How to Win an Interstellar War
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell・8 minutes read
Two civilizations, Humans, and Smorpians, are engaged in an interstellar war over a hyperspace bypass plan, with Smorpians possessing devastating weapons like the Star Laser, Relativistic Missile, and Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beam designed to annihilate humanity from extreme distances. Despite the potency of these weapons, it is recommended to maintain silence in the universe to prevent attracting attention and sparking further conflict.
Insights
- The Smorpians possess advanced weaponry like the Star Laser, Relativistic Missile, and Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beam, each capable of devastating Earth from vast interstellar distances with minimal warning.
- To prevent conflict and potential annihilation, maintaining a low profile in the universe is recommended, highlighting the importance of avoiding unnecessary attention and remaining discreet amidst interstellar civilizations like the Smorpians.
