Ultimately, the survivability of a shielded spacecraft against physical impacts could (and would, given sufficient shield strength) conceivably come down to a set of bolts holding a shield generator onto the ship's spaceframe. This example highlights the severe problem with most attempts to rationalize sci-fi technologies, which is that people tend to look for the strongest link in the chain, not the weakest link in the chain.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #imported:pinboard #physics #scifi #shields</p> Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:14:35 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:24238 imported:pinboard physics scifi shields
