"Isao Hashimoto: "This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."

Glad to see these "old" subjects being revived from time to time :)

Thanks Herve for the mention

And I wanted to check if it was previous posted,but I've done many times before,even if I didn't started the thread...and nothing showed up before...and the thought was "Why should I check it now?" and voila :)

Perhaps that "not checking" moment was meant to post this again...and it was a looong staring at that button...

Now,technically,being a double thread,if I would be a moderator,I'll would merge it with the first original one or delete it or keep it for those who don't have time to dig deep in Avalon forum or for new readers.But I'm not a moderator and don't intent to be :),I'm not good at it :)

Thanks again Herve :)

I wonder if that includes all detonations of suitcase nukes/ mini-nukes.

Wikipedia states "No tactical nuclear weapon has ever been used in a combat situation."

Siide note: If someone were to edit that wiki statement to: No (verified) tactical nuclear weapon has ever been used in a combat situation .... would in stick?
