Israel, Japan and the U.S. would be most severely effected by EMP.
EMP is shorthand for a 100 kilo-ton nuclear explosion above the earth’s atmosphere that will generate an electromagnetic pulse for a few milli-seconds and destroy nearly all unshielded electronic circuits within several thousand miles.
Think about all electric circuits and all electronic circuits you use being totally destroyed. We would literally be bombed into the stone age. A disaster of inconceivable magnitude. EMP would have little effect on most third world societies.
What I don’t know, and haven’t found out on the Internet, is what systems we use are shielded from EMP. Are all computers, servers, cars, telephone, electrical and computer circuits vulnerable? Which aren’t? Will airplanes fall out of the sky (fly by manual wire is gone)? Could any work get done?
Does anyone of my readers have the answer?
