I know most of you have had thoughts about them occasionally, but today I had a couple of serious conversations about theoretical scenarios, and lord above was it fun!

Me and my dad discussed a kind of super nuclear bomb that would to the same thing as the Mollecular Detachment Device featured in Ender's game, but actually got into the type of energy it would require (such as an energy wave that would somehow detach the mollecules WITHOUT absorbing too much of the energy from the initial energy wave, possibly adding it's own energy), then I started thinking about light. The way it's been explained to me, when matter approaches light speed, if it's possible, it actually BECOMES light. So what would happen if you found conditions where you can accelerate matter past lightspeed and launched a great big ball of it at a planet, hmm? The kinetic energy might transfer to the planet, shooting a bunch of the planet's matter off as light!

And of course, the Hadron Collider is a nice example of a doomsday device in the making. Honestly, a black hole beneath earth's surface? I don't care if you've got a vaccuum, I don't care if you've got an electro magnetic field holding all matter away from it, black holes are little-understood anomalies that just might not obey the standard laws of physics. All it'd take is one screw up and we can kiss the rapidly-compacting earth goodbye!


PS No, I do not feel 'zesty' about the thought of planetary anhilation, but I don't care enough to expiriment with the moods till I find something like 'surprised'.
