Explosives

Explosives

Nick and Ellie wrap up season 2 talking about the chemistry and history of explosives, from gunpowder to nuclear weapons, along with the proliferation of dynamite from Looney Tunes to Nobel Prizes. The human cost of explosives is already uncountable and continuing to this day, including the effects of nuclear weapons testing.

"These weapons are not a necessary evil, they are they the ultimate evil." - Setsuko Thurlow on nuclear weapons, during her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance lecture in 2017
