I won Heiwa's €1,000,000 challenge

Quote from: Heiwa on July 05, 2018, 06:33:34 PM

No, all concerned parties got away except Francesco Schettino, the Italian Master responsible for everything.

So I guess now the news media is part of the cover up.

A court in Italy has convicted five people on charges of manslaughter and negligence for the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia off Tuscany last year that left 32 passengers and crew dead.

The court at Grosseto, the city nearest the spot where the Costa Concordia ran aground in January 2012, accepted plea bargains for the cruise ship's helmsman, cabin service director, two bridge officers and the head of the company's crisis team.

The sentences handed down by the court:

-- Director of the crisis unit, Roberto Ferrarini: 2 years, 10 months

-- Cabin Service Director Manrico Giampedroni: 2 1/2 years

-- First Officer Ciro Ambrosio: 1 year, 11 months

-- Helmsman Jacob Rusli Bin: 1 year, 8 months

-- Third Officer Silvia Coronica: 1 1/2 years

I describe it at http://heiwaco.com/news89.htm since many years. The persons you mention never spent a night in jail and were soon back working for the ship owner. Only Schettino is in jail today. Please study what I write before making twerp posts.
Imagine I had a job like Roberto Ferrarini's for many years a long time ago and assisted sorting out many problems ... but I was never accused of causing them.

In a way I like the US Navy style of sorting out similar problems - just jail the sailors involved and shoot the officers. There are too many of them around on any US navy ship anyway.

Yes, a lot of times you can get a relatively sweet deal when you plea bargain, but they are all still convicted felons (manslaughter), so I'm not really sure if any cruise line would want any of them.

Only Schettino is in jail today.

Yes, because he was determined to be the proximal cause of the situation (ordering the ship too close to shore).

In a way I like the US Navy style of sorting out similar problems - just jail the sailors involved and shoot the officers. There are too many of them around on any US navy ship anyway.

For crying out loud, why do you say such stupid things?  Seriously, why?

Yes, you confirm that you are a twerp.
The proximate causes of people being killed on Costa Concordia are deficient crew, life saving appliances, watertight doors, etc, etc. and most it is criminal. I describe it at http://heiwaco.com/news8.htm . The ship was not seaworthy at departure.
Ordering a ship to pass an island in the middle of a night is not a crime. It was ordered by the ship owner to brighten up the winter cruise. No passenger aboard was informed, though.
But topic is cruising in vacuum space. Only twerps do it, but they cannot explain why and how.

But if the captain had not ordered the ship so close to shore, then none of that would have mattered.

No, but it is foolish to pass so closely.

It was ordered by the ship owner to brighten up the winter cruise.

How do you know this?

Then what was the point?

?? Twerp shit as usual. Sorry, I will not respond to your garbish anly longer. So long!

Sorry that you feel that way.  I'm just saying that if your friend had just stayed away from that island, then he wouldn't be in jail right now.

But maybe the steering gear didn't work?

The main screws, rudders and bow thrusters all failed at the same time and the throttle stuck open?

Perhaps the front left tire blew out and caused the boat to veer off and hit the island?

What do you take in your coffee, cream and LSD?

I am a lucky person being able to visit many places due to work at no cost to me 1970-2018. I was paid to visit them. Eg Japan many times 1972-2010! I was wondering about the atomic bombs and  radiation then and visited the memorials about them. Just full of propaganda. Then I happened to become a house owner in Saxony 2000-2016 where Stalin got his uranium to build his atomic bomb 1946/53/89. But no uranium was mined there!!! Ever! It was just propaganda. Which reminded me about this Swedish scientist and Nobel prize winner that had been asked to build a Swedish atomic bomb 1945. He agreed subject all info was peer reviewed and made public. He got a US$1M from the Rockefeller foundation to shut up. This person was a good friend of Niels Bohr that apparently had already built and exploded one atomic bomb while on ski vacation at New Mexico, USA 1942/5. When Niels got back to Denmark he was not popular. Scientists should not design weapons of mass destruction! Poor Niels could not admit it was just a hoax to scare people.
And he could never explain how to ignite such a WMD! Compress uranium metal to double density with a neutron in between? Only twerps believe such nonsense. But there are plenty twerps around, e.g. Donald Trump, Kim of North Korea, etc, etc, and media describe them as reasonable people shaking hands and making 'deals'. ROTFL.
The Swedish Nobel Prize winner recommended me engineering as a career 1964, i.e. things that break down for various reasons. I followed his advice and there we are today.
However, topic here - see post #1, is to describe manned trips to the Moon and planet Mars and fuel consumed by the spacecraft. Many twerps say it has been done or can be done BUT ... they cannot describe it. They refer to people saying they have been in space BUT ... do not realize that these persons are lying actors.
I just feel sorry for twerps believing in WMDs 1945/2018, human space travel 1961/2018 and Arabs destroying skyscrapers at NY 911 2001 by landing planes on the roof.
The world is full of twerps!

