  • The largest amount of Francium ever collected of any isotope was a cluster of 10,000 atoms (francium-210) created as an ultracold gas at Stony Brook in 1997. This would not be enough to make a bomb of that size. Francium-223 is the most stable isotope with a half-life of 21.8 minutes. Any method using current technology would not be able to make it faster then it decays. If you did by the time the bomb was at its intended location there would not be enough material left? This video is a hoax

  • yeah i did say "presumably francium" because thats the kind of explosion francium would generate - but it was probably just some charges pr something - and besides its a cool explosion regardless of what made it

see all

  • @40390576 it is because francium starts to decay with just the moisture in the air so how would you be able to get that much and cause that explosion

  • Was that a francium alkali metal on contact with water?

  • @TybrakerXx Those were test boats put there by the US military. There were no people on them and no fishing boats in the area.

  • @IloveyouLenaKatina No, just asking out of curiosity.

  • @pulgabros Is this a theoretical question?

  • Does anyone know why you can't find the Enewetak Atoll and the Catus Dome on Google Earth?
