The Catastrophic Impact of a Nuclear Godzilla: An Insane Mathematical Analysis

Imagine if Godzilla's destructive powers reached an uncontrollable point. In 2019, they suggested the King of Monsters was on the brink of exploding. Luckily, it was Mothra who gave him something to manage his energy. But what if that explosion had actually happened? Let's break down the potential consequences using some mathematical approximation and the example of a nuclear bomb, like Little Boy.

The Potential Blast Radius of a Nuclear Godzilla

First, we must consider the meltdown of Godzillas original reactors. In Godzilla vs Destroyah (1995), the initial meltdown described a blast that originated from a reactor. Let's compare this to the blast radius of a nuclear bomb to estimate the potential damage an exploding Godzilla could inflict.

Estimating Godzilla's Heart Size and Weight

Starting with the proportions of a lizard's heart to its body, we estimate that it takes up 17% of a typical lizard's body. Godzilla, being a massive creature, can be estimated to be 20 meters in height and have a weight of 15,064.4 metric tons, based on these proportions. To make the comparison to a nuclear bomb, this size is far larger.

Comparing Godzilla's Heart to a Nuclear Bomb

Next, we compare Godzilla's 'heart' to the Little Boy bomb, a 3-meter long, 4.4 metric ton nuclear weapon. Godzilla's 'heart' is estimated to be 6.7 times larger in size and 3,423 times heavier than the bomb's. This vast difference in scale significantly increases the potential destructive force.

Calculating the Potential Force and Radius

From the Little Boy bomb's fill weight of 64kg, we estimate that Godzilla's heart would have a fill weight of 915kg, five times that of an average nuclear reactor. This increased fill weight translates to more energy and force. Assuming that the fill weight is correlated with the amount of force produced, we multiply the force by 14, as Godzilla's heart would hold 14 times the fuel of Little Boy. This results in a potential expulsive force of 896 Terajoules (TJ).

Estimating the Blast Radius

Given that the explosion of Little Boy moderately destroyed an area of 8 km, we use this to estimate the effect of an enhanced Godzilla explosion. Multiplying the blast radius by the amount of force produced, the potential radius increases to a staggering 7,168 km.

Implications and Terrifying Consequences

This means that 7,168 km of land would be devastated. To put this into perspective, this area is roughly equivalent to 78,390 American football fields. The consequences would be catastrophic, not only in terms of the immediate destruction but also the long-lasting effects such as radiation sickness and disrupted resource chains.

Conclusion

In conclusion, even a small fraction of the world would be irreparably damaged in a nuclear Godzilla explosion. The aftermath would include widespread radiation sickness, environmental degradation, and possibly even a disruption in global resources. This scenario highlights the dangerous juxtaposition of fiction and reality, emphasizing the importance of nuclear safety and disaster preparedness.
