The devil's parenting standards are surprisingly strict when it comes to ancient weaponry. Archimedes, the OG mad scientist, allegedly created a death ray by positioning mirrors to focus sunlight onto enemy ships, setting them ablaze from a distance. The physics actually checks out—concentrated solar energy can indeed create enough heat to start fires. Modern attempts to recreate this have had mixed results, suggesting Archimedes might have been history's first "trust me bro" scientist. Still, gotta admire a man who looked at the sun and thought "hmm, how can I weaponize that?"
