Original Destruction

[Calobi]

Hey, these ideas are great. Really strange, some of them, but great nonetheless.

Now for an idea my brother, my friend and I had a while ago.

At absolute zero degrees Kelvin atomic movement stops. That is, everything becomes absolutely still, even the atoms. If you had a switch that could do that to, say, a planet, you'd have the planet just sitting there because it can't move. It's at absolute zero. I was trying to figure out how I could scientifically create a stasis field for a planet, and this was what I came up with. Unfortunately, when you turned it off all the momentum that kept the planet in orbit would have vanished, so it would fall straight into the star at the center of the system.

So that was my original idea and sort of the idea that spawned this thread. Continue with yout thoughts.

I don't believe that if you froze a planet to absolute zero it would stop moving. Anything on it and about it (i.e.: animals on it, the plates that makes up the planet, the oceans, etc.) would stop, but the planet itself would still be influenced by its momentum in space. It's like saying that freezing a person in mid-air would prevent them from falling. Unless you froze the space around it (which wouldn't be possible since there's nothing to freeze) the planet would still orbit the sun.

I think.

Or you could use an oscillator to shake a building to pieces(pretty sure Tesla came up with this one too).

he did, but it doesn't work.

They proved it on mythbusters.

The Mythbusters could prove that Nukes are implausible.

It depends on the building.

But it would! At absolute zero the atoms themselves stop moving. All motion ceases. Wouldn't that imply that if an object had any momentum it would lose it? To get to absolute zero you'd usually have to get there slowly, dropping the temperature bit by bit, everything slowing down at an unnoticeable rate. My idea has it happen with the flick of a switch. Instantaneous. Absolute zero. No motion, and hence no momentum.

Or at least that's the way I understand it. If there's any actual scientists out there reading this feel free to prove me wrong.

Ninja Assault Nuns

Everyone knows that nuns are secretly kick-ass ninjas. Thanks to the Sound of Music, we know that all Austrian nuns were trained in ninjitsu to fight the Nazis in the Second World War. What is not commonly known, however, is that for years now the Vatican has been training an elite squad of ninja assault nuns. This genetically modified super-nuns are produced from a combination of the Virgin Mary, Jenovah and Fraulein Maria, producing the ultimate ninja assault nuns. Ninja assault are not just stealthy - they are also armed with ninja assault rifles that shoot 5 million high explosive anthrax nuclear h-bomb katana swords every thirty seconds. They can also be subtle, and wear the razor-blade habit and a shuriken cross around their neck. Just one ninja nun can take on 500 pirates, 16000 Nazis, 24 million American troops or 564.52134958758009990809 gabillion Soviet conscripts, just as Fraulein Maria did in the final battle of the Sound of Music. Even if you manage to derobe and disarm a ninja assault nun, their deadly martial-arts skills enable them to cut you apart with their bare hands, bene Gesserit Style. Thankfully, due to an unfortunate time loop with a parallel universe, the ninja assault nun does not exist yet. They can, however, be bought on Ebay.
