778 viewsOtherPhysics

I’m assuming the science of making one is out there. Why then countries like Iran who so want to develop atomic weapons haven’t been able to do so?

Making one is not difficult

Obtaining the materials, building the facility, and testing part are the hard things

Once you try to build one, the US, Russia, Chinese, and other major power will have their eyes on you

What happen after will heavily depends on your relationship with those countries. You might be straight up invaded and having your government toppled
