What would you do with unlimited energy, with the exception of exploiting it for money purposes?
>>
I can't even start to think about what free energy would mean for humanity.

AI, automation/robots and free energy. You could set up a base on the moon just for the fun of it.
>>
>>7722100
Start making matter out of energy

This. Found a company to build go-anywhere spacecrafts since we can generate our own reaction mass now.
>>
Desalinate huge amounts of water, turn the deserts into grasslands as far as the eye could see.
>>
the universe would collapse instantly due 2 infinite energy

Terraforming is a nice idea. Wouldn't this extinct many animals in this areas though?

Not many animals live in the desert though, and who cares about a couple nasty scorpions loosing their habitat?
>>
>>7722116
AI requires more than energy. Someone has to invent it first.

Well you're obviously too fucking retarded to understand the implications of removing all the deserts.

I have almost no knowledge of ecosystems, enlighten me.
And we could always leave Africa as it is.

reduce matter to energy, then use the energy to make matter... gg

This is the current state of /sci/

I'd keep my New Year's resolutions to exercise and study instead of 4chan, youtube, and anime.

You have no idea what you're talking about you dumb fuck.

>>7722701
He's talking about pair production. It's a real thing, look it up.
>>
>>7722722
I know what he's talking about.
Shut your mouth before you embarrass yourself further.

Having unlimited energy also means that you have unlimited matter. There's no such thing as "pure energy".

Hence "creating matter" is an asinine response.

1. create a process of creation of self replicating energy dispensers, self replication designed to work in geometric progression
2. start the process.

impressive digits

>>7722769
If we United several galaxies together, wouldn't time be different all over the established "federation" depending on every planets orbit??

Like, warping to a planet that orbits 3x faster than earth for a year and then warp back, time will be all different n shit
Doesn't sound very good
>>
>>7722214
Your dumb, energy == money and labour is a commodity filthy commie
>>
>>7722790
Are you seriously suggesting that time speeds up and slows down relative to a planets orbit?
A second is a second m80

Congratulations, this is the perfect combination of stupidity, ignorance, and autism.

This is one of those posts where I can't tell if you're a particularly stupid troll, or a particularly stupid sincere person. If you are trolling, it doesn't really improve my estimation of your intelligence, because there's no wit, no cleverness to it.
>>
>>7722828
I would ask you to prove that "pure energy" exists, but it would be useless because you're worthless, you will only come up with useless nonsense as replies. You're the typical newfag /sci/tard who is full of himself but knows nothing. Kill yourself.

I wish I could believe that. You wouldn't be missed.

I would make a the world's most powerful weapon that would render someone un-reparable no matter the technology and impossible to extract anything from ever.

Then kill myself with it.

I would rule the galaxy with my unlimited power!

...there are more effective ways to kill yourself without having to go to the expense of developing such a complex device, anon...

Theoretically speaking

How?

Either you're crosseyed, or you're stupid.

Or both.

Or you're one of those people who can't hit a broad side of a barn with an ICBM.

Have you heard of Miguel Alcubierre?
>>
>>7724289
Has he built one? Has he even proven that one can be built with current Earth technology? No? Then it's not real.

>>7724327
>Has he built one? Has he even proven that one can be built with current Earth technology? No? Then it's not real.

....so in other words, you don't know who Miguel Alcubierre is.
>>
>>7724327
He uses General relativity to build a consistent theory of one, but he calculated that the energy needed to make one work is equivalent to the mass of the observable universe. Nasa brought this estimate much lower, only a ton of mass worth of energy would be needed.
>>
>>7724374
NASA didn't prove shit, it was probably that idiot Sonny White. Gog I hate you popsci retards. Go jack of to the EmDrive.
>>
>>7724390
Let me help you in the right direction. Buy a triangle interferometer calibrate with mach's principle. Measure a femto second of a planck scale sized object (for instance an electron) and compare within an increasing lorrentz field. BOOM you just curved space time by a tiny tiny bit and you have your warp drive. Making it into a practical mean of transportation is of course impossible but warping of spacetime can be done.
>>
>>7722100
Depends on whether our methods of energy delivery were still constrained as well.
>>
>>7724327

TIL that unless you can do something with current technology, it doesn't exist.
>>
>>7724374
Or, general relativity isn't a complete and perfect theory.
>>
>>7722100
I would make unlimited pancakes.
