Playtime Comments : [Veritasium] How Kodak Exposed The Atomic Bomb

C*:

7:29 "Radioactive material was blown into most of the country."
Yeah, and into southern Canada.
Kodak really underestimated how beneficial this lawsuit could have been.

Ja*****:

@7:30 wow. The phrase "happy cows come from California" has a whole new meaning

PV*******:

4:17
Where ever the wind flows
Something really matters to meeeeeeeee

To******:

7:29 I like how the fallout respects borders and doesn't enter Canada.

No******:

9:09 it's great to see a map where the radiation fallout observes boundaries and borders.
It looks very hot (red) in the North

er*********:

9:00 very kind of the US government to stop the fallout from crossing the Canadian border

Ki*******:

10:02 10/10 pun

Ea*******:

8:49 - The audio clip from an old government film says that tests showed radioactive fallout increased only a small amount, along with the chances of mutations. And he says all of that while the film shows a collection of humans who turned into rabbits.

ca*********:

0:43 And Fermi, Feynman, Oppenheimer, and von Neumann ALL died of cancer.

Da*****:

Excellent video! Just a tiny correction concerning minute 1:52: It's not the Radium itself which glows due to its radioactivity. The glow comes from a second component, like zinc sulfide which is luminicent when exposed to radiation.

st*******:

It's funny how the fallout stops at the border with Canada. How considerate to not invade other countries.

Ga*******:

FYI: Pre 1945 Battleship steel is sought after for instrument making especially those involved with radioactivity. This is because all steel since then has been contaminated by radioactive fallout elements during it's smelting.

MA********:

Nike Missle silo, Santa Monica mountains. I bike up that way, great single track!

Jo**************:

This is considerably more concerning than I expected it to be

Gl**********:

"I have become death, the destroyer of worlds" couldn't have been a more true statement by Oppenheimer. Likely not even knowing how much death would occur decades later.

Ga**************:

I'm pretty sure this had a different title before. It was something like, "how the film industry covered the atomic bomb", or something along those lines. Why was it changed?

Ye****:

I was born and live in Rochester, NY, so the history of Kodak being awesome is great, but it's downfall is sad.

bi**********:

“The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.” ― Carl Sagan

FU***:

Still never forget Quark's words from DS9:

"They irradiated their own atmosphere?!"

Me**********:

my grandfather actually found a bunch of sand that got turned into radioactive glass from some of the tests. we still have it in some medicine bottles

Ch****:

The real question: How did his beard go from gray to dark brown?

HI*****************:

The worse is only knowing how many "nuclear secrets of the past" we don't know yet.

el**************:

The video was outstanding. I couldn't see it being made any better. Top notch! One minor thing, since I was born in NY, All - bany". :-)

42********:

-We need create the mother of all bombs to protectec worselves.
-Ok, i have one. When we can test?
-Ovwer here on garden.

Fu******:

Take a moment to appreciate the '59 Pontiac in the background

Li************:

As a biologist and just watching the video I think we should be jealous of the organism called Deinococcus radiodurans. This bacterium is able to completely repair its shattered chromosomes after being exposed to high levels of radiation (which cause DNA breaks). While humans experience neurological damages after being exposed to radiation of roughly 30 Gy, D. radiodurans can survive over 10000 Gy, since it is able to very effectively connected fragmented DNA (I'm just making a video about human DNA repair systems). Great video so far!

Ty********:

"There's something wrong with this picture" - that about sums it up.

Ja********:

When the truth is scarier than the conspiracies.

Te******:

Living in the UK, I’m rather glad that they didn’t test on the east coast.

Le**********:

"this is how they exposed it"
"Oh that? Yeah I worked on the Manhattan project so I helped make the thing that I'm exposing"

Th*******:

The hardest thing for me to wrap my mind around is that the United States has detonated over 1,000 nuclear bombs. I think it's easy to perceive that there have been only a handful, the ones dropped in World War II and a few tests since, but that's far from the truth. Close to 2,000 nuclear bombs have ever been detonated globally that we know of. That's a lot of radiation.

Li*************:

That was an agreement?
Government: How about, INSTEAD of we lose money, you shut up for free and we'll tell you when you need to shut up for free.
Kodak: ok o.o

Is********:

To the military, life is just a score card to measure if they are “winning”.

St****************:

Specialist: Advises the military where to safety conducts tests.
Military: Lets do the opposite.

Ha************:

"There's something wrong with this picture." What a sly, innocuous pun. Hahha

Dy********:

I like how the US government was just like “yeah, we understand the whole ‘safety,’ ‘health,’ and ‘death’ thing, but if we put it here we can make weapon advancements faster. And that’s more important”

Jo********:

All the 2 headed rabbits Iv'e seen living in Nevada make so much sense now.

Ro************:

I worked for Kodak Research Labs for several years at the research complex in Rochester, NY (which was a great experience!) along with 7,000 other scientists, engineers, and technicians. After I left there I discovered that there was a secret, licensed operating nuclear reactor in one of the adjacent KRL buildings which was decommissioned once KRL was finally shut down. The reactor secretly operated for over thirty years, and was finally shut down in 2007 (when it's 5 lbs of uranium were removed).

dr****:

I also want to mention the low-background steel. As modern steel is processed using atmospheric air, any steel produced after the testing has significant amount of contamination from radionuclides. However, steel made before Trinity doesn't and therefore has got an application in radiation sensitive equipments such as Geiger counters. This type of steel is usually salvaged from ships that sunk before 1945. There is a Wikipedia article about this with some references at the bottom, and you can probably find more info on the internet.

ph*****************:

Great video and I learned a lot! Thank you! 

Also, I couldn't help but notice the background in your onsight location while you narrated most of this video. Is this the old missile silo in the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy located above Encino and the San Fernando Valley to the north and Los Angeles to the south divided by and on Mulholland Drive? 

They were used by the US Military in the second world war. The silos (and there are many more) were built to house and if need be, to fire missiles at Japanese warships had they come too close to large west-coast American cities. Thankfully, they never had to be used. 

Fun fact: Your particular silo guest-starred in Eddie Murphy's movie "Golden Child" as a location shoot.
