Introducing the Quantum Bomb: A Scalable WMD

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of a "Quantum Bomb," proposed as a scalable weapon of mass destruction utilizing a 1000 Kg Bose-Einstein condensate, potentially leading to massive explosions through a warming process. Participants express strong opposition to the idea, emphasizing the ethical responsibility of scientists to promote beneficial technologies rather than destructive ones. Theoretical discussions touch on the scientific principles behind Bose-Einstein condensates and their potential energy dynamics, with skepticism about the feasibility of such a weapon. Concerns are raised about the implications of weaponizing scientific advancements and the historical context of scientific inventions being misused. Overall, the thread highlights a tension between scientific exploration and ethical considerations in weapon development.

i didn't mean to make you upset, i guess i just thought that if a rotating condensate could absorb light, then if the condensate broke down that light would have to be released due to conservation of energy.

i don't know, that's why i was asking.

A better question if I may? is:Is there an absorbtion limit in certain B-E-C's?

When parametric downconverted light is constrained within certain condensates, does the fact that this 'Light-Slowed' to a minimum speed, enable the condensate to be used to accumilate vast 'reservoirs' of Energy, which can be released according to E=mc2 ?

Thus the great swathe of energy to be released can be of a destructive nature according to what is allready known, except a small amount of Mass, exchanges to a LARGE amount of Energy at a constant speed, the INPUT speed (1mtr per second say?) would be constrained by the Large amount of Energy Needed to be equivilent in this case.

QUANTUM INEFFICIANCY WAVES?...there is a high probability that the constrained Energy will evolve at a far..far off location.
