But then some thought the “A” Bomb would continue its energy release through out the world. So like those I am most likely wrong.
Enrico Fermi thought there was about a 10% chance the A bomb would ignite the nitrogen in the atmosphere....

Enrico Fermi thought there was about a 10% chance the A bomb would ignite the nitrogen in the atmosphere And, just prior to the Trinity test, he took wagers on his hunch from his fellow scientists. I find that sense of humor appealing in a scientist. :)
