See right there is our middle ground. The crazy alien technology is extremely small, extremely powerful magnets! But it is actually kind of fun to think of the ways they could do all this stuff. I am waiting for an FPS to make a gun that shoots a small ballbearing at 0.9999c. The effect that would have in atmosphere is catastrophic (even for the shooter). Realistically it would superheat the air within a fairly large radius of the path but it would also force air out of the path and the air collapsing back in would either crush people or deafen them. I'm not sure how far the ballbearing would go though, there is a lot of things that "could" happen but its all speculation honestly. The coolest thing would be for it to go until it hits something and explode (Tunguska style). On second thought that gun would be way too powerful..nevermind =P |
Hilarious. It's always refreshing to see someone pull in physics to make someone else look stupid, especially when it involves sci-fi. |
QFT. I mean it's a videogame, what next is someone going to try to use science to explain the light and dark parallel dimensions in Metroid Prime 2 or how the suit in that game can transform into a morph ball with a human inside?
