What is the use of red mercury?
The red name is a legacy from the cold war era
– a ballotechnic mercury substance that
happens to be red. The compound has mercury
antimony oxide believed to be a cherry red
semi-liquid made in Russia nuclear reactors.
According to reports, red mercury is composed
of uncertain substances reportedly used to
create atomic bombs as well as some unrelated
weapon machines. Most people consider it a
hoax, and there is no proof of the existence of
such a product.
