There was a site or forum "nukelies" that claimed they didn't
said alleged nuke bombs are carpet bomb aftermaths, measurable radiation is due to natural causes, and nuke power is something like coal plants being passed off as nuke power
a flat earther link on subject: http://www.atlanteanconspiracy.com/2015/02/nuclear-weapons-do-not-exist.html?m=1
I know it's possibly an unpopular opinion but nuke plants seem insecure and theoretically generate toxic waste so I've always not liked the idea and don't have any direct experience of nuke bombs so nuclear basically has no place in my life
like there was just recent concern over the top ukrainian nuke power plant melting down which to me was a perfect example of how insecure these things supposedly are
that being said can anyone prove nuclear bombs or power exists?
relevant as there's talk of nuclear war but if nukes don't exist then that changes what kind of war it is we would anticipate

Does Elon Musk exist ? Its all hired actors, makeup and deepfakes really
See the dangers of questioning everything ? Some things are just not possible to prove locally. Are you going to find a nuke and detonate it to prove it exists ?
If you are going to be suspicious of assumed truths in the 'matrix', there should be a reason to suspect it. Extraordinary claims -> extraordinary evidence.

some have argued elon is just an actor anyway so that's a different topic
then this is kind of problem of knowledge in general, there is much less that we truly know and a lot of "knowledge" is "just trust me bro" tier
I guess maybe I could find some science that explains how it works theoretically to then conclude that it can practically exist

In the sense we all are actors. I find him refreshingly candid
Ultimately its a problem of 'perception'. ANY question will boil down to "How much of what you sense do you believe is real"
Do atoms exist ? Seen one in a AFM/e-microscope ? How can you be sure your eyes see the atom in the microscope correctly ? Do eyes work like in a biology textbook ? Boiling down, all problems are Mathematics. The most fundamental math truth is 1 + 1 = 2. Why is this true ? Is it true ALL the time ? Isn't it based on your 'perception' that 1 and 1 should be 2 ? We have to believe what we 'perceive' is true and build empirical laws, and theories on top.
TLDR: Every thing you know is based on assumptions. You can consider some assumptions stronger than others, but there is no 'objective truth'
