nootropics. Have you ever talked to someone 20-30 IQ points ahead of you? While they still think you are as smart as them, that is. Because they are good at not making themselves outlandish or 'weird' when they need to.

There is already a force-field technology. Anyone can use it.
But most people are retard afraid it is dangerous because governments, corporations and such tell them so.

Nuclear Bombs can propel spaceships to Jupiter and back in 6 months. (Project Orion)
Nuclear Bombs can stop asteroids.
Nuclear Bombs can provide any electricity you want. (Project PACER)
Nuclear Bombs can provide infinite underground living and working space protected from most dangers even against Nuclear Bombs. (Project Gnome)

Probably a normal looking nuclear detonation the size of the combined nuclear devices. Less damage than if it was spread out but more powerful than a single bomb.
The 4 fireballs would combine into a single one in less than 1/10th of a second and it would be pretty much the same as a single device fireball in terms of effects.
Only during those first miliseconds would it be any different, nothing amounting to any effect after the blast.

Yes you can put human DNA into bacteria, thats where pharmaceutical human insulin comes from. But THC probably involves many genes, each transcribing an enzyme in the THC metabolic cycle.

Why TNT , Nitroglycerine or NH4NH3 like explosives are unstable while N-O , N-C bonds are very strong ?

Greetings /sci/, allow me to start off thus: I am not a physicist, I am not even a physics student. I am not even a student of any particular hard science, though I do dabble with various journals and a general interest.

In a game I am planning on running, the main villains are going to be using a terror weapon, pic related. They are going to be detonating a spread of eight 500 Kiloton nuclear devices in a roughly octogonical pattern, with a very, very slight time delay around the target, allowing the blast waves to reflect off of and redirect each other in roughly a circle around said target (the interior of the target area is going to be less then a mile). The idea is to cause a huge, cyclonic blast wave intermixing the fireballs of each detonation in basically a mile wide nuclear tornado.

What kind of forces within the target area would this actually unleash? I am aware that overlapping blast waves tend to create an increasingly more intense bow-wave of sorts, but the math of this is unfortunately beyond me.
