7 horses will come and destory the world. And he said, the horses are nukes, and 1 nuke can take out a continent for each.

I have a question, I was talkin to this one kid, major druggie, and for some reason, the stuff he says is total bull but it is creative. He told me that in the year 2012 the world would end because this guy predicted then 7 horses will come and destory the world. And he said, the horses are nukes, and 1 nuke can take out a continent for each. No freakin way can it take out that much I though. But could the biggest nuke take out the smallest continent.
Also, say a medium sized nuke went off, and you can see the cloud build up far away, is it possible to outrun it?

One nuke would not destroy continet,
it could not destroy some big cities even.

there are no weapons powerful enough to destroy a continent
lets say you have a bombshelter and a nuke i slaunced and hits teh city youre in. how long would you have to wait before the radiation settles and its safe to go outside again?

IMO a 25 mt warhead exploded at optimum height would 'kill' - in all meaningful senses of the word/term - any city on the earth today.
You'd have to be pretty far underground - and stay there quite a while - to survive that and live in the area any length of time.
You'd also want to be very lucky if you end up looking at a nuclear flash......if you're a little too close (and how could you tell?) you could well end up with your eyes welded to the back of your skull.
Failing that you might just end up blind (which can happen out to great distances, tens of miles, if you stare at the 'fireball'). Temporary blindness from the indirect scattered light from the flash is also possible but who would knowingly take the chance and have a peep?
With yields in the range of hundreds of kilotons or greater (typical for strategic warheads) immediate radiation injury becomes insignificant. Dangerous radiation levels only exist so close to the explosion that surviving the blast is impossible. On the other hand, fatal burns can be inflicted well beyond the range of substantial blast damage. A 20 megaton bomb can cause potentially fatal third degree burns at a range of 40 km, where the blast can do little more than break windows and cause superficial cuts.
In clear air, the 50 Mt test was capable in principle of inflicting third degree burns at a distance of up to 100 km.
...
There was no previously existing military requirement for a 100 megaton weapon - such weapons are virtually useless for military purposes. The Soviet Union had only one delivery system capable of carrying a weapon of this size - a handful of the relatively slow prop-driven Tu-95 bomber - and it was incapable of intercontinental range with a payload this large. A 100 Mt weapon can level urban areas in a zone 60 km wide, cause heavy damage in a zone 100 km across, and cause 3rd degree burns in a region 170 km across (only a bit smaller than the width of West Germany). Such a weapon can only be used as a means of destroying an entire urban region - a major urban complex including suburbs and even neighboring cities. This scale of destruction is much larger than any discrete urban area in Western Europe. With its dense settlement, use of such a weapon in Europe is equivalent to an attack on a major portion of an entire nation and its population. Fallout from a low altitude or surface burst in central England could produce lethal exposures extending into the Warsaw Pact nations; a similar explosion in West Germany could create lethal fallout as far as the Soviet border.

Even if you had thousand nuclear reactors you wouldn't have enough power to destroy earth.

Since 1963, the Russians have had the equivalent of more than seven additional Manhattan Projects (using the Russian 5-year program instead of the 4-year Manhattan Project), back-to-back, in development of energetics weaponry. Western scientists refuse to accept it, and cannot understand it, as scalar EM theory is not in their textbooks.
just note: �North America has not had 'normal' weather since 1976�
florida... sounds familiar

Just one question, if they can control/change weather so easily why they didn't solve drought in Aral Lake area?
They even made plans for turning current of Siberia's rivers to south because of this problem.
But nowhere in it i find a slim clue that these horses are nukes. ask him where on earth he got THAT from.
