Blog Entries: 1  |  Thoughts on the 40k universe First off, the mysterious subject of Dark Matter. Could 40k have something equivelant to this, say like, the Warp? I can see a connection here, but have not thought too much on it. Ideals? Next, I've been wondering about some current (or possibly near future) technologies and would like to know if there is anything similiar in 40k : Nuclear fusion, Anti-matter, and Ion Propulsion. What about Hydrogen Fuel Cells? Next, Asteriod Mining. Could this be a method of extracting precious metals to manufacter weapons of war? What (if any) races would use this technology? Silicon life. Silicon is chemically very similar to carbon, so are they any silicon-based life forms? I've also been wondering about the economy of the Imperium, how are goods bought and purchased? Is there a "black market" of goods, technologies, and arms?

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Thoughts on the 40k universe Here's another thought : Are tank guns (or any large calibre weapons of the Imperium) smoothbore or rifled? To what exent is caseless ammunition used (think Heckler & Koch's G11)? Are they any automatic, high capacity shotguns to speak of? Would make more sense for breaching than a bolt pistol. What about wormholes? They are current experiments to create mini wormholes, and would this be a viable option of space travel (assuming the Emperor and the Astronomican was ever destroyed)?

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Thoughts on the 40k universe How would humans develop in low gravity worlds? Muscles would deteriorate, but maybe the would evlove more arms and hands instead of legs? *EDIT* Ha, I just remembered something. I came across an article in Scientific American (I think) about a year ago discussing Ice 9. Maybe a doomsday weapon against the enemies of mankind? Ice-nine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
