Well, I was just thinking explosions that would do to Earth what -that thing the martian had in those old looney toons- did to planet x. Maybe a little smaller but still taking away the overall spherical shape of the planet.

Isn't it weird that Bridget is a guy?

So whats the specs on this warhead?


Cobalt-60 (What isotope of Cobalt created by a fusion reaction -- such as when Cobalt is used in the shell of a nuclear weapon) is a dangerous emitter of Gamma rays for up to 5 years. Gamma rays, of course, being one of the most high energy wavess known to man. The resulting fallout, as you might imagine, is lethal for far longer than conventional nuclear weaponry, and the initial explosive force is increased as well.

Don't mess with gamma rays if you can avoid it.

Doing that would cause us to be thrown off our orbital path and after that we'd die anyway. Too far from the sun we freeze to death, too close we burn. It just so happens that we are juuust right in the scheme of things... at least thats what ive read.

Eh, we'd adapt.....at least for a little while anyway.

Do me a little favor. 1) I want you to look up how many cubic feet of dirt and rock there are in 1 cubic mile of the Earth.

Got that?

2) Now, realize how little a cubic mile of destruction would effect the Earth.

3) Next, estimate how many cubic miles of destruction it would take to change the spherical shape of the planet.

4) Multiply that by escape velocity.

5) Convert that number into your favorite measurement of energy.

6) Gape.

7) Feel free to look up the approximate explosive force of our largest nuclear weapon.

cool Try to imagine how many nuclear weapons it would take to meet that number.

9) Ask yourself, if Humans had a weapon like that, if we would still be alive.

10) ???

11) Profit.

Hows that for natural selection.

Astral 1: Huh? It emits gamma rays for 5 years- that's not longer than the nuclear fallout we sort of deal with now is it?
... I think you left out too many details when you translated it for us lay-people.

Chidugi 1: Ya, I was being silly. We aren't going to make something like that until we at least have another planet to use it on/escape to.

Banshi: Most adaptation is done between generations in a slowly changing environment. This sort of thing would be an apocalypse scenario and the only things that get to adapt after one of those are a few organisms that manage to survive and then fill up all of the empty left by wat is now probably ashes. Maybe it would be cockroaches and ants, maybe just those thermal vent bacteria.

Astral 2:
1) 27828400
2) Not very much unless that mile contained my house. Then it would be a terrible disaster and everyone would be sad. Then locusts would block out the sun around what little was left of the planet.
3) Well, the Earth's radius is roughly 6.37*10^6 (meters) and the volume of a sphere is (4/3) pi r ^ 3 so the Earth has about 1.899*10^22 cubic meters of stuff from the ground down. So in feet that's about 62,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 cubic feet (with actual zeros for people who dislike scientific notation.) So for miles we divide by the answer in row 1 leaving us with 2.23*10^15 cubic miles. I'd expect 1/4th of that to significantly deface the planet.
4) Well, technically any constant velocity will eventually get you off of the planet but since everything here has an initial force of the explosion and is then in free fall with only gravity to act against it. (Run: translater. Result: I don't have escape velocity on hand.)
5) In this case I'll use the non standard fuu unit. 1 fuu.
6) HOLY CRAP!
... ok.
7) I'll pass for now.
cool Our uranium refining capability probably doesn't allow for that many.
9) Of course not. We'd have to at least have some sort of space colony before people with that kind of money would considder building one of those. Well, maybe a planetary-suicide cult could gain control or something... but if we had something like that then no. We would not be alive at this time, it would probably only be a moderate number of days before someone used it.
10) For this step I actually only have to multiply the rectangle by purple and take the papaya root... but my calculator can't handle that.
11) So you're saying that the death of humans is profittable? Well, I can't really argue against that but it seems to go against the goals of the MSU and shadowgovernment.
...
Oh, that's why we don't have anything like that.

Chidugi 2: This whole evolution thing is another one of those loops leading back to where we began. (That being no life.) Natural selection sucks. facilitated selection is superior by quite alot but we need someone/thing from outside of the process to take the lead. Sadly current philosophy points towards the left alone by god view.

The length of the fallout is less important than the type of fall out. The keywords there were "Gamma Rays" and not "5 years."

all of that of course doesn't matter when you weigh in the tensile strength of 6 inches of foam rubber coupled with a half inch of packing peanuts, and a completely unbroken circle of candy corn. If we were to protect every structure in the world with this excat combination of elements, then all structures would become totally indestructable.

You guys have way too much free time to think this stuff up.
