More than a decade ago I proposed a thought experiment: what if you could produce weapons grade fissionable material without breeder reactors, without centrifuges, and you could use just about any element on the periodic table?
And if this were possible, I said 10+ years ago, then it follows that someone will do it, and it will scale and costs will drop rapidly; to the point that in 10 years (now) a person could buy this basement bomb factory for < $100 million dollars. And the prices keep dropping from there …
Imagine a deeply inverse-holographic gamma ray laser array that could turn a living person into a “fissionable jenga tower” … put it in a drone … you wanna be 15 miles away.
