Antimatter is the first thing I thought of. I don't know if anybody watches What On Earth but a man made weaponized giant tsunami could wipe out an entire coast

That's along the conspiratorial lines of HAARP...

What weapons do y'all believe already exist in secret which are more destructive than nuclear weapons (bio weapons excluded)?

Didn't Reagan want to drop a Tungsten Pole from low orbit that creates catastrophic damage?

Kinetic bombardment would be feasible and would be much worse than nuclear explosions.

There will be something significantly more powerful once we find a way to truly convert atomic mass to pure "damage-causing" energy. Even in nuclear explosions most of the energy released is from the release of the "binding energy" that holds atoms together; very very very little actual mass (protons, neutrons, electrons - and their constituent particles) is actually converted to energy (think E=mc2). Roughly half of the energy produced goes towards the process of the explosion.

Furthermore, roughly half of the energy that is ultimately released becomes neutrinos, which do absolutely dick - they don't interact with matter, not really anyway.

Thus, our current incantation of nuclear bombs could only harness a theoretical max of roughly 1/4th of the atom's potential energy. The real world is much much less.. IIRC Fat Man and Little Boy converted little more that a penny's worth of material to energy accounting for only a fraction of a percent of the "nuclear mass."

But.... once we figure out how to take an electron, proton, or neutron and convert it to pure "destructive" energy, that will be one hell of a explosion.

We already have EMP bombs, which could devastate a country given the reliance on electronics.

Time is a flat circle

no it isn't

also to the OP - Yes, but only if humans don't kill themselves off before figuring it out.

I put EMP weapons in the "nuclear" category. Sure, an EMP attack would be horrific (estimated 80 percent of target zone would eventually die due to starvation), but we aren't the only country to possess this weapon.

We've already determined that kinetic bombardment is scarier. Probably why there are space treaties forbidding kinetic bombardment.

Yeah it's called pussy. It's the most powerful weapon in the world.
