The Navy Is About to Shoot a Projectile at 9,000 MPH. No One Knows What Will Happen.

A future experiment will shoot a projectile into a wall of water twice as fast as ever researched before.

The study, funded by the U.S. Navy, could have national defense applications.
Possible results include “exotic ice,” vaporized water, the creation of light, or plenty of other scientifically wild outcomes.

Shooting an 18-millimeter-diameter ballistic into a wall of water at 9,000 miles per hour is wild and unprecedented, but the U.S. Navy is throwing money behind the project out of sheer curiosity. And the researchers at Case Western Reserve University who are conducting the experiment are getting pretty giddy about what they might see when it happens, including everything from the formation of ice to the creation of light.

Are China and Russia going to receive thorough reports on the experiments? :whistle:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Reminds me of an issue with the Concorde Jet in the 1970s ...
