  Are you saying superconducting railguns could possibly cause problems?!?
  • post-it 3y ago
    They could only cause problems solvable by more superconducting railguns, so they're a net zero at worst.

      > could only cause problems solvable by more superconducting railguns If the projectile is ferromagnetic, or potentially even just diamagnetic, a defense system involving shaped ultra-high intensity magnetic fields becomes conceivable.

        Hopefully they don't cause solar system wide loss of consciousness events.

        I believe ultrafast capacitors for high-energy lasers would be possible. Most likely some type of laser gatling gun configuration.
