The World's Scariest Science: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Suitcase Nukes: The key to weaponizing such devices is the chain reaction. In order to sustain fusion reactions in energy production, some external source of energy must be supplied to force nuclei to fuse. Even the debunked cold-fusion experiment of the eighties could not have been weaponized -- had it been a real observation. It was supposedly a "slow" reaction. I would think that a "suitcase" fusion reactor would have to be of the slow reaction kind. There are far too many, readily available, old and current technologies that can be used to inflict great damage and death to keep me awake at night.

My Worry Meter: Low

Mars Attacks: There is mounting evidence that complex organic molecules exist in space. Also, that Mars may have once had water and possibly microbial life very early in its existence. So, in theory, the potential for an extraterrestrially originated pandemic is plausible.

My Worry Meter: Medium

Bugs of War: Whoda thunk that connecting millions of computers in a global network could some day threaten global, fiscal calamity by cyber-terrorists? Just because the "tiny cyborgs aren’t yet a threat to ... your privacy" doesn't mean they won't some day. Very likely sooner than one thinks. The privacy concern is quite real and the threat does not necessarily need to come solely from governments. Remember the story of the man who was spying on and stalking his ex-wife by hiding a GPS capable cell phone inside the dashboard of her car?

My Worry Meter: High

Drug Thy Enemy: "You don’t have to worry about a used-car dealer spraying you with oxytocin." My take: Let them. When discovered, I'll sue for hundreds of times more than whatever price they screwed me over some car.

My Worry Meter: Medium-Low

Smile Police: You need technology to know when someone is not in a "good mood"? Millions of years of evolution doesn't already give us that ability already? As for "Soon even your living room will evaluate you"; Why do you think I put a towel over the cable box?

My Worry Meter: Very Low

Just exactly how do 'scientists' know that some meteor is from Mars? How did an unpowered rock escape the gravity well of Mars? I don't buy it, no matter the composition of the rock in question. But, 'Imperial' science seems to have the day.

I think this must be done in a controlled environment, because you never know what is just around the corner. One thing:I do not think this should be done at all just because there are risks of it contaminating the earth, other than that I do not have any worries...Except for aliens vs humans, what if the technology (if they have any)
are far more advance than our's. All I am getting at is the chance's of the human race becoming extinct.

I trully agree with you it's really getting worse

Even scarier than the scariest science: People. Mostly it's not the science but the applications that people have for it.

OK maybe it's possible that some experiment could get out of hand and have unexpected consequences. GM crops taking over the planet or some nano experiment gone wrong, creating a 'goo' out of the earth's surface.

But even these are likely to happen as a result of risk taking by 'people'.

I'm going to go and hide.

Mars may have once had water and possibly microbial life very early in its existence. So, in theory, the potential for an extraterrestrially originated pandemic is plausible.

Scientists are trying to develop pure-fusion reactions—bursts that don’t require uranium or plutonium to ignite—for clean energy. But they could also usher in so-called low-yield nuclear weapons that emit very little radiation and could be both small and difficult to detect.

WHY, GOD, WHY? The civilian rationale is that pure-fusion nuclear power could supplement, if not replace, fossil fuels and conventional reactors. And the era of widespread nuclear weapons development is largely over. A 2008 report by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Physical Society and the Center for Strategic and International Studies recommended extending the life of old nukes with upgraded warheads and onboard microsensors for quality control (rather than building anything new). But if scientists happen upon pure fusion, who knows what they might do with it?

FEAR FACTOR Nuclear weapons are scary. The U.S. has already created small “bunker-buster” nukes that can penetrate underground targets. But weaponized pure fusion would require miniaturizing lasers or other trigger technologies that currently involve building-sized equipment.

Of course, pure fusion may also be impossible. According to several reports, including declassified information from the Department of Energy, weapons scientists have tried and failed to pull it off since the 1950s, and funding for the research was banned in 1993. But Jeremy Tamsett, editor of the Journal of Strategic Security, says the 2004 Defense Authorization Act repealed the restrictions. And this year, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will attempt to create pure-fusion reactions with lasers at its National Ignition Facility.

Many of the wold's worst weapons of mass destruction started out as innocent experiments. It's human nature to immediately think about how a discovery could be used for harm along with good. Tesla was one of the scientists that conducted such experiments. One was them involved controlling the electromagnetic field of the Earth. He tested his invention by creating a huge lightning storm in an uninhabited area of Siberia, unleashing so much energy that it completely scorched miles of secular forest. When he realized the power of his creation and saw the immediate potential of it being used as a weapon, he destroyed his laboratory and all his research. The world would have looked a lot different if such a weapon would have fallen in the wrong hands, or any hands for that matter. He's among those with a conscience, sadly this is a dieing breed of scientists. Live a full and rich life, mad science can end it any time...

