WHAT IF... SERIES: BY NARRATOR 1. To Read More Click Below! In the year 1945 World War ll was coming to an end, thanks to the Manhattan Project, and the introduction to the world's most feared weapon, the Nuclear Bomb. It was capable of wiping out the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 80,000 of the Japanese inhabitants. The Nuclear Bomb cost approximately $85,000,000, and took 3 years to make. Why does this matter you ask, well, it doesn't unless you are planning global domination or, planning to colonize Mars.
That's right, though it seems decades away we actually have the technology to do so. I present to you, Dark Matter. A single gram of dark matter has the power of a nuclear bomb, a single gram that's incredible. There is no rival to this at the moment and it's only setback is its outlandish cost of about one million trillion dollars per ounce. A theory has suggested [the idea of] nuking mars to create an atmosphere for it, therefore making it hospitable. Nuking Mars is a bad idea. Its outcome will be great and good but the radiation from all the nukes will be devastating. Imagine, you are going to need a lot of nukes to create an atmosphere that big. The Radiation could take a century or more to pass and if the radiation somehow gets to the water/ice below then it will all be for nothing. However, dark matter will have the same power but no radiation which means all we have to do is wait for the atmosphere to form. However, the problem with that is it will probably cost quadrillions of dollars. No one country has that amount, the entire world will have to work together to develop the resources, money, and the technology to accomplish such a task. This is a race we can only win together. For no one country, no matter how great, can win alone. What do you think, Should we go with this theory? Thank you for reading StudentsWeekly. I am Narrator 1, have a good day.

WHAT IF... SERIES: BY NARRATOR 1. To Read More Click Below! So, I've decided that I will make a series about certain "what if" scenarios. I might make 3-5 depending on if anyone sees this (which may or may not happen). So anyway let's get on with it. So, what does the Moon even do? The Moon helps stabilize our climate, it causes our tides, and also stabilizes our Earth's wobble. The Moon is currently 398,791 km away( or 247,797 ml for us Americans). The closer the moon is the higher the tides are but that also means that tides get lower. It's a bit confusing and it's better with a picture, so here. As you can see the tides are deeply affected by the Moon. The closer the moon is the higher the tides on the closest face of the Earth will be, and the face that is parallel will also experience higher tides. So while those two sides experience high tides the other two sides will become drier and hotter. The ocean regulates the temperature on the Earth. That is why Canada is cold, but southern Britain has hotter temperatures even though they're roughly on the same angle of Earth.
So let's say the Moon moves 150,000 km closer while it's facing the U.K. and on the other side, the eastern coast of Russia. What will happen depends on how fast the Moon moves towards Earth and how close it moves. In this Scenario it moves 150,000 km in the blink of an eye (that's impossible but that's okay because this is completely hypothetical). So here is what might happen, and keep in mind I am a Narrator, not a scientist so this probably is not 100% accurate. Britain's coastal cities will be flooded. That includes Polperro, Lindisfarne, Hampshire, the entire island will be flooded. The east coast of Ireland, the northern coasts of Germany, France, and Spain (Spain will probably get a big tides but nothing compared to the rest.) The west coasts of Norway, Denmark and Sweden will be affected as well. The southern coast of Iceland will be affected as well. The British Isle will shrink tremendously and the Russians and Alaska aren’t looking too good either. Russia's east coast and Alaska's west coast will also be flooded. Oh and lets not forget the ones that get lower tides like Antarctica, Greenland and Canada. The Moon moves 3.8 centimeters away each year, this means 12 feet every century, that means 1 mile every 44,000 years and THAT means 150,000 miles every 6,600,000,000 years. Thanks for reading.
