1638648493802950656 | How do historians begin reading about a culture or civilization they have never heard of before? (#Twitterstorians often love exploring new #history they haven’t encountered before. Get some advice from @wellerstein on how to learn about new fields.) https://t.co/gg54wnzSk6 | 1 |
1640647489907830785 | Such height of burst is ideal for a 4 kt yield, according to Nukemap (by @wellerstein). And given that maximum kinetic effect is the goal. That is about the same yield as the 2009 test. And what the DPRK allegedly aimed for in the first test in 2006. https://t.co/p3Ao0FruML | 0 |
1639696650632327172 | Were the scientists used in early development of nuclear bombs expressly told the plans? (Who’s in the know? We turn to @wellerstein to find out who has clearance!) #Twitterstorians https://t.co/8ZppuqToPn | 0 |
1639334262733242368 | Drop a #history bombshell with @wellerstein ‘s answer that examines how realistic discussion & planning was to use nukes during Vietnam, and how the tone of talk shifted during different administrations. #Twitterstorians https://t.co/dX3MoZn5F0 | 0 |
