I make no claims about what is GOING TO EXIST ONE DAY as I, other than most ATS'ers, don't deal in prophecy making.
I find it probable that one day such technology could exist, I see no reason why it categorally can't
All I'm saying is I haven't seen compelling evidence of it existing contemporarily.
As you acknowledge in your post, it wouldn't be crazy for a supranational body to make treaties about things that aren't existing right now.
Following the logic of other posters I could say global warming exists - they made a treaty against it so it must be real, right?
That's just junk science. The same people who scream SCAM about AGW suddenly see treaties as some kind of definite proof. Treaties are not proof of anything; certainly not when they use the conditional tense.
Global warming is a hoax.
It's just not the hoax all the deniers think it is.
These technologies we discuss are the makings of Global climate change.
Treaties are proof of a thousand things. Everything is proof of something. That treaty is IN FACT PROOF of the true possibility (regardless of how contemporary the technology is) and also of INTENT.
Any word used in the conditional sense requires the words "if" and/or "when" generally. As Tesla's fan has shown, the treaty uses the word "when". This implies explicitly that not only does the technology certainly exist in some form, but also that the military is the ONLY ENTITY THAT WILL USE IT. Or that they will be definitely the first ones to use it.
Possibility is much more important than What has already manifest.
Understanding the possibilities IS the way to prophesy. Anyone who relies only on what has manifest already is someone who will be caught in their underwear brushing their teeth instead of paying attention.


3 day on ATS and you know all the Threads on Scalar Weapons?
