Force Fields - (Locklin, Guba, Hamilton)


“The pale continuous beam impinged upon the force field that surrounded the mayor of Terminus and was sucked harmlessly to neutralization. Wienis pressed harder and laughed tearingly. Hardin still smiled and his force-field aura scarcely brightened as it absorbed the energies of the nuclear blast. From his corner Leopold covered his eyes and moaned” (Asimov 135).

We chose to research the idea of a force field because in the chance that these force fields once become realistic, they would be a very demanded technology, not only for war, but for the protection of our planet. The possibilities are endless regarding the uses a force field could supply. Is the force field a feasible technology? We are not quite sure. At this point in time, a force field does not seem to be possible. But, on the other hand, our planet is surrounded by some sort of “force field” that protects us from harmful rays that the sun produces. After researching a bit more, hopefully the answer as to the feasibility will become known.
