A Bombs vs. N Bombs: What’s the Difference?1
N = 3,333 times more powerful
Both are capable of mass destruction. Here’s what you should know about each.
Little Boy released about 15 kilotons of energy, equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT, and sent a mushroom cloud up to about 25,000 feet. The Fat Man produced an explosion of about 21 kilotons. The B83? 1.2 megatons, equaling 1,200,000 tons of TNT, making it 80 times more powerful than the Little Boy.
It gets even more terrifying than that. The largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, set off by the Soviet Union in 1961, produced an insane 50-megaton blast—about 3,333 times more powerful than the Little Boy bomb that leveled an entire city. The Tsar Bomba is the largest manmade explosion to date, sending a mushroom cloud up to more than 130,000 feet in altitude—about 4.5 times the height of Mount Everest—as it sent shockwaves around the globe three times over.
Is a pure fusion bomb possible? Despite the many millions of dollars spent by the U.S. between 1952 and 1992 to produce a pure fusion weapon, no measurable success was ever achieved.
How about a six-month round-trip to Mars instead?
Lets remind 21st Century Humanity History 74 years ago
Why because September 2024 we are rapidly heading to the knife edge of repeating a new level of Historic Destruction.

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., a bright flash set the sky over Hiroshima ablaze. A gigantic column of smoke rises above the city. The first nuclear bomb in history has just been dropped on the largest metropolis in western Japan. This new documentary shows this tragedy from the inside using photos taken that day.
Narrated by Richard Baseheart and produced by David L. Wolper, TEN SECONDS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD is a factual and chronological account of the events preceding the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II and the significant effect of the atomic bomb on peacetime projects and events of the atomic age. It features all the major players in the birth of the atomic age from Marie Curie to Albert Einstein to Enrico Fermi, Robert Oppenheimer, Edward Teller, Leo Szilard, President Truman, and more. The film was criticized for sanitizing the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and the fact that it ignores the second bombing at Nagasaki altogether. David Lloyd Wolper (January 11, 1928 – August 10, 2010) was an American television and film producer, responsible for shows such as Roots, The Thorn Birds, North & South, L.A. Confidential, and the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). He also produced numerous documentaries and documentary series including Biography (1961–63), The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (TV), Appointment with Destiny (TV series), This is Elvis, Four Days in November, Imagine: John Lennon, Visions of Eight (1973), and others. Wolper directed the 1959 documentary The Race for Space, which was nominated for an Academy Award. His 1971 film (as executive producer) about the study of insects, The Hellstrom Chronicle, won an Academy Award. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
