a question write us by going to our website at www dot com slash science if we showcase your query on the shows you we see the d.v.d. explaining albert einstein s most important theories in a fun and entertaining way. the most important thing is to never stop asking questions. in civilizations are built unreliable transport systems from huge construction transposes to heavy duty trucks to cars there s a huge range of delivery vehicles out there for practically any eventuality. but sometimes something even smaller is needed like when you want to deliver a package into the human body at that scientist is working on the problem of miniaturization. two wheels rule in the dutch city of groningen. but right now i m more
capability but also the miniaturization to put a warhead with that kind of a weapon on a missile? chris, i can always in our intelligence community has been doing an amazing job on this and on other issues. i obviously cannot describe or discuss some of the classified things that you have asked me. but i canceled the intelligence community has done an incredible job. chris: president trump and john roberts reported this putting out a tweet facing north koreans only understand one thing. i wonder in your conversation with the president that he explain what that one thing is and the president has been talking about wanting north korea not to reach a tipping point which would unleash the fire and fury of the us. are we getting closer to that tipping point? well chris, i was a the president has made it clear. this is not the time for talk it is time for action. that this type of behavior is not acceptable and our objective has been and will

bomb they still have to prove miniaturization, and re-entry on an icbm on an intercontinental ballistic missile, but the fact is the explosive nature of this kind of blast is so big that they need a much smaller, rather much less of a lift. they can put this kind of a warhead on a missile and have a much more explosive effect. so they don t have to miniaturize as much as they ordinarily would. it feels as if, to use a metaphor here, that kim jong-un has put his foot on the accelerator when it comes to the nuclear program. let me put up these statistics. these are missile tests. his father, kim jong-il conducted 16 missile tests in his entire reign. kim jong-un has done 84. he s done 18 missile tests just since president trump was inaugurated and more than his father just in the six-month period. ron in his report from seoul alluded that the north koreans are paying attention to the president s political standing.
this morning. first your reaction to this latest test. well, this definitely raises the stakes. the north koreans have indicated they been working on miniaturization for some time. i think that aspect of it is not quite as big a surprise as may be mentioned at the top. but there s no question this is a very serious and growing crisis. basically north korea is trying to preempt the u.s. preemption options and as a result they ve actually been speeding up in terms of trying to sprint towards having a capability that would be sufficient to threaten the united states. abby: what is north korea wanting? do they really want to go to war with the u.s. and the west? we know how that would send for them. what is their ultimate goal here? the ultimate goal is kim jong
