/sci/ - Science & Math

I imagine it would be a naval paradigm. You'd detect ships hundreds of quadrillions of kilometres away and act then to destroy them. Think pulling stars around and then collapsing them into supernovae when an enemy is spotted. Think bombs that can destroy entire star systems. Think about arrays of stars defending Earth, ready to rape intruders. I imagine we would tow black holes around our area of the universe, and then gravitationally throw them at those who would seek to disturb us. I imagine ships several hundred billion tonnes in weight, full of anti-matter, ready to demolish enemy star systems and galaxies. Perhaps in the far future even folding the universe around on enemy galaxy clusters and making that their tomb. Intergalactic war with humans would be a death sentence. We will rule this universe.

Can a ICBM attack be really stopped with today military technology?

Are anti-ballistic systems really effective or is the world already doomed in the moment the nuclear warfare starts?

What is preventing this topic from bumping?

nuclear weapons in volcanos

it would precipitate another ice age cause all that shit would block the sun for a couple years

/sci/ what the fuck am i reading?

The Global Warming Policy Foundation said the study demonstrated that man-made carbon dioxide emissions were preventing a "global disaster".
The think tank, set up by Lord Lawson, cited a controversial theory proposed by Sir Fred Hoyle and Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe in 1999 which said we "must look to a sustained greenhouse effect to maintain the present advantageous world climate."

If we're overdue for an ice age, how can these climate scientists be so sure it will be another 1500 years? could it be possible they don't understand the transformation mechanism?

The flamingo, or a euphemism for female genitalia, derives from the Greek φοίνικοπτερος meaning phoenix wing

In other news, "he deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from the intrinsic blue color of water, itself the result of water's selective absorption of red wavelengths of visible light. Though this effect is responsible for making all large bodies of water blue, it is particularly intense in Grand Prismatic Spring because of the high purity and depth of the water in the middle of the spring."

I'm bored /sci/. waiting for the markets to open. what do?

You guys need to be more optimistic about humanity. We survived 40 years of a cold war and managed not to nuke ourselves, that was the first test of civilization. The next is solving our energy problems. Fusion will do this. Once energy is more or less free, there's really not much left to fight about. And interstellar travel becomes viable within a few generations. Once we're off this rock, we're basically immune to extinction with a bit of luck.

Yeah there's a star that could go supernova any moment 150 light years away, but that might not happen for a few million years. It would take no less than a thousand or so years to be firmly established in our nearby stellar neighborhood.

So chill out bros, or post stuff that will end civilization.

I saw on a /sci/ link that the observable universe is to the universe, as an atom is to the observable universe. Then I watched a Hawking doco that said they calculated the minimum size of the universe is atleast 2 and a half times larger than the observable. Both were modern documentaries (made this year).

So which one is it?

>orbital bombardment
FUCK YEAH MIRV
