Wired: spell checkingTired: fact checkingWired seems to be a junk science magazine, full of editorializing and postmodernism and ugly typography, but very short on real knowledge or insight.
you don't need a spherical shock wave for a uranium bomb. The original nuclear bomb, "little boy", was a gun style bomb meaning there were 2 pieces of uranium, one slightly less massive than critical and the second was fired like a bullet into the first causing the chain reaction and the boom.Ok so I didn't actually bother to read what type of bomb Wired was talking about but not all need the spherical shock wave.
