you see, gold is an element (Au). and as such is not made of any molecules. just gold atoms

ok, have to check on that. yes gold is an element so i suppose your right on that. i'll be honest, and say that not being a physics expert i don't know how true in light of your reminder the example was, however it was an example stated in an article i perused some months ago when i first heard about this (in the independant i think, or perhaps the guardian...). anyway, as i said it was an example given and as such one that i chose to use in my explanation of roughly how the theory of the science works.

if im wrong, i blame the scientists! anyway, your most likely right on that one, so good call and apologies all round.


no gold for me. boohoo...

The most terrifying weapon by far is the TrigNet, using FireNet ammunition.

After that come the Herculean, Xendrix, Hydra-jack and Tevix-Bahn.#

Hello UK Chris.

erm. no. no this couldn't happen. ever. unless the wood contained gold. which i don't think it does. not usually anyway.

stop being silly.

Well, it wouldn't be rearranging the molecules then, but protons, electrons, and neutrons. Still not especially possible. But with electron bombardment and the like, it is possible to convert one pure element to another. Just extremely expensive, unstable, and pointless.

That's not how nanotech works. Nanotechnology is not sub-atomic. All nanotech is, is tiny machines that are composed of single molecules or small numbers of them, which operate as a machine.

terrifying

Easy.

The most terrifying weapon is the hydrogen bomb. The thing needs an atomic bomb as a detonator --- think about that.

But the most terrifying weapon against an individual would be something that wouldn't kill him right away but would instead keep him alive, indefinitely, in unmitgated agony. Sort of like the Sarlacc Pit Monster but in spray form.

how about least terrifying weapons?

I gotta go marshmallow gun


semi automatic caulk rifle



Electric Self Twirling Spaghetti Fork



Soy bomb
