    The proper application of excessive force. Lasers so powerful that random interactions with scattered hydrogen atoms make them visible and the mass of photons becomes a destructive force. Then high velocity projectiles for whatever was left.

    You can't see lasers in space. But, what if they are so powerful as to make the rare atoms and dust glow bright blue, enough to look as a beam ? They don't cause explosions. But, what if they actually vaporize the target so fast that the released plasma then cause an explosion ?
    OK, now that they try to evade our laser, let throw some rocks... At relativistic velocity.

    • @Zante_on_google
      @Zante_on_google 4 місяці тому +9

      Well... lasers don't make explosions, supposedly, but heat up the target with the energy transferred. Heat it up enough and combustion will start. An explosion is simply a VERY fast combustion.

    Remonds me of that space combat game with mpstly realistic physics, Railguns are basically throwing 2mm flecks of metal at high speed.. and hifh rate. Juat create a clpud of hypervelocity impacts and wear down even the tpughest of armors.
    Fyi, due to physics reflective = brittle, so long as you overcome the surface tension it will crack, flake and shatter with enough impacts.

      I'm reminded of Homeworld by Harry Harrison (I think) the rebel fleet jumps in system and engages the other human fleet from far beyond visual sight. The super authoritarian defending fleet had all kinds of sophisticated seeker missiles and point weapons. The rebels hand coil guns (magnetic kinetic cannon) and for point defense they had batteries of pistol caliber rocket batteries. The defending fleet had all of its sophisticated missiles swept aside by the rocket guns. Then the rail slugs hit. They had no trouble taking earth besides avoiding the debris field from the enemy fleet. Because they pretty much got shredded.

    enough photons and its lees a wave length and more a solid thing only visible in one direction , just like with kinetics.. excellent to rob offensive stuff of its energy and if you pack enough energy in its motions splendid hammers to supress foes into cracking , or to finish a wounded foe by delivering a heap of matter into a tight space with no place for all its kinetic energy to go ^^

    I honestly was expecting a Casaba Howitzer and coherent particle acceleration to direct the explosive force to follow the hyper velocity pellet that was just launched.
    Honestly surprised that we haven't seen many kinetic missiles of semi homing rounds fired from rail tubes, possibly with the special ammo filled with coolant that expands and is blown out as a rocket to cool the shell and absorb heat from the barrel lol. Getting missiles to mach 7+ before they even leave the ship to have them home in as they arrive at some fraction of C would be nice lol
