How to stop a hurricane...
Let me predicate this with: This is probably the single most idiotic thing I've ever posted here and I know how stupid this is going to sound but it was just one of those fleeting thoughs that is so rediculious.... well, you know... so here goes.
I was weedeating out in the yard when the though dawned on me, has anyone ever tried to stop a hurricane? How would you do it? Basically you'd need some kind of braking mechanism to stop the rotation right? Dont' ask me why, but I thought of that stupid scene from "The Core" where they're lighting off nukes to jump start the planet.
Again, I said tighten your tinfoil hat, but what if we tried that with conventional weapons on a hurricane only in reverse? Or what if we just bombed the living hell out of the whole thing all at once. Maybe super-heat it, or dissipate some of the moisture? There'd have to be some turbulance from the bombs that might interrupt the storm. I know, how retarded, right?
But seriously, what would you need to stop a hurricane dead in its tracks? Anyone ever thought about that before? Let your imagination go on this one and lets have one of those stupid dreamer mad-scientist discussions like we did when we were kids and see if we can figure out what it would take to stop a hurricane. The rules are that the solution has to be within the scope of today's technology.
