By combining electrostatic, weak nuclear, strong nuclear and gravitic force (in that order) to form the force that existed at the beginning of causality, this weapon effectively forces the strings in the target area to expand to their previous ten dimensions and preventing matter (and energy) from existing in that area for a short time. As the strings expand they can, theoretically, pass on the effect to others and create a chain reaction. As the field dissipates, the matter that was expanded returns to its previous 5 dimensions as raw energy, creating the equivalent of an atomic annihilation explosion as an aftereffect.
You do realize that this description sounds.....sillly. How does expanding something to ten dimensions prevent matter and energy from existing there? Hell, why would said expansion do that? That's something I'm not quite understanding. Furthermore, why would the matter that was expanded (even though you said that matter and energy can't exist there, so how was it expanded again?) turn to raw energy?
I don't want to get into another argument with you Derran, but the theory of string (aka String Theory) basically concludes that strings (base matter, form gluons etc) are actually collapsed dimension-pieces (there are probably more than ten, and as many as thirty) that existed, as stated, at the beginning of causality for just a few femtoseconds (or whatever). Using unified energy (another thing, in this case force, that came into existance at the beginning of causality) it is possible to expand the strings back to their previous dimensional form. Obviously this has catastrophic effects on the matter that the strings were formed into, and once the unified energy field gives out it is unlikely that the matter will reform. It is actually quite unlikely that the same process will happen to recreate strings, so you may end up with nothingness as the dimensions cease to exist completely. IF they come back, it will almost certainly be in the form of raw (ie explosive) energy, purely because the strings are seperate and free floating, and as such cannot exist (shaky here =p) so convert directly to energy. Unified energy is pretty much impossible to manipulate once it has been created, but ceases to exist (and collapses back into the other four base forces) almost immediately. I'm not actually sure how far it would travel, or how far it would reach as it is made from two infinite-range forces (gravity and electrostatic) and two finite range forces (weak and strong)... although it may have a different effect on reality altogether, bypassing distance as it expands strings. it would be possible to force the field to remain in existance by simply pulsing graviton, WNF, SNF and electroweak beams at it, but firing a continuous beam would not be advised... the beam would convert to UE... and take the projector, and your ship, with it.
Well, this weapon was actually proposed for another race that's being worked on. You're right about it not being needed in the Star Army, though; I won't use it on Star Army ships.Derran said:Necessity is the mother of design.
Yeah. That's a good point. In fact, I was looking at another RP today and this is how they handled the problem:Derran said:In short: The technology level of this RP is so high that there's no room for real advancement.
Do you think we should do something similar?The Universe said:There have been no fundamentally new technologies for several hundred years. Even the refinements of existing technology have stopped. The weapons, ships, consumer goods, transportation, communication, entertainment and domestic technologies are therefore stable. In this era it is a case of making best use of what is, rather than invent a better device.
