The Future of Nuclear Testing: Simulating Explosions in Cyberspace

The video discusses the prohibition of nuclear tests under the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and how simulations are now conducted in cyberspace using the ASCII White supercomputer. Built by IBM, this computer simulates nuclear explosions and is equivalent to 8000 desktops. It uses parallel processing and has applications like modeling fault lines. The video also highlights a future initiative aiming to create a computer capable of 100 trillion calculations per second.
