The Navy Is About to Shoot a Projectile at 9,000 MPH. No One Knows What Will Happen.
“What we learn will be very important to this country.”

Case Western Reserve University/Bryan Schmidt

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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

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

With China Joe and his minions, they already have the results.

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 ...
