Yes. But only if we come across a more powerful weapon. Example, you don't see many wars fought with axes nowadays do you?

Don't know how to answer to the big question, but I could not hesitate to link as flavour pic to the discussion a pic about "rope trick effect", where the explosion shockwave runs faster in the cables holding the device than in air.

hmmm... I guess either we put an end to the world using nuclear weapons, or they never go away.

How true!

No, not true: nuclear weapons couldn't annihilate the world. They could annihilate any lifeform, except scorpions and tardigrads.

That's why we should work to create a weapon that will annihilate all life forms, if I'm going down all the creepy crawlies should go down too. Off course, there should be a shelter for all cute animals, with food synthesizers to provide food after the holocaust. I wouldn't want the bunnies to be hungry, but all the spiders and bees can die a long slow death for all I would care at that point.

Call it a pragmatic technicality. Tongue


 
Agree... of course, some of us will survive, will survive in small countries that do not have technology enough to be destroyed... and then there will be no more nuclear weapons... I really see it like that... after that... we will change... until our children forgot and start everything all over again... Dead
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

Getting rid of weapons means getting rid of the idea of war for me. You must be so hopeful to expect such kind of wisdom from humankind. We are somehow still in the very beginning of humankinds evoluation. There is no difference than stupid tribe fights than, wars for nation, wars for religion ... How many wars or fights aims a sustainable peace and throughout progress for humankind's future. The sense of belonging is a primitive thing and source of destruction in many cases.
