Aaron,
Any one who thinks military applications won’t happen is a fool. Any one who pretends they won’t happen, is ignoring reality.
Bad things happen to those who are fools or ignore reality.
I’ve made it clear, I work in the power industry. But….I’m no fool, and as an engineer, I pay attention to reality. Even if the US doesn’t deploy these types of weapons, we MUST plan for defenses against them.
So any forum discussing impact of a world changing technology like Focus Fusion seems to be a place where ALL effects should be discussed. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
