Why not just get 10kg of antimatter, put it on the moon, attach its magnetic containment field to a heart beat monitor, and threaten that if anyone invades your country the moon explodes?

Yeah
Print the money???
The price just went up a hudnredfold. If you try to print it again, it'll go up times a hundred again.
Print 1000x the money you need and spend it before anyone finds out
Doesn't work. Price went just up by a few million times.
okay, you've printed infinite money, now who do you buy antimatter from?
>print money
>buy antimatter
>threaten to blow up moon if foreign owners of your money don't burn it all and get ahold of more of your currency
Problem solved
>try to buy antimatter
>realise nobody's selling
>also realise that your money's already become worthless due to inflation
frick ya mudda
oh nooooo not the moonerino
not the heckin lunawuna noooo
>not the heckin lunawuna
jesus fricking christ anon that's a HATO warcrime against my sides
So is this posting of shit you know is stupid a way for you to deal with the pressure from school to know shit and have (somewhat) smart things to say about them? Or are you just so young, mentally, that you're still utterly blown away by your recent discovery that you can things even though you know that they're wrong?
How are you getting 10kg of antimater?
How are you putting it on the moon?
How are you powering the huge installation needed to contain that quantity of antimater on the moon?
How do I know that you are too young to post here?
A rocket dumbass
Just one? Which rocket?
>How are you getting 10kg of antimater?
1000 years of collection from all manner of sources, including space magnetic collection
>How are you putting it on the moon?
Literally any large rocket and the Artemis program
>How are you powering the huge installation needed to contain that quantity of antimater on the moon?
Radioisotope thermoelectric generator and magnetic confinement
How do I know that you are too young to post here?
You do not.
You can not fit the installation required to house that amount of antimatter through the turbulence and forces of a rocket launch on any rocket, present or past.
Anon, most of it is collected in space
And yes you can
>>and the Artemis program
>rocket ends up being more expensive than the antimatter production and ten years late
Because you won't do it because you are chicken.
10kg of antimatter costs around 15 trillion us dollars. Something the US Army cannot afford
Not only that, but I suspect that due to its slow generation and the unstable nature of its existence, you could not ever have 10kg of antimater in one place.
Theoretically you could. Practically, you need a big and complex enough containment system that something is bound to go wrong eventually. Which uh, isn't great when something going wrong translates to a ~430 megaton boom.
>around 15 trillion us dollars
That won't even buy you a gram
I, too, have read Three Body Problem.
Coalesce all the antimatter humanity has artificially generated in the past 100 years, and it would still be microscopic
You turned a interesting topic, the absolute madman 'sovereignty' into a trash thread, congratulations.
Counterpoint: Most people don't give a shit about the moon and wouldn't miss it if it were gone
space illiterates are the worst type of moron, OP is moronic but you're below him by a lot
Whatever you say, moonlover
He's right though. If humans try to blackmail anyone by blowing up the moon, the reaction will be "go ahead morons, please have a nice day."
Jesus frick, forget the fact that antimatter is hard to produce, hard to keep stable, insanely pricey.
10kg antimatter annihilation would create 1.8 *10^(18) Joule of energy, almost instantly. That's TWELVE ORDERS OIF MAGNITUDE larger than the gravitational binding energy of the moon (1.7*10^6 Joule).
We'd completely destroy the earths orbit around the sun by wiping out the moon in an insane gamma ray burst, creating an instable system. Meanwhile, that GRB would pretty much frick up all electronics on the half of the earth facing the moon, the cosmic radiation would probably cause billions of cancer cases, but forget that because we altered the fricking orbit of the earth.

>Jewls
Black person we use hasguns units here.
Don't give the Israelis any ideas, the Sampson Option is already terrifying. Nuking the whole fricking world because a few countries you control refused or failed to protect you, that's madness.
The moon isn't real.
OP has the mind of a drunk moron. I respect it
10kg of antimatter contains about 430k megatons of power, which sounds like a lot, but is 11 orders of magnitude less than the moons binding energy.