Don't waste your sorrow on these twerps Heiwa. They wish to remain blind and ignorant to the truth even if this forums most intelligent member tells them otherwise. Only twerps would not believe you so

And he could never explain how to ignite such a WMD! Compress uranium metal to double density with a neutron in between? Only twerps believe such nonsense.

Only a twerp like Heiwa could spout such nonsense! 
That's a real douzy!  "with a neutron in between". Do you really mean " ONE NEUTRON "?

You do have a good stock of neutron sized tweezers for placing this ONE NEUTRON ?

Try a fast neutron initiator Mr Twerp Heiwa! No wonder you can't understand how "Fat Boy" was "ignited".

Why do I bother reading your comedy?

Please explain how you carefully place your one neutron in the place indicated as neutron initiator.

You are a twerp believing that suddenly compressing plutonium to double density using external slow/fast explosives and an internal neutron initiator ignites the plutonium in a FLASH! Haven't you understood the picture is a joke?

What's this neutron initiator? You told us "Compress uranium metal to double density with a neutron in between".

Now you're claiming "compressing plutonium to double density using external slow/fast explosives and an internal neutron initiator".
What is it? "Uranium" or plutonium? And do we need "a neutron in between" or "neutron initiator"?
Come on, man, at least be consistent with your excuses as to why your bomb won't go off!

No wonder you can't get it to go bang-bang! Did you try lighting the blue touch paper? That might do it!

Let's know when you check it out!

Twerps of the world unite!

Bye bye one barbecued Heiwa, slightly over-done! .

It is a military secret but uranium and plutonium are metals that, when compressed to double density by mechanical or other (explosive?) means and mixed with neutrons in a WMD, they ignite in a FLASH. It is called military fission. The metal atoms split into two other atoms, nuclear, scientific twerps suggest. It lasts nano-seconds and another result is a big, hot, dirty mushroom cloud full of radiation.

Of course there is real fission used in peaceful, civilian, nuclear power plants. Uranium oxide molecules there split under moderated conditions, energy is released to heat water to steam. No FLASHES, no MUSHROOM CLOUDS. Twerps mix up military fission and civilian fission. The first is fantasy or propaganda, the other is real.

How is civilian fission initiated, moderated and controlled?

Civilian fission takes place inside a reactor vessel and the number of neutrons that fission the uranium oxide fuel is controlled by rods inside it. There are no secrets. There are 100's of tons of uranium fuel that lasts several years. It produces steam that drives turbo alternators producing electricity.

Military fission fuel is pure uranium metal - say about 60 kg - that becomes pure energy in a FLASH that lasts nano-seconds. Only twerps like POTUS Trump & Co. believe in it

I explain the difference at http://heiwaco.com/bomb.htm . I also pay anyone €1M that can explain how to ignite a WMD.

This is Top Secret:

Or you might start with 6.4 kg of Plutonium-239, though you need a much faster implosion or you'll get a fizzer - please don't try this at home !
And it does not "become pure energy in a FLASH"!
In Little Boy only about 0.7 g U-235 was converted into energy and
in Fat Man only about 1.0 g Pu-239 was converted into energy - you can do the m = E/mc² bit!
The rest ended up as big nasty radioactive fall-out!

Ultra-Fast Nuclear Detonation Pictures
10-nanosecond long images taken 1 millisecond after various nuclear explosions

This image captures two common elements: the spikes (called "rope tricks") and an uneven surface shape.

At this stage of the detonation the surface of the fireball has a temperature of 20,000 degrees, three times hotter than the sun's surface. At such temperatures the amount of thermal radiation (light) given off is so enormous anything it touches is vaporized ahead of the expanding fireball. The three spikes in this image result from the guide wires supporting the tower on which the bomb was located absorbing enough heat to turn into light emitting plasma. Because thermal radiation travels faster than the fireball, the spikes extend out ahead of it.

Experiments with different support wires showed that if they were painted black to better absorb radiation they were longer. If painted with a reflective silver paint they don't appear at all.

