One of the most beautiful pieces of batshit Cold War ideas I’ve read in a while (just 4 Tweets)

Only the military could get a solution created that saved the country from nuclear death while at the same time irradiating and removing one of its largest sources of water.

so many theoretical plans of old are or you would expect to be adorably quaint and old-fashioned, horse and cart stuff compared to modern science/tech

this is on its way to Dyson Sphere levels of absurdity

I mean my feeling from reading this is that they simply weren’t allowed to respond to, “Could we power a particle beam to wipe out nukes?” with, “Nah, this is fucking ridiculous idea,” because whoever was asking was like a hyper-gammon.

So they devised a way to “do” it that reeked of, “but honestly you absolutely cannot do this,” and hoped it would take care of itself.

Kind of the point of DARPA style groups though isn’t it? It’s blatantly ludicrous, and in now way something anyone would actually do, but you work the whole thing through to find a way to make it theoretically possible, as sometimes some nugget of genius will be unearthed.

I’m sure the sun and mail can sell it to the gammons as just showing the spirit of the blitz.

I don’t even have to get a like, I know when I’ve done a good post, I don’t need anyone’s approval.
