode by themselves, they have pretty sophisticated mechanisms to initiate a chain reaction, it can't explode unless when it's needed. So if the testing is far away from any human - it's pretty safe.
3. Nothing would have happened.
2. This kind of experiment could be safe when scientism would use minimum amount of explosive substation in very high-tech protected and suited for this sort of tests lab. But otherwise they are definitely not safe.
3. I believe that after this test the world would definitely look different and in the worst scenario over half of the humanity could even die either because of the tsunamis or earthquakes or some kind of nuclear poisoning.
However there is a bad side that it be destructive for our nature.
2. I don't think that is safe because even small effect on nature has a big affect
3. I don't really know what would happen, but I think scientist should learn it really good to do such experiments.
I think that this is one of the worst ideas of mankind. Perhaps such experiments really show how far science has stepped, but the consequences are very unpleasant. It is still not entirely clear why the international community cannot forbid all countries to test such things. Nothing good and useful happened after the atomic bomb explosions. In general, I am categorically against it.
2. Are such experiments safe?
100% no. If you think and consider this issue from any angle from any angle, you can conclude that it is not safe. It is dangerous for humans, for the environment, for nature as a whole, for the entire planet. Such things have only destructive power. It is only on the scale of an arms race between countries. It is unclear what this is for. There are so many different areas of science, technology, culture, art where you can compete. For some reason, people chose this one. Very sorry.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Simply, we would be thousands of steps closer to the demise of civilization. Our whole planet would be in holes. And we would already have planned how to avoid a critical situation after such experiments.
Military testing should be banned. We should only do these tests for the advancement of science.
2.
No, of course not.
3.
It wouldn't really change anything on a global scale, tests like these have been performed thousands of times through out history, like has been said in the video.
2. The question is if the ends justify the means, I think, in that case no because of the possibility to harm our planet drastically.
3. I will worry about the new world conflict and unnecessary tensions between the most powerful countries.
2. Experiments of the scale presented in the video is definitely not safe. Weapon testing is never safe in 100%. If something requires tests that means we are not sure about the consequences of using it. That could lead to potentially horrible effects.
3. We will probably be one step closer to anihilate our civilisation. Humans are just like that - they are created to destroy themselves and they will do everything, even unconsciously, to achieve that goal..
2. It depends on where they are carried out, under what conditions. They are generally not safe, but you can minimize the danger
3. All depends on the scale, location and radioactive nuclei used. In the best case, we will minimally pollute earth, in the worst case we will destroy humanity
My whole thought about atomic bombs is that those are way to powerful sources of destructive force. No one should be able to decide if such power should be used under no circumstances. I understand that they are only working as weapons of fear at the moment to prevent others from using them. If there were no atomic bombs there should be no testing but if they are already invented that means there should be some tests to show how serious they are.
2. Are such experiments safe?
There is no way that any form of such power used in one moment could be considered safe. There are many precautions taken to make it as safe as possible but the risk is always there.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
Apart from the environmental problems there could be much more of the political ones. Depending on which country made an experiment but I guess that if US made such experiment - Russia would consider it a threat and some military actions might become a thing.
As far as I know, 8 atomic bombs dropped to the right places in the world can end life on earth. it's probably dangerous that we have such technology ...
I wonder if they couldn't replace them with computer simulations not to expose any place and creations to influence of radioactive waste.
2. Are such experiments safe?
In some way they are, I think they are made in places that are empty and with many means not to threaten anyone.
3. What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
I wonder if it would be possible to do such an experiment. I think the bomb would explode before reaching the bottom of Marianas Trench, which would cause that range of destruction was far more than this described in a clip.
2.Of course they are not. Anything that is connected to nuclear energy is very dangerous, and we shouldn't risk our planet and lives for any experiment.
3. According to the video, nothing with long-lasting impact would happen, but these are only speculations and I don't think we should conduct such an experiment.
They are a little horrifying. I hope that mutual destruction assurance political theory is correct, and we stop only on the tests. On the bright sight, these tests gather data about nuclear power and it helps scientists with better understanding it.
2. Are such experiments safe?
If taken on the right environment - yes. However, I don't know if every experiment of this kind is taken in one.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
According to the Kurzgesagt - nothing. As mentioned in the video - forces crafted by humans are laughable in comparison to the forces created by nature.
I believe that atomic bomb testing is a way for a country to show other countries your military power. It is rarely because we really want to "test" something. I'm against nuclear testing because we all know if nuclear war emerged it would be the end of humanity.
2. Are such experiments safe?
I think that we try for them to be safe, but we are just humans and we make mistakes. A mistake during nuclear bomb testing could be really catastrophic.
3 What would happen to our planet if such an experiment took place?
As it was stated in the video, I think that nothing much would happen, but I think that it could cause public indignation, and could possibly spark off some international conflicts.
