Abstract

Nuclear bombs, such as hydrogen bombs, are extremely dangerous and are a threat to humanity. We consider a situation where hydrogen bombs explode, and all the water in the ocean absorbs the energy. We calculate that at least 8.6 × 1011 hydrogen bombs would be needed to vaporise all of the water in the ocean at once.
