minus-squareAlex@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoSome sort of orbital death beam? I seem to recall a 2000ad story around a space energy beaming facility that goes horribly wrong.
minus-squarePsaldorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI don’t know for sure but it’s particulates that make it a nuclear winter, not just cloud (water) but would also need to penetrate the clouds as well. It’s probably not wise for me to Google “what frequencies of EM can penetrate a nuclear winter clouds” though 🙂
minus-squareExcrubulent@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoThat’s actually a pretty good point and I don’t know how it would work either. It would definitely interfere with the signal to some extent.