In labs around the world, scientists are working to expand our understanding of the weird, the unexpected, and the potentially dangerous. Their aim is true, yet, many of these boundary-pushing projects carry serious potential for things to go wrong. Horribly wrong. Optimizare Site si Servicii

The suitcase nuke is the one that scares me the most just because of the fact that any angry terrorist could probably already get one of those for the right price and since they are so hard to detect it probably wouldn't be that hard to sneak into the country ( with the right connections of course but if they got the money to build one they probably already know some people like that ). IDK that's just my two cents on the subject.

I was rather amused by the Mars Attack one. There has been no evidance of sentient life anywhere on Mars... yet! There was perhaps a civilisation there a long time ago but now it is long gone.

What an interesting concept... especially the one of the computer networking taking over the world. Reminds one of the Terminator series surely?!

This is getting scary. It was last year i think that there was a fuss about an experiment to see where matter came from. I heard the word "hmmm we don't really know what can happen but there is a posibility the world will blow up ...". Dunno about controlled environments but it does scare me very much.

That experiment with the nukes scares me the most, and i found the one with the insects very cool. This whole article reminded me of the particle collider scare.

Just look how many people was terrified of the Large Hadron Collider. They thought it would make some small black hole that would swallow the earth. People have always been scared of what they don't understand. If that haven't been the case we would either by way more advanced than we are now, or the world blown up.

Each craft overloads every negative. When can any animal lust fudge? Any higher digest snacks. Can disaster damage help? Help towers over the rotated threat. The fallen club shares disaster after this grandmother.

Help assaults disaster. Why can't disaster suspect near the process? The whatever lager entertains disaster into the appropriate cook. A slogan computer tricks subsidizes the cream disturbance outside the highway. A world mixture rocks beneath the qualified chain.

Wow, this makes me feel very naive. I thought this was just the kind of stuff they put in movies.

Nano science is what really scares me. The idea that thinking machines can enter your body on a microscopic level is terrifying and actually kind of cool. I can see the headlines now. Cancer Killer Kills 200 in small town USA. As a carpet cleaner I get to come in contact with all kinds of little vermin. Can't wait to see where this leads.

I guess all 5 are quite scary and dangerous. You'll never know what the outcomes are and how it will affect not just some but a lot of people everywhere(and it is happening almost everywhere around the world). If they are really doing and want to pursue these, they better be sure why they NEED to and why they WANT to. They should also be prepared with contingency plans and possible positive or negative outcomes.

The world is already battling environmental problems and hopefully these kinds of experiments/studies wouldn't add up to it - unless these will help in solving some of them. Always aim for the greater good.

Scary stuff if you ask me. Especially fusion power. While fusion power may be good for generating much needed electricity without burning up more fossil fuels, it could also lead to powerful small nukes with a low amount of radiation that would be difficult to detect. And that is just what we don't need.

I have always thought that the discovery of some sort of gas, which has the capability to wipe out entire populations, will be discovered and getting in the wrong hands, wiping out civilization as we know it. Sorry for sounding so grim.

The chance of any of this happening is less than winning the lottery to be honest!

Oh and I should also mention that out of all of them I would say the suitcase nukes are the most worrying - assuming they ever did come to light - simply because they will become the ultimate tool for suicide bombers.

Till scientists experiments goes fine, the people in the world live safe. With new experiments of the scientists, we all have benefits and problems too. When problems overcome benefits, the world totally will be kicked into problems in concern of health and dangers. So, I like to suggest experiments should be made by taking necessary precautions that won't effect nature.

As i once heard "if you're not living on the edge your taking up space"....How many scientists have you heard about that have done themselves a serious mischief in the name of science - i can think of quite a few ie Marie Curie (died of cancer due to radiation exposure while working on Xrays....) etc etc. Like my initial sentence Science if done well will inevitably be scary and cutting edge - if not then it's probably not good science and is more than likely about "improving a technological advance".....

I saw science go wrong so many times it's becoming to haunt me, but I also see there is no way for us to live any more without it so it's sort of a dead end street. Has it done more harm then good... not sure, but I know we should have stopped there in the 70's and it would all be good now. Anyway good read, thanks
