A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow - if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so - but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

Worked for 17 years in financial industry as a foreign exchange dealer. Studied at Department of Arts, Policy and Management of Musashino Art University, Tokyo.
Currently working for Lalique Museum, Hakone, Japan as a curator.
Created artwork series expressing, in the artist's view, "the fear and the folly of nuclear weapons":

"This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."

@Unique Chris No, it's French Polynesia. Specifically, Fangataufa Atoll and Moruroa Atoll. Bikini and Johnston Atolls were the sites of U.S. Pacific nuclear tests. The French used French Polynesia.
Another incident left out entirely, including from the description, is the 1979 Vela Incident, where satellites detected two flashes of light matching the profile of nuclear detonations in the southern Indian Ocean, roghly half-way between Madagascar and Antarctica. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the detonations, but it's suspected to have been an undeclared joint test by Israel and South Africa.
"An unknown player has entered the game." Now there's a disconcerting notion. 😅
Good point. Israel was the only state that would do (clandeastine) nuclear business with South Africa because it was so heavily sanctioned due to apartheid.
As a follow on to the Vela incident the U.S.A. and СССР would have both sent their nuke isotope sniffing planes to grab samples from the air following the satellite detection. The resultant isotopic fingerprint can reasonably tell you who/what reactor or enrichment process produced the material and also the geologic source. Thus it is fair to conclude that the major powers of the world secretly know who the Vela Incident belongs to but are otherwise choosing to not say.
@@zimports admission of the Vela incident already does admit failure of antiproliferation. The choice to not also reveal identities is seperate from that and undoubtedly political in the extreme. Edit: that the opposing world super powers both chose to not disclose the identities makes it even more curious.

@@marccru A ton of them were actually just done underground in an effort to minimize fallout.
I mean, most of them are detonated in remote locations: The Soviet Union used Kazakhstan and the Novaya Zemlya Island. The USA used Nevada and some islands. The UK used the desert in Australia. France used the Algerian part of the Sahara desert and French Polynesia. India used the Rajasthan desert. Pakistan tested underground in the Ras Koh Hills. And like the first reply said all of them didnt happen at the same time, and how the fourth reply said that most of them were detonated underground to minimize the fallout.

This is horrifying. Numbers alone don’t quite put it in perspective like this. Great job!
The heat generated by nuclear weapons is completely insane, like 100 million degrees, but I’ve never heard about any studies that mention their contribution to nuclear warming.
That is because all that heat is generated in a few nanoseconds and disparates into space due to the ridiculous temperatures extremly fast. Most of the energy from nukes is also primarily gamma radiation and not infrared as well.
100 million degrees in how much of what material?
You may not have, but I have. Turns out, the total warming is something like less than a thousandth of a degree over the whole world.

@@ziggystarbucks6383 yep, they sure did a number on the barren, uninhabitable deserts chosen as testing sites
@@sock398 ACTUALLY! China lake was never uninhabited. Indigenous tribes have always been living there and the US military arbitrarily decided to drive them out of their homes and mark it as a wasteland. It never was a wasteland if you consider the fact that people have been living there and the desert is its own ecosystem with unique flora and fauna. Even the evacuation has sometimes been inadequate and the tribes suffer as a result. The maps, however, conveniently show a blank nothingness where the China lake military zone is, even though Death Valley right next to it is literally a tourist destination. It's such a huge lie and barely anyone knows. The US has done a similar thing to an island community the name of which I forget, and their people still suffer from the effects of nuclear contamination and the loss of opportunities and development that accompanies it. It's truly tragic and a horrible thing.

1958 was a mess because both sides knew negotiations on a bilateral treaty were to start on 31 Oct 1958, so they went all out to get as much done as possible. The US did 5 tests on Oct 30, and had another one scheduled but it was scrubbed for weather concerns. The Soviets fired two more three days later, causing considerable recriminations. the bilateral talks failed, but the Soviets continued the moratorium unilaterally and the US did so as well.
