It is 80 years since the first #nuclear weapon test – codenamed #Trinity – detonated above the desert in New Mexico. Today the hidden legacy of nuclear bomb tests can still be found in our cells – and is proving surprisingly useful to scientists.

It's in your teeth. Your eyes and your brain too. Scientists call it the "bomb spike" (or "bomb pulse") – and for more than half a century its signature has been present inside the human body.

Evidence of the pulse is so ubiquitous that it can, among many other insights, tell #forensic #scientists when a person was born (or died), provide discoveries about the age of #neurons in our brains, reveal the origin of poached wildlife, determine red wine vintage and even unlock the true age of centuries-old sharks

BBC · The atomic bomb marker inside your bodyBy Richard Fisher

80 years ago today the first #nuclear detonation on Earth happened—the Trinity shot in New Mexico.

Like all atmospheric nuclear detonations since then, it spread radioactive fallout over a wide area downwind from the explosion, creating a long-term health hazard for humans and other living beings. Here is a graphic of spread of the fallout cloud from #Trinity:

Vor 80 Jahren wurde der #Trinity-Test durchgeführt, die erste Explosion einer Nuklearwaffe jemals. Ein Team rund um Robert Oppenheimer entwickelte die Bombe, um durch den militärischen Einsatz den zweiten Weltkrieg zu beenden. Wochen nach dem Test wurde deshalb die zweite und dritte Atombombe über #Hiroshima und #Nagasaki abgeworfen. Sie töteten über 100.000 Menschen.

Doch was genau geschah am 16. Juli 1945 in der Wüste von New Mexico? Die Antwort gibt's hier:

"The dedication of a permanent sign that recognizes the sacrifice and suffering of the Downwinders of New Mexico will take place at 11 a.m. on July 16 at the Stallion Gate Entrance off of Highway 380 east of San Antonio, followed by Mass, a dinner reception and a candlelight vigil in Tularosa."

"The people of New Mexico have now been added to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act."

"The second event is the 46th anniversary of the Church Rock Uranium Tailings Spill on July 16th, 1979 on the Navajo Nation.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided under a shaded arbor."

El Defensor ChieftainDownwinders to be acknowledged at Trinity test site dedicationAfter decades of struggle and lives lost to radioactive fallout from the July 16, 1945, Trinity test in the Tularosa Basin, the impacted residents are finally receiving recognition.

A year ago, former #Oprah TV talk protégé, turned #MAGA minion, Dr. Phil was flying high amidst partnering with #Christian programming empire #Trinity Broadcasting and launching his own media #network... a year later, he's buried in #bankruptcy and blaming his former partners...

#Variety spills the tea at the link...

The jist of the tale is Phil MacGraw's on-air programming never found carriage on any major platforms like #Hulu , #Comcast or #YouTubeTV , and his #OverTheAir programming went from exclusives from the Professional #BullRiders & #NancyGrace to tired low rated reruns of old Dr. Phil episodes. Last year the Bull Riding Network pulled out abruptly, moved to the #Fox subscription platform and is now suing #DrPhil for failing to pay his #AltRight rights fees.

In fact, tone of the article documenting the multiple failings and fading popularity of Dr Phil make him sound like kinda beaten alpha male loser that would go on the Dr Phil show to talk about his many embarrassing #Texas sized probs to Dr Phil
