You know that opening a Poke Ball releases a tremendous amount of energy, because on television they show a big flash of light. Imagine if you could open a thousand poke balls every second. We call that fusion. What MIT did was make it easier to open all these poke balls in a sustained way. This is important because once fusion is sorted out, our political leaders like Ted Cruz could use all that energy to do really interesting things. One side effect is that a lot of poke monsters will be released as well, which could cause problems...and so we as a society need to think about the long term ramifications.
