WW3/4

[Dunenewt]

Here is a quote from Albert Einstein:

"On the assumption that a Third World War must escalate to nuclear destruction, I can tell you that the Fourth World War will be faught with bows and arrows"

[Timenn]

Yeah. Einstein said some nice things :)

See my sig

[Dude_Doc]

If there will be any humans left to fight in WW4...

[VigilVirus]

You can't kill the entire humankind with a nuclear war. Some will sirvive, unless Earth itself is destroyed.

[Timenn]

Earth itself won't be destroyed because of some simple nukes

[Cyborg]

hehe... simple nukes hehe.

Earth wouldn't be damaged itself by nuclear bombs, but the very surface would maybe loose some inhabitants ::)

[Dunenewt]

Simple Nukes! Wa are talking H-Bombs here! 8 of those could wipe out the UK or a similar sized country. A Trident missile with 8 warheads has 853 times the explosive of the Hiroshima bomb. The nuclear load carried by a single Trident submarine is equivalent to eight times the amount of the total fire power used in the whole of WW2.

Well if the land is entirely contaminated by radiation, and nuclear fallout pollutes the atmosphere, there is a good chance that many living organisms (including humans) may find the new conditions a little tough to live in, don't you think? ;)

[Timenn]

I was comparing the damage to the strength of Earth itself

[nemafakei]

I thought he said 'we don't know what weapons will be used in WW3, but in WW4, we will use sticks and stones' but I may be wrong.

Possibly. It's too hard to tell. It depends on political situations and when it happens. It's certainly something to bear in mind.

The strength of Earth is irrelevent if you're considering its' ability to support life. Belziel said before that a nuclear war couldn't wipe out humanity, unless Earth itself was destroyed.

You can't kill the entire humankind with a nuclear war. Some will sirvive, unless Earth itself is destroyed.

I'm saying that the Earth doesn't necessarily have to be destroyed in order to wipe out humanity, there may be many other ways this could be achieved, nuclear contamination and change of living conditions being a couple of them.

[Cyborg]

Almost no nations in the world produces hydrogen bombs because they are just a tad too powerful

[Cyborg]

I thought he said 'we don't know what weapons will be used in WW3, but in WW4, we will use sticks and stones'

Yep you're right.

Have you watched discovery channel? ;D

[Dunenewt]

I got it from a quote from my Re text book

[Cyborg]

I think you're right too

[exatreide]

humans are like roaches. we alwas survive.. ;)

[Dunenewt]

I hope so

[Cyborg]

Yep, humans are the virus of earth... ;D

[Dunenewt]

As long as their isn't a giant Norton Scanner :P

[nemafakei]

Nope. But we might end up making our host immune before we can find another.

[Dunenewt]

Which hopefully won't be too long.Alpha Centauri B here i come (which is the *home* of Ecaz in the Dune books)

[Cyborg]

The only way of removing the virus called humans is to format the earth(using h or a bombs ;D). Though you would remove other important creatures.

[Dunenewt]

Bows and arrows...hmm...maybe some of us will mutate to get point ears

[hide]Elves[/hide]

or become short

[hide]Dwarves[/hide]

Or just become downright ugly

[hide]Orcs[/hide]

Only US and Russia. But each of them have enough stockpiled to cover the entire surface of the Earth. If I am not mistaken, US has about 40,000 nuclear and thermonuclear warheads, Russia has about 25,000.

[Dunenewt]

And Britain and France
