New Armageddon weapons

'Military history teaches us an important lesson,' warns statistician Peter Lewis: 'If a particular weapon system is to be stopped, it needs to be stopped early. The further advanced a weapon system becomes, the more difficult is its suppression. Once a programme has been funded, jobs and careers become linked to it. Bureaucratic inertia takes over. The best time to tackle a weapon is almost before it has left the inventor's mind.'
In a paper, 'The Road from Armageddon', Lewis describes a number of horrifying possible future weapons, about which military speculation has already begun. Some are for the distant future and require assembly in outer space, for instance anti-matter bombs ('the force of the explosion would be equivalent to 43 MT per kilogram of anti-matter destroyed, an efficiency far in excess of uranium or any other nuclear explosive') or black hole bombs ('military theorists have started to speculate about the possibility of using small black holes as weapons, by cutting off their supply of fresh material electrically').

I saw this movie and I like it very much. Especially the end, when the USAF Lt-Col cow-boy is dropped with the H-bomb.

the backgroud music was pretty good 1 hr of ''when johnny comes marching home again"

Well you would think nukes and icbm's would be enough but of course we will not be satified till we can destory the universe and GOD him/her/it's self!

Off topic but...God cant be destroyed. Anyway how are they going to use "small" black holes as weapons? What they are willing to sacrifice themselves too?

of course god cant be destroyed becuse it is not real and i think small black hole bomobs should be produced.

Dr. Strangelove is my fav film and i think a few people that are a little gun ho (you know who you are) should sit down and watch it. You will have a great time and maybe learn somthing.

Ah the sin of pride. God or Gods depending on your belief system can be destroyed. I don't believe so in my world view it does not exist past present or future. On the off chance I am wrong, can you save me a seat around the fire?

Crafty weapon developers in the thread "Your ideas for weapons?" I suggest a singularity bomb looks like they beat me to it with there black hole bomb curse them

Anti-matter and black hole bombs? We hardly even know anything about what a black-hole actually does, and we are hoping to use it as a weapon?Crazy, crazy world...

The best new New Armageddon weapon would be a simple ,cheap and universally effective one that any country could make and use its called PEACE.

This film is also one of my all time favorites.

And I did learn something from it:

I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

How would a black hole bomb even work, wouldn't it take out the rest of the world as we know it?

Small blackholes "evaporate" fast.

Black holes? c'mon thats retarded.Currently the most promising millitary weapons consist of cannon and rifles(or a personal weapon of that nature) that use Light or sound for the method of destruction.The us millitary aready has a working sound cannon, and they are working to improve its ability for combat.Also of note are the sound "blasters" that are used for massive people damage,blowing thier eardrums, and at high amps "brain hemmoraging".The military is trying to "Clean" up thier killing methods.As radioactive land is useless.
