What happens if New York gets nuked? Scientists simulate 20 MILLION people in massive computer system to see how state would respond to a nuclear attack
- Scientists at Virginia's George Mason University are running the 3-5-year study
- Their simulation puts up to 20 million 'agents' in a simulated New York
- Each one has family members, needs, jobs, and personal reactions to events
- Their reactions will be modeled over 30 virtual days, in 5-15-minute 'steps'
- Some may try to reach loved ones, while others will help injured strangers
- Researchers are using personal testimonies of disaster survivors to make agents
- By the end it should take a bank of computers two days to run the full simulation
