"Atomic bombs for dummies"

Of course you're not a dummy!  You're a highly-educated, respected expert in whatever your field is...just like Katie Couric or Hakeem Jeffries or Chuckie Schumer, eh?  So you'll already know everything I've explained below, eh?

Nuclear physics is the key to atomic bombs.  And if you wanna understand what's going on with Iran, you need to understand nuclear physics.

Unfortunately the odds are 10,000 to one that you don't know jack-shit about nuclear physics--in which case your opinions about Iran are worth virtually nothing, because you know almost nothing relevant about nuclear weapons.

So read on to see how much you knew.  Trigger warning: If you're a Democrat you will deny every fact below, cuz "We reject any facts we find upsetting!"  Totally true.  And with that intro...

In highschool, or maybe freshman year in college, you may recall things called "isotopes," eh? Sure ya do!  They're atoms of the same element but with different neutrons, so different masses, eh?

Now: "natural" uranium consists almost entirely of two isotopes: U-235 and U-238.  The latter has 3 more neutrons.  About 99.28% of all the uranium on Earth is U-238, while less than one percent is U-235.  (If you're curious it's less than three-quarters of one percent.) 

Only one of those two atoms supports "fast fission" needed to make a bomb.  Fortunately for humans, it's the lighter U-235...the one that's less than one percent of all uranium atoms.

Humans also got another lucky break:  the *other* isotope--U-238--not only doesn't do "fast fission," it actually absorbs the particles that would have made the other isotope go boom.  So U-238 actually opposes the boom.

And in fact to build a bomb you have to remove almost all the "bad" isotope, so that your uranium is 90% U-235.

Econ majors: "What's the big deal?  Can't we just order U-235 instead of U-238?"

Fortunately you can't, cuz all uranium in the world is already pre-mixed to 99.28% unusable, less than one percent that'll go boom.

Journalism majors: "I din' take chem, cuz dat's fo' geeks, an' I wuz a cool kid, but lotsa pipo sed yew can do "chemical reactions" to do damn near anything!  So there should be a way to separate 'em using a simple chemical reaction, right?"

Thanks for playing, Katie Couric, but no, because even though one of the isotopes can go boom while the other can't, the two are chemically identical, which means they act exactly alike in chemical reactions.  (An atomic bomb is NOT a chemical reaction, unlike dynamite or TNT or gunpowder.)

So the only way to separate the two is to use their infinitesimal weight difference.

Film majors: "My nerdy sister dated another nerd (obviously) who had a really expensive scale that could weigh something to one one-thousandth of a gram.  Will that work?"

Not even close.  The difference in weights between the booming and boom-killing isotopes is 
0.0000000000000000000000005 (5 x 10^-24) grams.  That's not hyperbole, but literal.  Beginning to see the problem yet?

Since atom bombs exist, obviously there's a way to separate 'em, but it's unbelievably costly: you build thousands of expensive "gas centrifuges,"  turn U into gas, spin it at 100,000 revolutions per minute or so, and the heavier isotope gets thrown a thousandth of an inch wider than the lighter one.  But it's only slight, so you have to recover the "good" stream and do it again.  And again and again, to get it to the 90% U-235 to make a bomb.  Got it?

This process is called "enrichment," and the Islamic regime of Iran has been doing it for at least 15 years--deep under mountains where bombs couldn't reach.

Now: During the last round of negotiations between us and the Islamic regime, Iranian representatives told US officials they'd managed to enrich 460 kg of uranium to 60% of the explosive isotope.  They were reportedly proud of having evaded inspection "protocols" negotiated by the Obozo regime to prevent Iran from accumulating uranium enriched beyond 10%.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed closely, reporting Iran had about 441 kg of 60% uranium, but that much of this material was reportedly buried under rubble after strikes in June 2025. 

Experts say it would only take about ten days to enrich 60% uranium to 90% (weapons-grade), able to produce about 11 atomic bombs.

And once uranium has been enriched to 90%, all physics people know making the actual bomb is trivially easy: you just slap two half-grapefruit-size hemispheres into each other.

SO...when Democrat morons on TV bleat that "Iran was no threat to the U.S, ask 'em 
   1) Has the Islamic state of Iran killed thousands of Americans in the past?
   2) They claim to be enriching uranium to fuel nuclear powerplants, which only need 10%. Have they been enriching uranium to way more than the 10% needed?
   3) Why do you think would they go to that huge expense and effort when powerplants only need 10%?

   4) Why do you think the Lying Mainstream Media hasn't made this clear?
