Around 50 nukes have been lost across the world.

How did that happen?

During the Cold War, the US and the Soviets had ready-to-fire nuclear weapons loaded onto submarines and airplanes.

At one point, the US had 12 in the air at once.

And the more nukes on the move, the higher the chances of losing one.

Inevitably, over the years, nukes went missing mostly due to technical failures and careless mistakes.

And this could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Luckily, some have been found.

However, recovering them is a huge effort as thousands of square kilometers have to be searched.

These nuke hunts can go on for years and cost more than a moon mission, and there's no guarantee of success.

Today, the US alone is missing six nukes.

The detonation of just one could have catastrophic consequences.

There are multiple safety mechanisms designed to prevent this, but the best way to stop any of this from happening is to reduce the number of nukes altogether.

With a new nuclear arms race on the cards, these incidents would only get more likely.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
