    Well, first of all, with our currrent understanding of physics, reversing entropy isn’t even theoretically possible. Second, solar fusion has been happening for billions of years. It’s how the sun works.

      Yes, but advanced physics systems like string theory have been building up logic systems for a long time.

      These logic systems can solve problems statistically.

      The main problem with current solar fusion systems in labs is that a greater proportion of energy is lost than gained. And yes, scientists can gain energy using tiny amounts of matter.

      E=mc^2

        Many problems can statistically be resolved, that’s not the problem. The problem is that it needs to be solved realistically. We can’t magically grab a giant ice cube out of nowhere like in Futurama, even if that would statistically solve climate change.

            As long as you actually support getting funding to these people and actually support implementing when their solutions are proven to work. Starting with the solutions we already know currently work. If you’re not a scientist, it might feel the same as just praying for something good to happen. Just understand the people in white aren’t going to come out and say “we solved it all”. Have realistic expectations.

              I am a scientist who understands statistical probability distributions. I am also an optimist.

              I think the future could be a utopian society where everyone cooperates without worrying so much, like in some sci-fi TV shows.

              Many other people have also believed this in the past.

                  Actually I think he’s just high. I was talking to this same user yesterday and he wasn’t anything like this. I was actually thinking to myself he was one of the most intelligent and levelheaded Lemmings I’d talked to. Give him a couple hours.

                    I’d hope so, and not just a lucky streak from an AI that makes it seem extremely coherent. I’m not trying to take the piss out of them too much, but their responses do really make less than normal sense. But there are some minor signs they’re human, hence my stated uncertainty :P Let’s hope they get back to it soon if they are indeed human yes.

                  You made those odds up based on your own systems. Your belief systems are probably mostly based on Newton’s Laws, which are a highly advanced subset of science that can sometimes be wrong.

        Turning mass into energy still doesn’t reverse entropy.
