1. The US has to this point acumulated less than 10^-18 grams of antiprotons.

2. we've held that resevoir in a stable mirror charge trap for more than eighteen years. Magnetic fields contrary to popular belief don't decay all that easily-especially self maintaining ones.

3. If we set off all the ordnance we have Humanity's nuclear arsenals we would temporarily damage about 3% of the surface area of the Earth and kill less than 1/100th of 1% of its biomass. When you consider that a Katrina event is the equivalent of 15%-20% of the US arsenal in effective energy unleashed over a wide area, you have to wonder about the nuclear weapon effect exaggerations that plague our popular imaginations. For example- the Czar bomb would leave a ground crater about 10 kilometers wide and about two kilometers deep. It would vaporize Everest surely, but it would hardly destroy the Earth or do more than local immediate damage to the environment. The sustained damage in the form offall out would be bad for a couple of years, but then so was the fall out from Krakatoa [radioactives included by the way] which was far worse in yield as well as the debris kicked into the air.  

 

You have to understand what is really needed to Chicxilub us. That would be Mount Everest traveling at a good  20 kilometers per second headed straight for a plate tectonic fault. THAT would fix us good. At 115 MILLION megatons energy released or about 1000 tomes [3 orders of magnitude] of the entire Human nuclear arsenal, it will kill off anywhere from 55% to 90% of all species currently alive-probably anything larger than a chicken, just from the shock waves..   

.

THAT is what you need to wipe out Humanity. We don't even come close to that kind of power to do work on ourselves.........yet.
