Gamma Ray Bomb
Work is being done on a Gamma Ray Bomb. See:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/...018361,00.html How would a weapon like this compare to the current generation of nukes? Just curious. |

I'm no physicist but a claim like "Just one gram of the explosive would store more energy than 50kg of conventional TNT" Needs a lot of evidence and thus far I have seen none Keith |

It sounds bogus to me. It does indeed sound very strange, but at least it doesn't immediately appear to violate any basic law of physics (as opposed to some other claims of "superweapons" ;-) ). The whole concept sounds a bit like a laser, except that the "decay" happens in the nucleus and not the electron shell. Andreas |

appear to violate any basic law of physics (as opposed to some other claims of "superweapons" ;-) ). Every "superweapon" of 20th century violated basic laws of physics that were prevailing before Dec 14,1900. Next generation of superweapons will also surely violate basic laws of physics that we learned in 20th century. Orthodoxy in science was always a major problem. The whole concept sounds a bit like a laser, except that the "decay" happens in the nucleus and not the electron shell. Thats correct,but much more interestingly you can achive similar interactions if you place materia in a very intense EM field,which makes nuclear wepons very dangerous to store anywhere if you your opponent has EM weapons capable of recovering initial energy anywhere they want to. BTW new physics is accepts the non locality and zero point energy which apparently extremely well understood by pre 1945 German scientists. Besides of Penrose and Zeilingers works you may also want to check out works of Haisch,Puthoff and Rueda for more info. |
