Precursor technology is amazingly durable, and is | Precursor technology is amazingly durable, and is almost totally impervious to all forms of conventional damage. However, the [[Halo Array]]'s energy pulse has been shown to be able to utterly destroy Precursor structures. When Charum Hakkor was used as a test bed for one of the Halos, the weapon's firing shattered every Precursor artifact on the planet. | ||
Some Precursor technology is believed to be based on what Forerunners call "Neural Physics": The concept that inanimate matter and thought are inextricably linked. It is theorized that the Halo Array, being neurological weapons, are the only way to destroy or otherwise damage Precursor artifacts. This could also explain the lack of any Precursor ruins in modern society (2552 CE) as they would have all been destroyed when the Halo Array fired and sterilized the galaxy at the end of the Forerunner-Flood War. | Some Precursor technology is believed to be based on what Forerunners call "Neural Physics": The concept that inanimate matter and thought are inextricably linked.
