I'm pretty sure there's a few hundred fusion wmds in silos a few hours north of me, we've had this kind of weapon since 1952.


Nice fact check, thank you. I didn’t know H-bombs used fusion but it makes complete sense. Hydrogen is not exactly the heaviest of elements :)

Well then, for my example, imagine a different future discovery that could be abused. Let’s say biological robots or a some new source of useful energy that is misused. Warring humans find ways to corrupt many scientific achievements for evil.
