future weaponary

does anyone think that humans will ever have 'plasma lasers' and all kinds of sci-fi weapons that we see so much? what do ya'll think?

If these weapons are theoretically possible to build then yes humans one day will have them. It wont be anytime soon in the near future but one day it ill happen.

that is if we don't all kill ourselves with
Nukes...

We hardly know anything about plasma, its the "fourth" element in simple terms.
Nethier liquid nor gas but has bits of both.

sure why not any thing is possible

given enough time, even a monkey will recite shakespear

yes, but will the monkey understand what he is saying?

As already said, anything is possible, so maybe one day we will, but not in our lifetimes...

well, time travel is not possible ... going to the past nor the future right.... ???

give it a few years and you will see these

Thats an opinion....
"Nothing is impossible, only improbible"

But we are already in the past, present and the future all at the same time.

Actually were never in the present were always in the future because time is always moving forward there is no present just past and future.

Ah but are we?
The time we percieve as now is really the past and the future at the same time but we see it as the present or the time we exist in.
Its circles again!

O', we'll easily b using Plasma and Laser Weaponary. Not soon, but I even get how we could use Plasma.

Now, we have no material that can withstand plasma itself, but if we use 1 thing, we can: Magnetism.

I even heard of scientist doing an experiment with plasma, and they used magnetism 2 keep the plasma from touching the surrounding.

Now, I don't know how we would launch it though. But because of that, no problem with storing and moving it through the barrel.

Laser Weaponary, I think we're working on it. We can cut things with em, fix eye, and damage them, with all do respect, so soon, y not kill?

Interesting idea, a fwe questions though..
.How magnetic is plasma?
How do you deploy it?

I was watching a show and scientist I think were talking about using plasma to fuel futuristic Space probes for NASA. They would just have a cylinder tube lined with a strong magnet substance and it would create a force field that would push the plasma equally from all sides thus keeping the plasma from touching the sides. Don't ask me on the technical stuff but this is what I saw on a program a long time ago.

Please ignore my poor graphic capabilities.

Yeah thats what I thought might work as well....simple enough to fire, the range and efficiency would be the only factors worrying a person.

If by 'plasma laser', you mean a laser that consists of plasma striking a target in the way that a laser beam does, then you clearly don't understand what a laser is. A laser generates and amplifies light. The light itself may be generated by a plasma. In fact, many gas lasers operate in regimes that could be construed as a plasma. Search for discharge lasers.

Plasma is very common it is used it many cutting applications and smaller plasma cutter models can be bought at relatively low prices. The military has already built working gauss canons so surely with magnetic particle accelerators as powerful as they are plasma type weaponry may already exist. Since they have lasers capable of destrying ballistic missiles i think plasma weapons are surley soon to come. But i think plasma's most promising role will be in space propulsion.

thats intresting... how?

as for time travel, one would need an infiniate amount of energy (according to einstein) ...i wonder if plasma could suppy that...?

i saw your theory westpoint23, and i wondered if you think that nuclear waste could be stored like that...?

?????

Who were u talking 2?

If it was 2 me, no. I meant laser weapons and plasma weapons seperate, not combined like that.
