Smoke weed every day

The first plant of marijuana was planted on earth by aliens who wanted to save humanity. Instead of caffeine and amphetamine(for "ADHD") everyone including little kids should be force-fed marijuana all day.
Marijuana must be legalized.

I had been thinking about putting diagrams of a few different devices together for a while, and Ripple was first on my list.

I assumed here that modulation is done with alternating high/low-Z layers. The alternative would be to modulate the x-rays in the interstage area, such as through metal foils of different thicknesses that burn through.

I hadn't realised how far apart the primary and secondary were until I started. Though that assumes the device had that length for a reason, and primary and secondary were as far apart as possible.

I believe the problem was size. I'm not sure if it was a deliverable weapon or just a series of tests.

I've read the biography of Ted Taylor who worked exclusively on nuclear rather than thermonuclear weapon design with the emphasis on size. He went from a 280mm shell down to a 155mm shell and even mentioned that 105mm was possible using 'bare cores' and other scary ideas.

But he noted that lower yield devices are very inefficient requiring large amounts of fissile material for the yield.

I'm a chemist by training and I sat down to dry to draw mercury pyroantimonate (purported to be 'red mercury' and what I noted was that if the mercury is in it's +2 oxidation-state, the only way I could make it balance was for it to be a macromolecule i.e. a long chain of a repeating pattern of atoms.

Wigner energy has now been studied in materials other than graphite so I do wonder it displacement could occur in such a material. In fact such displacement could result in a 3D macromolecule.

Pure conjecture on my part and the energies I've read of do not suggest that a ballotechnic is feasible.

Still, I suppose someone smarter than me has looked at the problem and will know for sure.

I hope you are not suggesting red mercury is real.

I used the term 'purportedly' because although many sources CLAIM mercury pyroantimonate is the chemical in question, nobody knows.

I also stated that I did not believe that it was a ballotechnic. I mean, I think that was supposed to be WHY 'red mercury' was some huge proliferation risk.

So I was more asking someone with a better grounding in physics to show that while Wigner energy has been stored in compounds other than graphite (maybe even in the stuff I mentioned), the amounts would be MANY orders of magnitude smaller.

I don't recall mentioning ballotechnics or Wigner energy.

You asked me if I was suggesting 'red mercury' is real.

I had kind of assumed you at least knew what it was SUPPOSED to be, A ballotechnic that stored a large proportion of it's potential energy in the form of Wigner energy.

So forgive me for presuming you might appreciate my efforts to take apart the MULTIPLE reasons that I don't believe the myth.

You did not say you thought it was a myth, and instead gave some wishy-washy BS about it, which reeks of a nut know knows other people aren't interested.

You do know what the word 'purportedly' means, do you?

You are bordering on speaking of, and/or discussing aspects of fogbank. I advise this conversation go no further. Thank you.
