So /sci/, are Force Shields something plausible? Is it possible that they would exist in the future?

...I don't see why not.

If I was a scientist or Engineer, I could explain you about magnetism, gravity, light refraction and how impractical
would that be, and how only a scientist that was a mecha anime fanboy in his youth would research that
. But I'm not, so sorry

its called a plasma window

but it needs alot of power, 8 kW/cm

They are on it. I think that I somewhen saw a documentary film that they are experimenting force shields on spacecraft. It is a 'bubble' of charged plasma contained by a fine mesh of superconducting wire

Now we just need to discover Sakuradite!

in order to create a portable human size force field of about 3m^2 you will need 300 MW. seeing as most nuclear power plant produce about 800MW I think it is still a bit impractical for the next couple of years
