idk why you're fixated on 100 years, but stuff like nuclear weapons tech is 1940s-1960s technology and that's still classified.

> idk why you're fixated on 100 years

Because that was the number the person i was responding to gave.

In any case north korea has the bomb. I think the secret is out. The most difficult thing at this point is the engineering challenge not the book knowledge.

I was under the impression that information about how to build nukes was mostly well known by most countries, and it is just a matter of getting enough of the right type of uranium or whatever.
And will still be classified in 2045...
