Well, I was searching to see if this was already made, but the searches didn't show a thread with my idea so here it is. I am making this thread so we can have a typical tavern discussion thread for all things science! Basically, a thread for everything science! Ranging from discussions about laws and theories, scientific debate, breakthroughs, discussion about new scientific breakthroughs, certain scientists/philosophers, and all that good stuff! So go out there and let out your inner science! ;P To get us going somewhere I'll start: what do you think the future holds for technology? I think our knowledge will allow us to overcome the obstacles thrown at us in the future, I mean, we have discovered so much and have come so far!
I speak of a bomb that, when detonated, releases enegy/radiation that has just the right qualities that it causes the neurons of the brain, when struck, to disintigrate/violently explode, thus causing an instant, painless death, and, furthermore, would leave no residual radiation nor damage to the area in which the bomb was used.
Hmmm. I think it would be hard to get the radiation to instantly destroy all the neurons at the same time. I think it would be random or in the order that the neurons were hit. if it was still able to send out a large enough radiation to destroy the neurons too quick enough we could reduce pain to a 1-2 second migrain. Question, does the radiation affect you fast or slowly.
Then i think with a big enough bomb you easily kill hundreads at a time. If it can affect populations such as wide as cites, millions. It would probably be the worlds new super weapon and hopefully there won't be drills on how to surive this one too.
It doesn't use blast energy, radioactive material, heat or anything else to achieve it's destruction, just the resonance of the explosion, in order to enact its slaughter.
