Watch that animation closely. Does it not remind you of something?

Who says we need tachyons for beam cannons? Strictly speaking, all we have to do is wait for the Large Hadron Collider to become operational in 2008, then direct its particle stream at something. Voila, beam cannon. Think it's not powerful enough to do damage? Think again:

the beam dump must absorb an energy equivalent to a typical air-dropped bomb

Whatever you may think of CERN (I personally think the whole organization is amazing. The work they do boggles the mind. Basically there is not one person on this forum who isn't affected by what they've done), they sure know how to build big

My physics teacher is one of the project heads there... He showed us some mind bogling stuff...quantum theroy...it's nuts

[Vasudan Commander]

quantum theory = the process of making science fiction into science fact.

[TrashMan]

Quantum theory = turning your brian into pudding.

And that's coming from me (aced physics by said profesor). Things just keep getting more and more complicated and, dare I say, unlogily logical in it's lack of logic!

I hear that !  *eats more brain beans*

[Mehrpack]

hi,
wasnt hawkings they had say: if anybody say he had understood the Quantum theory, he dont understood it. ???

i dont see a chance to use they for a partical energy weapon, they cannot interact with normal matter and they doesnt have a effect on it.

Fried your brain so bad you spell it "brian" now =P

[Vasudan Commander]

Now thats some serious brain-frying !   

serious though, quantam theory, relativity and the like can really do your head in. It makes you wonder at the genius of all those scientists and theorists who created all these ideas and scientific theories.

Well, it's not so much the actual theories that are confusing as the consequences of them.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

I have no clue what you people are talking about.

[TrashMan]

I dunno...the quantum theroy feels wrong to me..like there's something missing...it makes SOME sense but then again it makes far more nonsese...

Alltough the alternative theories aren't that better.. The theory of hte hidden variable might account for something, but it was 2"upposedly" proven wrong...And I looked at the so-called "proof" and went "What??? That makes no sense whatsoever"

Go figure...yeah..it's some wierd stuff..

[AlphaOne]

So bascicly much of the modern day thories start from beans that turn into fired bacon if you look at it the right way???

[Mars]

According to quantum theory there's a small chance I could fall through my floor at any moment.

It's definitely weird.

[Harbinger of DOOM]

*begins jumping on floor*

[jr2]

  Chances are even greater that, if you did start falling through the floor, you'd stop halfway, so don't worry... just wear a cup! XD

[AlphaOne]

Now that is scary stuff. Yo science dudes enough with all these theories.......youre scariyng me to death here!

[TrashMan]

Well, science is reaching the "practical" limit - as in, theories that you can actually see the effects of in nature, make tests and experiments and are "natural" to explain

The theories get more and more complex involving n dimensions, casualities and probablilites...and from there on it's insanityville..things that the human ming cannot REALLY graps or visualise...

[Ghostavo]

I'd be careful with such statements, they have been made before at the end of the 19th century/start of the 20th century by respected scientists.

[nubbles526]

That is no way a beam (animation), that is just like a blob firing from the turret (but it reminds me of TT and THT).

I promise you, so far our best attempts with beams is lasers. Anti-fighter beams looks like lasers.

It would take time before we have the Green/Vasudan pretty beams.
