In this riveting episode of 'The Short Answer', presented by ScienceABC, we delve into the world of tornadoes and the cutting-edge research aimed at neutralizing these powerful natural disasters. Tornadoes are notorious for their destructive power, leaving trails of devastation in their wake. But what if we could stop them in their tracks? Could a large-scale explosion or rocket really dissipate a tornado? Join us as we explore the popular theories, the underlying science of tornado formation, and the potential risks and feasibility of using explosive methods to combat these whirlwinds. We’ll also take a look at innovative alternative solutions that might one day help us prevent tornadoes before they start. Tune in to discover the fascinating, and sometimes wild, ideas scientists are considering in the quest to control one of nature’s most formidable forces.
