a) what is the physics?
b) why didn't the USSR win in Afghanistan?
It certainly wasn't because of morality or human rights issues. After all, they left booby-trapped *children's toys* scattered about to maim and kill curious young boys.

Without commenting about physics itself i am sure you can agree that physics as we understand it today is not just a refinement of physics as we understood it one hundred years ago but in some aspects is completely contrary to what the community believed about it...
b) why didn't the USSR win in Afghanistan?
Why isn't the USA winning in Afghanistan or Iraq? What does 'winning' have to do with technology?
Yet, as Khrushchev unrolled some details, he made it clear that he was not being a bit impractical. "Our air force and navy," said Khrushchev, waving a stubby finger at his listeners, "have lost their previous importance. Their arms are not being reduced but replaced. We have cut down and we shall even discontinue the manufacture of bombers; already our armed forces have to a considerable extent shifted to rocket and nuclear arms. The proposed reduction will in no way reduce the firepower of our armed forces, and this is the main point. . . Soviet scientists have made it possible to equip our army with weapons hitherto unknown to man."

Calling all ATSers to come in and investigate this issue and put some one's mind at rest! This has me very worried!
Please reply with information of any kind , research anything. I would like this Debunked or Figured out just how much of a threat this is in reality.

OK, maybe I"ll be more clear. The USA deployed all technology that it could other than nuclear weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq.
If there were some magic superphysics I'd expect it to be used.
Is there any evidence this is something other than guided rockets with nuclear warheads?
In 1960, especially for somebody who wasn't that smart like Kruschchev, these were hitherto unknown to man.

These superpowers sure have interest in building weapons of mass destruction so they can have power and control over others. I can't even influence my kids to get their heads on straight let alone control them. Maybe I need some magnetic zapper or something
