the risks of the incomplete Einstein's thm E=mc^2

Hi, Kiron thanks for your reply. Indeed we usually call a war project manager a general or commander, in my humble opinion. The title does not negate the fact that the war has a beginning and an end, as well as specific goals. Also, there needs continuous coordination, monitoring, feedback loops, adjustments, and risk assessments. It is in this sense that I refer to a war general as equivalent to a project manager. An example would be Napoleon Bonaparte invasion of Russia. His aim was to capture Russia. He had a target begin and end for this project/war and specific goals. He had risk assessments done. It was a unique endeavour as this was a war like no other that he had done before. Unfortunately, there was this unknown of unknowns that the Russians used the burned earth strategy against him and his armies and they dies of cold and hunger. So indeed I am a proponent of Generals mastering PM, including leadership skills. (Laugh)

Hi, Keith glad you asked. Above is some material to work on. The fact of the matter is that if the exact equation is not known then if Iran bombs Israel with Nuclear bombs then the whole of Arab countries will be affected. It is a double-edged sword. Also, are we talking fission or fusion bombs or even dirty bombs?

indeed, when I heard the keynote of Colin Powell at the PMI Symposium (think it was 2008), he referred to himself as a lifelong project manager. His thoughts on leadership included the wisdom of 'Do not motivate, inspire'.

Here is an interview with him

To put this into context: I believe he brought much pain to humans across the world and is responsible for much unnecessary killings. He certainly served as a fig leaf for neocons.

He is a good example that project management is NOT good in itself. Ethical behavior plays a role in being good, and I do not mean the PMI Code of Ethics, which is practically impotent.

Hi Keith I get your point but I just wanted to set the base for further discussions by providing information concerning the discussion. Basically, there are many fallacies. 1. E=MC^2 does not apply to any object's mass. It applies to unstable materials such as radioactive materials used in Nuclear bombs. The calculation also depends on whether we are using fission or fusion or chemically based nuclear weapons. 2. The energy and breath force of the explosion can be estimated by using E=MC^2. But the actual mass called the critical mass should be calculated exactly to have a precise bomb. So if we cannot calculate the radius of the effect of the breath and energy released in the explosion as well as the travel of the Nuclear cloud, then we should use the weapon carefully and only after much thought. A similar situation arose in with Nazis using Mustard gas. This lead to my question: can we calculate the EXACT formula for e.g. a fission bomb using enriched unstable Uranium? In fact, the EXACT equation had been calculated during the 1980s but I do not think it has been published for the public eye. My aim was to act as a wise man to say "slow!!! and think before using Nuclear weapons."
