Would be interesting to know the exact power input needed compared to expended, how it scales. There were also fusion breakthroughs recently, as well as the Nature article I posted here about Earth-based energy transmission. Exciting time to be alive.

Kinda silly turn of phrase "strange but less offensive idea"... as if the universe / God cares about our shock and offense... they burned people back in the day for being right and offending the current understanding of things. When it come to advancing math / physics, I think the policy should err on the side of "shock and awe"
