That might in handy, if only we could tap into it.
- coremoff 4y agoin my opinion this is a little disingenious (the quoted line) - we know that our physics is incomplete; the discrepancy between observed and calculated vacuum energy is vast - it's sort of like our ancesters wondering if we'd be able to mine the cheese in the moon (but with a slightly stronger reason for believing that the moon could be made of cheese).
