The Nuclear Decay

Nuclear tests have been conducted from July 1945. Trinity was the first fission device test, first plutonium implosion detonation in the United States. Since then we have seen a series of tests globally with more than nine countries conducting them. The latest one was conducted by North Korea in May 2009. This was the first successful fission device tested by the country.

Nuclear threats are a reality and a cause of concern for the global community. But is this more a factor of free will and arms race? Or are there intricate time patterns between peace and war that dictate the social mood and the events that result from that social behavior?

Patterns of time decay can be seen in this social phenomenon too. Power law practitioners may illustrate that the rule should hold in the number of tests and it does as the decay in Yield suggests. However, why does the same Pareto curve rule hold when we plot the number of days between nuclear tests? There should be something that the practitioners are missing here?

Time is a social construct and we see time through the life and nature around us. Understanding time can not only give a unifying theory to research of a few thousand years, but also help us understand the world we live in. Time evolves, oscillates and continues. Time comes before everything, but we don’t see it. We just feel it. We believe what we see and this is why understanding what is not visible is a challenge.

Nuclear tests are not a creation of autocratic leadership, it’s a result of the changing time, which causes a need to break walls and sometimes build them back.
