Build a Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing truck, then set it in reverse. Accelerate to about 12.3 Undecillion miles per hour, then hit a pseron. This would cause, and I'll quote:

it would be like every atom in your body being shot with an individual supermassive black hole cannon fourteen thousand times over

Krhm.

Yes?

Assuming a 4500kg truck (I have no idea how heavy trucks usually are, so this was from driver's licence minimum requirements), you've got in the order of magnitude of 10⁵ times the estimated energy in the universe. And that's something.

This just clearly shows the divine nature of His Big Riggidness.

You know... uhhh... nevermind. Gotta go, kthxbai.

[TempAcc]

A big rig in reverse would probably eventualy generate enough energy to catapult the whole mass of the universe into a second big bang.

[Sergarr]

I'm just going to say that the equation they use is unusable for speeds approaching the speed of light, and it is certainly not usable for speeds beyond that.

So any attempt to calculate energy of Big Rigs truck is utterly useless because it doesn't operate under the laws of physics.

No way! What gave it away? The near-infinite acceleration? The lack of momentum in turning and stopping? The fact they phase through solid objects?

[i2amroy]

A better question would be: 'how to do anything destructive without applying acceleration?'

Oooohh, oooh! I've got one! How about laser beams? Light moves at a constant velocity so by definition it can't be accelerating! Assuming the person started directly in the sights of the laser beam gun you could kill them without acceleration!

Another method would be suffocation by changing or replacing the air through a chemical reaction. Someone being stuck in the room with a big block of dry ice would work, for example, or in the room with something that chemically pulls the oxygen out of the air.

[Frumple]

Wouldn't chemical interactions necessarily involve acceleration on a minute scale, though? Stuff's getting from one spot to another. Really tiny stuff, but still.

[Putnam]

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that is "destructive" without being acceleration is the weak interaction, and I'm not sure how exactly that could be weaponized on humans...

You had to accelerate your own body somehow to trigger the laser gun. If it isn't a pure solid-state weapon there was even acceleration with only one degree of separation rather than two.

Would this fit into the subject? Also would it be something possible to create 500ish years in the future? Kinda fits in the weaponized acceleration subject  sorry if this is a derail or tangent.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. 'Destruction' requires rearanging of some existing, compact material, which kinda can't be done without accelerating its components at different rates (so that they don't stay together as with uniform acceleration). Laser damage fits here as well.

500 years? We basically have those now.
