Why America's giant bunker-busting bombs may have failed to reach their target, NPR, June 25

1. Of course. Mother nature's strength and immensity dwarf humans' silver bullets.

The energy of a bomb is intense in the atmosphere, but it is handily absorbed by rock strata. The power of a bunker buster wanes when it is absorbed by millions of cubic feet of rock near the surface.

Likewise, the scope and energy of an ocean storm dwarfs that of a nuclear bomb. Trump does not understand the basics of science. Grade school classes teach that there is more kinetic energy in a bathtub of tepid water than there is in a red-hot nail. The energy of a nuclear bomb detonated in an ocean storm (as Trump suggested) would be minuscule compared to the power of the storm which covers millions of square miles.
