Take a left, go down the hall about thirty miles, cross the hay field and take a right at the gate and follow the tunnel about 5 & 11/8 and go up three times and then down the flight of stairs to your left. Turn right into the infinite(not really but it feels like it) hallway and take the third door on the left, marked seven. It will come out of the sixth door on the right, marked 42 ACE. Turn around and go back through THAT door, cross the lobby, take the elevator to three days ago. Go straight ahead, and, in the third cubicle on the left, you'll find a two year old who knows how to get you back to where you want to go. Got it? Good.👍 Also, spaghetti in a blender is a good way to describe my thoughts at any given time. 😊

@Snipergoat18 ай бұрын
If you think DU is a dense and dangerous munition just try neutronium! (What neutron stars are made of). Two small problems. One is mass. At about 100 million metric tonnes per cubic centimeter even a handful of rounds would outmass even the largest of spacecraft, never mind trying to build a gun that could actually accelerate those slugs to a usable speed. The other is the fact that it is unbelievably unstable. The only reason that it exists in neutron stars is that the unfathomably immense gravity of the star keeps it from blowing itself apart with energy that would make an atomic weapon weapon with envy. Remember these things are under as much gravitational pressure as the universe can provide before it "breaks" and forms a black hole, the internals of which are pretty much all speculation as physics as we know it sort of breaks down and it is not possible to "look" into it using any known means or any theoretical means that obey the laws of physics as we know them. So not really going to happen unless the tech in the story is not just so far advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic, but so far advanced as to be indistinguishable from Godhood. Other than those couple of hurdles, why not?
@davidvincent57018 ай бұрын
@@Snipergoat1 ; Thanks for the response. But realistically the bullet would have between half a gram to two grams per bullet cross sectional density, based on diameter size. The possible projectiles size would be twenty millimeter to fifty or sixty millimeter range. The alloy encasement is, while not public yet. Is expected to be 3D printed and kilm treated in zero gravity. The ISS a few years ago tested powdered printing with other elements. The alloy is being designed now to house current radioactive pills/rods. Thoughts on just in case micro meteor strikes in space travel. Scientists know of a couple ways to possibly make synthetic neutronium currently. Nuclear fusion and a specific modification to a particle accelerator. Well there's also quantum quark build up. Outside of the tech that we are currently building a foundations for the next two to five hundred years. My one up idea is something that is expected in eight hundred to one thousand years. The quantum quark is expected in maybe in two thousand years. Thanks again.
