| Summary | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Harnessing the explosive matter-antimatter reaction will allow us to create devastating missile weapons. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Within a spaceship, the gamma rays generated by antimatter reactions are wildly undesirable. Within a weapon, it is the opposite - the violent explosion caused by matter/antimatter collision will damage armor, while the radiation will further harm any life form within it. As always with antimatter, however, the thorniest problem to solve is ensuring it only mixes with corresponding matter when we want it to - the destruction from an antimatter bomb or torpedo inadvertently detonated while in a ship's ammunition stores would be catastrophic. It is precisely this destructive potential we wish to harness - even without the gamma side-effects - as the self-annihilation caused by matter/antimatter reactions is such that mixing a mere half-gram of each releases 40 percent more energy than did the first atomic bomb. Of course, we will be using far more than half a gram for our forthcoming weapons: By suspending hydrogen and antihydrogen particles within an empty vacuum, constrained by a magnetic bottle, our scientists believe the risks are sufficiently mitigated to permit the production of antimatter-based explosives. This will herald a new era of cosmic warfare. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| "One dollar. That's what Paul Tibbets' mother paid for him to look inside an airplane at a local fair. Decades later, he flew the plane that killed 70,000 in Hiroshima. He named it Enola Gay, after his mother. All because of that one dollar."
