This is what I worry about with fusion, it's not going to be used for free power for the world, it's going to be used to power war-machines.
- XorNot 4y agoWhy though? The only value of a black hole you can build would be as a doomsday weapon: do what we want or we end the world. Except...that's been the case since the Cold War with regular nuclear weapons. As for fusion: you need to do more research. We've had fusion bombs since 1952. Practical fusion power for electrical generation is what we don't have since the constraints are very different.

- rolph 4y agoyou are suggesting singularity munitions, as others have before. the process is not known but the desired product is- arbitrarily create an unstable singularity that converts surroundings out to a radius into energetic content leading to explosive "jetting" and gravity wave propagation until spacetime re-normalizes.
