Could a single bomb trigger a global apocalypse?
During the Cold War, scientists conceived a weapon so devastating it required no delivery system. This video explores Project Sundial, a doomsday concept designed to incinerate vast territories and plunge the entire planet into darkness.
At the height of the Cold War, the terrifying concept of Project Sundial emerged. Unlike traditional bombs that must be dropped on a target, this device was envisioned as a weapon so powerful it would not need to be deployed via aircraft or missile.
The scale of the destruction was unprecedented: the explosion would have left a 400-km radius in flames. Beyond the immediate heat, the resulting fallout threatened to shroud the world in darkness, effectively acting less like a conventional weapon and more like a planetary apocalypse.
