Rob McConnell Interviews - ANTHONY ARMSTRONG - NJ-12 Nuclear War Survival Biosphere Project

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Anthony Armstrong, M.Eng., P.Eng., a Canadian engineer, author and researcher whose unusual NJ-12 Biosphere Project asks one of the most sobering questions imaginable: If humanity failed to prevent an all-out nuclear war, could enough people, knowledge, technology, plants and animals be protected to allow civilization to begin again? Armstrong says his interest in nuclear survival developed after working in a short-term scientific and technical military-intelligence position at Canada's National Defence Headquarters. His engineering background has also included electronics, solar-energy research and intellectual property. Armstrong's concept eventually became The NJ-12 Biosphere: How to Survive “The End of the World as We Know It.” Published in 2020, the science-fiction story follows Nathan Daniels, an engineer who develops a massive self-contained Biosphere Dome City after exposure to military planning convinces him that some means of preserving a remnant of humanity would be necessary following nuclear catastrophe. Armstrong describes the concept as a kind of modern-day Noah's Ark, intended to shelter people and preserve elements of Earth's biological environment and human civilization for potentially hundreds of years while the outside world recovers. But Armstrong's thinking extends beyond fiction. He has continued developing what he calls a Biosphere ARK Dome City, proposing highly advanced technologies for energy, protection, transportation and eventual ecological reconstruction. Some elements of his proposal—including zero-point energy, force-field protection and zero-gravity craft—remain speculative concepts and are not established technologies demonstrated at the scale his project would require. Armstrong nevertheless argues that contemplating the enormous requirements necessary to survive a nuclear exchange may itself serve another purpose: reminding humanity just how catastrophic nuclear war would actually be. Join Rob McConnell and Anthony Armstrong on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a journey into nuclear survival, engineering, biospheres, underground and protected communities, advanced technology and the preservation of civilization. Could a truly self-sufficient city survive years—or generations—isolated from a devastated outside world? How would we preserve food, water, medicine, genetic diversity, animals, plants, technology and human knowledge? And perhaps the most important question of all: rather than figuring out how humanity could survive World War III, shouldn't our greatest technological achievement be ensuring that World War III never happens?
