Now now, science doesn't turn cities into radioactive craters, people turn cities into radioactive craters.

But seriously, that's not making war, that's making war worse. Science itself, like most abstract concepts, doesn't commit acts of war.

Also lol, I just happened to come across this on my Overcompensating archive trawl.

Science is in danger! Somebody, activate the Sithdarth signal!

But what is science?

(warning: flashing images)

Viva la science!

A whitecoat! Get 'im!

*fitches and torqueporks*

I think this thread is flawed from the outset. Nobody *does* science anymore, everyone just sits in rooms and pontificates *about* science. The threat has neutralised itself.

Doesn't that arguably make it more of a threat? That way, science can't even be detected until it insinuates itself into your very mind--and by then, of course, it's too late.

I hadn't considered that angle. I shall need to ponder.

Come on, people. What's the worst thing that science can do? Asides from destroying your dreams, destroying your world, and probably destroying everything, ever?

The Nazis used science you know. Quite a lot of it.
