Well I've had this idea for the longest time, but needed to say it here. This is my theory on how Halo destroys all life within a 25,000 light year radius.
Now Halo is a weapon, as we already know. But we have no idea how it works, or what is used to kill everything. Halo has been detonated before, as stated by 343 Guilty Spark in The Library. The problem is finding a way that would most likely kill off all sentient life. I think I know the best way.
Planetary disasters. Ever taken a look at that red storm on Jupiter that has yet to stop? Or the thin atmosphere of Mars? A planet that could have once been like Earth, but suddenly changed. Then there is the Great Flood. A planetary disaster meant to wipe out all of humanity. Who is to say (other than Bungie) that maybe Halo served a double purpose?
My guess is that Halo sends out a beam of energy in every direction that interferes with stable atmospheres and causes massive problems that take long enough to kill all life on that planet. Which then makes it so that the Flood can no longer feed.
All in all Halo causes massive disaster that takes forever to fix starving Flood. The end.
I also have some other junk that makes it seem like God is the Forerunner and vice-versa. Holy Trinity, " destruction is the will of the gods ", mistakes by the Covenant and such, but that is for another day.
So what do you people think on this half--blam!-ed theory?
