entropy implies no energy is truly renewable
some just waste less matter and and don’t kill the planet as fast
energy generation is a zero sum game

if you used the output of one fusion plant as input to increase the energy of another you could probably create heavier elements

what if dark matter and energy is like just the accretion disk of the black hole that is our universe?
we can’t interact with it directly because it’s on the outside
but its still exerting forces with everything inside
due to opposite but equal forces

with the irony that it releases entropy to create a magnet

chemistry involves the formation and movement of atoms and their constituent particles in spacetime
the energy is still kinetic even when it’s chemical

how to create a consciousness out of fungi:
• establish a healthy mycelium
• insert optical and audio sensors
• give nutrients when signals are sent to incentivize processing
• repeat signals and give more nutrients to incentivize memory
• let this system run for a while

here’s one for materials folks 😉
kinetic energy takes time to propagate
so with the right metamaterial
a cable pulled from one end
could stretch
and when pulled from the other
hold against the pull
asymmetric cable
bye bye resonant frequencies
or like maybe at least 🤷♂️

build analog sensors that combine signals and toss in memory

so thinking of a telescope technology
basically just a tiny feedback loop
some light passes directly through the eyepiece
the rest cycles around and interferes either
• constructively as stronger signal
• destructively as weakened noise
only blurring time by a few nanosecs

rigid structure
feedback points with lower resistance
the vibrations merge back into each other
at half a wavelength phase shift
then just fibonacci these around
in different sizes to form a base
should do bang up job
of cancelling vibrations
or maybe not 🤷♂️

with a bit o practice you can put your subconscious into a superposition
just let all perceptions wash over you
wait for the information that collapses it into an instant answer
our thoughts operate at the quantum scale so this ain’t just a metaphor
