  • If you are standing in your shower (shower thoughts) and try to travel 200 years back, your location in space is not where the solar system, nor the earth was 200 years ago. So there’s that…

    Physics-wise, the only conceived ways to time travel to the past is either FTL travel or wormholes, with the latter requiring “exotic matter” to stabilize, and even then, you can’t go back to any arbitrary time. Nobody knows if exotic matter actually exists. FTL seems off the board.

    There are mechanisms in place to keep history and the past safe for historians.

    I think our global economy is safe.




















  • Superconductors can transmit energy with no loss. However current superconductors require very low temps.

    Room temp superconductors would open the door to much more efficient transmission of electricity in everything from the electric grid to your home computer.

    Now whether the LK-99 can be replicated reliably, verified to be superconducting and what the properties of LK-99 would be at scale would dictate how it could be used (is it malleable? does it wear? are there things that cause it to lose its superconductive properties?).
