[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] There's always the possibility that Spock was comparing the atomic weapons of the 22nd century (phasers, fusion and photon torpedoes) and the atomic weapons of the 23rd (phasers, photon torpedoes), since those were the decisive ones in the conflict. And the atomics of the 22nd would be primitive compared with those of the 23rd, device by device, weapon type by weapon type.[/qb][/QUOTE]But none of those weapons are really "atomic" as the way people understand atomic (splitting atoms versus total annhilation). If phasers and photon torpedoes are atomic, then so's a poptart. Though, you do inspire another point. It's atomic, not [i]nuclear[/i]. So what, were they throwing kiloton-ranged weapons at each other? That's not much of a fireworks show, even by today's standards. [/QB][/QUOTE]
