"Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scarytime-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken placebetween 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity"test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in Mayof 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests inthis past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear)"."Eachnation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonatea nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom barsof the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that hecreated it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclearweapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skipahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming".Sorry if this a repost however I thought it would be of interest to some, maybe not all.I'm not suggested you watch through all 14 minutes!but for what is a relatively slow start becomes a startling realisationof how obsessed nations have become with "the bomb" and I did end up watching itthrough. At the end the map lights up to show all the places the bombhas been tested - frightening.The way we treat this planet and the use of such weapons only endorses the fact that maybe we all deserve to win that Darwin Award for our stupid of use with such weapons. Time will tell :)Right that's my philosophy moment over, back to watching the sport :)
