"1945-1998" Nuclear Detonation World Map & Animated Timeline
Videos for Engineers
Japanese artist Isao Hashimmoto created this video that shows
all of the world's nuclear detonations from 1945 to 1998. "This piece of work is a bird's eye view of
the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second... The blinking light, sound and
the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted."
At 1 second/month, things are slow-moving at first, then by 1955 the fireworks really get going. The
first blip is in the Nevada desert at the Trinity test site in July of 1945. The USSR entered the nuclear club in May 1949,
followed by the UK in August 1952. By the end, 7 countries were players, but since then N. Korea joined.
Soon, thanks to moronic politicians, Iran will also have detonated a nuke.Contact the artist:
