petrushkagoogol Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Was the alias "Fat Man" used to denote the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki justified (even before it was used) ? I say Yea. Here is the proof : * Fat means more adipose tissue for the same sex and height * This leads to more body weight * Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity * This implies that Fat is proportional to mass * More mass means more energy (From Einstein : E = mc^2) * More energy means more destructive power * This means a more destrucive weapon (than Little Boy) QED P.S. Thank God they did not call it "Corpulent Man", or some such. That would be slightly awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
