Quick question:
My friend and I are having problems on how explosions work.
According to him, in a explosion smaller objects don't receive the full force of the blast since they only encompass a small fraction of the blast radius.
So basically let's say if I'm in the path of a grenade...
I think my understanding of "gravitational binding energy" has gone up a notch, thanks by the way.
So correct me if I''m wrong, but basically you need to overcome the gravitational force(gravitational binding energy) that's holding the sun together. With a force greater than and maybe bigger...
I came to the same hypothesis as well. Basically there wouldn't be much interaction between the sun and the laser, at least that's what I think. I just needed the extra nudge of confirmation on this, he uses so much unfamiliar terms on us, that we just kind of let it pass, but this just doesn't...
Basically he's saying an ubberly high powered laser, charged with enough energy that rivals or surpasses the suns gravitational binding. He's stating that just by shooting the beam at the sun, the laser's energy would add to the suns, disrupting the gravitational binding and cause the sun to go...
By beam of laser, he basically means a highly powered laser and I have somewhat come to the same conclusion, but my friend keeps on insisting about this gravitational binding thing. Which is a topic I've never come across, been reading about it though.
Anyway thanks.
Hello, New here, hoping to get some answers...
So here's my dilemma, me and my friend are having this debate. He claims that a beam of energy, of any size, even smaller than an ant, should be enough to destroy the sun. His theory is that, if the beam carries enough energy to rival the...
