Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar The Python Cartel. The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.09 01:44:00 - [1] Took about a century from the discovery of atoms to the development of atomic weapons, reckon these antimatter bombs you speak of are at least a century away. Meaning we won't have to deal with them Originally by: Xenuria I don't need a LICENSE to take a photoshooped image and lay it on top of the game client and make pretend my character is naked.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar The Python Cartel. The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.09 03:34:00 - [2] Originally by: Culmen Actually I just realized. Antimatter bombs are a tremendously GOOD thing. I currently doubt we'll be able to produce a kilo/megaton range anti-matter charge alone. What we can do however, is use an anti-matter explosion to initiate deuterium fusion. Basically, you'll have a regular nuclear explosion with none of the fall out. Why is this a good thing? PROJECT MOTHERFCKING ORION! With an anti-matter catalyzed nuke, you remove the biggest drawback from using nukes to send stuff into space. We could launch an ISS Sized payload fully assembled with room left over to refuel a few shuttles. We could get a manned mission to mars, maybe even to titan or io. We could launch an orbital solar power station and solve the energy crisis. This is pretty awesome. The fallout is what makes it a good weapon, where do you think a majority of the casualties come from? Just like CCP Fallout makes threads better Originally by:* Xenuria I don't need a LICENSE to take a photoshooped image and lay it on top of the game client and make pretend my character is naked.

Now that is wishful thinking. You only need to look at the US military budget to realize that what you just said is nothing but wishful thinking. No, its not wishful thinking. At the moment, the price tag on antimatter is so unbelievable high, that producing enough to make a bomb out of it would just cost too much, plain and simple. You can tote the US military budget all you want, but the price of making enough antimatter to do this would be much more than the US military could afford. This is something that won't change any time soon, like within the next 50-100 years. And even if someone could afford to produce enough, antimatter isn't just something you put in a hole and expect to stay there until you need it. Wherever the US government decided to have the antimatter containment bay in the country, it would need constant electricity to supply the magnets and electric fields that suspend it, and even then there would be a constant need for production since, no matter how strong the magnet or electric fields are, some of it will escape and annihilate at a non-zero rate, and it will deplete over time. Not to mention that if even a microsecond of a slip-up happened and the electric fields and magnets lost the juice, it would explode, and like I said earlier, this would NOT be just the size of a thermonuclear warhead we have today, it would be much MUCH bigger. So no, its not wishful thinking. And you would have to know how magnets work, which nobody does!

Magnets make charged stuff go in circles. As to how they do that, I have no clue, but it's the effect that's important If thou knoweth about charged stuff perhaps thou art a witch!
