Similar statements were already claimed about nuclear fission power plants in the 70s.
- pixl97 9mo agoAnd your point is? Sometimes we make predictions that take hundreds of years to be turned into products.
- aleph_minus_one 9mo agoMy point is that you shouldn't believe in marketing claims that are obviously too good to be true, like > The second we're able to understand and capture this [cold fusion] energy, money literally doesn't exist. Infinite energy means infinite free energy, which would also abolish money from a fundamental market value perspective.
- pixl97 9mo agoI mean obviously this statement is false as we live in a finite section of the visible universe. This said beyond the marketing there is a reality that if cold fusion did show up that there is a singularity event that occurs that making predictions past that point will almost always fail as the world would change very rapidly.
