When you have a huge amount of energy, you could create matter from it.
Matter creation happens as creation of particle-antiparticle pair when very high energy photon or other particle interact with matter.
Let's simplify things and say we have power to produce photons with energy of 2GeV. This is enough to create proton-antiproton and electron-positron pairs. Proton with electron is an hydrogen atom, Antiproton with positron is antihydrogen atom. Also, we could get neutron-antineutron pairs too, and create more complex atoms.
So, with enough energy we could produce useful atoms. Then we coud use it as classic fuel to fry eggs or combine it with another atoms, say oxygen and get water, or say carbon and get whole variety of hydrocarbons. Creating and combinng different atoms we could get any molecules of chemical substances we could wish. Combining molecules in certain order we get real things we need.
Well, to create things in that way we need enormous amount of energy. But that's not the problem, because for each particle we create, we get an antiparticle as byproduct. And combining antimatter with any matter we get annigilation that produce same enormous energy we spent to create matter we need.
The whole cycle of making goods from anything will look like
- energy -> matter + antimatter
- matter -> goods we need
- antimatter + anything ( garbage or, say, soil ) -> energy
here we need only to compensate energy losses, and resolving technical question of efficiency it could be relatively moderate amount.
If a person have a powerful energy source, then this person could have anything he need for life, regardless of environment, up to space and other planets.
Then, the whole concept of money, profit and so political and economic power, which are foundation of modern world become null and void. You don't need money if you could make anything you want by yourself. Moreover, you don't need government, economy, trade and all that stuff. You don't even need protection from any third-party, because nobody need to stole anything from you, and you could have enough firepower to stop some insane idiot who didn't yet get that it is a bad idea to attack a person who could have a power of a nuclear bomb in his pocket. So the question of mentally ill idiots who can't live without bothering others will resolve itself quickly.
Not hard to imagine that there is no place for modern elites in such world. They will become just regular people without any power and fame, because they have no any merits. And that is why elites afraid of any real techological progress, and trying hard to divert human ingenuity into different shitty directions posed as "progress" like "AI", EV, "green energy", economy, social networking and so on.
Destruction of modern clown world order should begin with development of personal independent power source with a power output up to few megawatt. This is the only way I see to defeat clown world order. Everything else will just end with nothing. Elites will easily direct any efforts to change something politically or economically into vapour, as they always do. Individual power source of high power will destroy the foundation of elite power over people.
Of course it can be monopolized. Who is controlling nuclear power plants, random people like you and I? Of course not!
NPP is designed to not be personal source of power. Intentionally.
However, personal nuclear sources of power is possible and real. Examples are betavoltaics and RITEGs.
Ok. But such tech is so far off in the future, and gives off barely any usable energy. Also, health hazards and compatibility issues abound. What's it cost to make em? Material requirements? Technical expertise? You quickly see how the theory is untenable.
Yes. But that is not an excuse to prevent research in the areas that could be used in distant future to develop such technology. Every technology we use today have a long chain of previous developments that made our technology possible.
In 60s weak 1mW red HeNe laser cost thousands and was a laboratory equipment that perceived like SciFi or magic. Today 10mW red semiconductor laser cost cents and is a toy.
In normal world, useful scientific discovery becomes part of everyday reality relatively fast, it is a question of engineering and using known technologies to make it cheaper, safer, easier to handle.
However, in modern world some fundamental scientific discoveries. like nuclear fusion reactions, which could be much more effective than fission ones, forced into a trap of endless building of overpriced designs or raw scam projects. Something like "We pay you money for not building something working".
There are many very interesting and very promising fields in physics that just didn't get necessary financing or declared "weird" or "unconventional", like Casimir cavity phenomenon, Nimtz FTL, Stewart–Tolman effect and so on.
Look at things that percieved like dangerous magic in the past, but today are juat things we don't even notice. Power sources are not exception. There is enough technological and engineering knwoledge to make even nuclear fission power source compact, easily serviceable and safe. Aforementioned RITEGs with a constant power of 1-10kW and lifetime of decades was mass produced by thousands for powering distant locations, expeditions and such. Thousands of them are simply lost. But there was no any dangerous accidents with them. Something that could be stretched as one is a case when some junkies found one RITEG and in hope to get some copper or whatever thing to sell, spent few days sawing outer shell of fuel element and finally got some non-letal, but harmful radiation dose. There are many ways to do something stupid with things we safely use daily and die.
Not my position.
Which consumes power. Generating it is a WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL.
How big are they? I'm thinking of a little battery thing you can carry around. You must be thinking of three-story-house size reactors.