One might expect an explosive fireball to expand in a perfect sphere. Actually, variations in the density of the bomb's surrounding case create the mottlings and and complex shapes in many of these images.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The support tower in the image above provides a convenient size scale. Most of the above images capture the fireball when it is 100 feet in diameter, typically 0.001 seconds after the control operator pressed the "fire" button.

Looks like a load of doctored nonsense rab. I suppose you are going to tell us these flash points get hotter than the core of our own sun?

What's next? Particle accelerators smashing atoms together resulting in temperatures in the trillions of degrees?

Silly twerp!

What did who doctor?

Didn't you listen when your mummy read it out to you, tut tut!

At the core of the sun, gravitational attraction produces immense pressure and temperature, which can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Signed, Silly twerp and proud of it!

I'm well aware of the suns inner core temperature thanks. I'm also aware of reports that the detonation of nuclear bombs had a flash point that exceeded 15 million degrees. I am not talking about a mundane fireball.

If this were true it could have ignited the earths atmosphere in a devasting cascade with the oxygen molecules. Apparently we have taken the chance of ending life as we know it on our planet more than 2000 times.

Only twerps believe in such nonsense.

Well, as I always tell various twerps trying to collect €1M from me by winning my Challenges: Just provide some real evidence that any amounts of pure uranium or plutonium metal can suddenly 'explode'!
Pure metal! Exploding? How? Compress the metal?
Don't just quote some military twerps saying they know how to do it.
How do you compress pure metal?
And why would it EXPLODE?
Pls, don't suggest a neutron does it! Only twerps think so.
But I know! It is taught at top US universities. But only twerps can afford to attend them.

I'm well aware of the suns inner core temperature thanks. I'm also aware of reports that the detonation of nuclear bombs had a flash point that exceeded 15 million degrees. I am not talking about a mundane fireball.

Please indicate the source of your 15 million degrees. I take little notice of hearsay like, "I'm also aware of reports".
But what sort of nuclear bombs generates this 15 million degrees, fission or fusion, it does make a huge difference?
I'll let you work out the highest possible temperature attained if all 88 TJ of the Fat-man detonation was released into just the 6.4 kg Pu-235 core.

If this were true it could have ignited the earths atmosphere in a devasting cascade with the oxygen molecules. Apparently we have taken the chance of ending life as we know it on our planet more than 2000 times.

Again that's just a hypothetical statement so please show your source.

But I believe you are incorrect anyway!
There can be no significant quantity of oxygen in the vicinity of the core to take part in a devasting cascade.
By the time the fireball expands into the atmosphere the temperature is far lower than your claimed.
In any case, to fuse oxygen requires a temperature of over 10⁹K and a density of over 2Χ10¹²kg/m³.

Only twerps believe in such nonsense.

I've proven above that I don't believe in such nonsense but you seem to. So, Mr Shifter, it looks like you're the twerp.

Here is a twerp website listing the temperatures of a few detonations.

https://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/SimonFung.shtml

Here is a reply from some twerp from quora

tom bombs usually get up to around 4.5KeV, or 52 million kelvin or so. I’ve read report of the Upshot Knothole Simon test shot yielded a core temp of 5.4KeV, or 62.6 million kelvin. 
For hydrogen bombs, the hydrogen fuel has to be heated to 30 million kelvin before it’ll even burn. For the most modern nuclear weapons, with high efficiencies, the fusion plasma plasma temperature can be over 230 million kelvin by the time the reaction is complete.

The Sun’s core is 16 million kelvin. So hydrogen bombs can produce temperatures at least 14.5 times hotter than The Sun’s core.

If this were true it could have ignited the earths atmosphere in a devasting cascade with the oxygen molecules. Apparently we have taken the chance of ending life as we know it on our planet more than 2000 times.

At what temperature is the atmosphere supposed to ignite?  What conditions are required to sustain this ignition for any significant length of time?

Perhaps you should read this discussion of (The Impossibility of) Lighting Atmospheric Fire
http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/chung1/

Military fission is very simple - compress two bits of pure uranium or plutonium metal together with a neutron in between and ... FLASH ... the metal is transformed into hot, high pressure energy that in nano-seconds vaporizes every onlooker except miraculous survivors/twerps that witnessed the FLASH and survived the hot temperature and the high pressure shock wave and told media about it.

Only a twerp can survive a WMD explosion and tell media about it. Topic here is my difficult space flight challenge. Only twerps think they can win it. One problem is that they don't know how to get the fuel with them.
It is like my WMD challenge. One problem is to show how to ignite the WMD. The twerps suggest you compress two pieces of metal and ... FLASH.

ROTLF.

How many times do we have to tell you that your description of "military fission" is wrong?
