“Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons all around the world. Even though no nuclear wars have broken out since the 1940s it doesn’t mean the spread of nuclear weapons have stopped. The threat of nuclear breakout is always present nowadays with wars being able to break out at any time and nuclear weapons being held by many main powers. I made a worm’s eye view perspective piece of a city that has a sort of 3d glitch effect. I used an effect to represent things that happen because of the use of nuclear weapons. I believe that nuclear physics and nuclear technology is very important. When the first bomb was made it was a breakthrough for all of science. The use of nuclear energy can help protect air quality and produce a large amount of power with no carbon being admitted into the atmosphere. However, Nuclear proliferation is specifically the spread of weapons and not technology and the use of nuclear power. As I said before it is quite scary. I wish for war to never break out and we hope that no more blood will be shed and no more lives will be taken just for the government to make a point or stop a disagreement.”
