“@wellerstein: E. Teller proposed a 10,000 Mt bomb design in 1954..”
Never proposed. They ran the numbers on paper precisely to debunk it.
@wheelcritter No, it was proposed:http://nuclearsecrecy.com/blog/2012/09/12/in-search-of-a-bigger-boom/ … I think you are confusing w/igniting the atmosphere during WWII.

@wellerstein Would not couple yield nor much fallout into atmosphere, but eject into space. Shadow casting is nonsense. No confusion here.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
