Hi @Erin , thanks for your continued interest in this topic.
Thanks for being blunt. Bluntness is good for saving time.
Let me address some things you said:
Pursing this is not useful because, even if you could make a discovery, it would not possibly be useful until literally 100 quintillion years from now
That is simply just not true. If we had infinite energy tomorrow, very soon after that, we could solve all problems solvable using resources. Let me present a list of stuff we could do very very soon (likely <10 years, extremely likely <100 years):
solve climate change (trivially even!)
solve all basic necesities of people (food, water, clothing, shelter)
solve all non-basic necesities: cars, airplanes, mobile phones, laptops—you name it, we got it
interstellar travel: Yes, people would already be flying to Alpha centauri and lots of other places. They would even reach them in “a few years/months” (a few years for them, but lots of years for us back on Earth)
There is lots of potential here, but I found that if I start talking about all the things that could be done, people are actually
To think that you could transmit this knowledge that far into future doesn’t make any sense.
Based on the refutation above, this point does not stand anymore.
You say that physicists have told you that they are, but do not discount the possibility that they were simply being polite, or that your questions were misinterpreted.
This is an awkward argument to address. Sure, everybody I ever met could be lying, and there’s always solipsism. Same argument applies to everyone. I don’t think this is a healthy way to continue a conversation—throwing doubt into what people say. It’s not healthy compared to an alternative that fortunately enough, we have:
I am currently reaching out to more and more physicists, and asking them for their opinion on this. I am posting updates regularly on the discord server that you can find on http://infiniteenergy.org . If you are interested, you’ll find there how much physicists are interested in this.
If you have any idea of what I would need to show you, so you consider there’s enough interest from the science community, I’m all ears.
Please however let’s avoid distrust-based arguments in the future, and let’s replace them with data-based arguments.
I’d avoid them first of all because, being from Eastern Europe, I am not aware of the existence of people who would not call an idea “stupid” right off the bat, instead of being polite, if they had the slightest distrust in it. Am I wrong? Not sure. Am I lying? You can’t be sure. So let’s let experiments decide :)
I genuinely think it would be a mistake to pursue this idea at all, even from a theoretical perspective, because there is essentially no chance that you are onto something real, that you can make progress on it with the tools available to you, and that you can communicate it so clearly that you will be taken seriously.
@Erin, I can’t fight belief. If you believe this idea is wrong, there’s not much point in talking.
Sure, you said “think”, not “believe”—taken, however thinking and reason means explanations, justifications, models, and logic. Do you care to justify:
Why you think there’s essentially no chance that I’m onto something real
How I would not be able to make progress on it with the tools available to me (the internet is my preffered tool)
That I wouldn’t be able to communicate it well enough to be taken seriously
That I won’t find other people more capable than me in any of the points above
I understand that this might be a deep emotional backlash. Humans have emotions, yes, unfortunately at times.
I’m however looking for supporters, and there will be only so much time I will spend on arguing with non-supporters. If you don’t want to believe that people are interested in this, feel free. If you want to see what actually is happening, check out http://infiniteenergy.org
It kind of feels like all I have so far was said. I don’t have more data at this point to get you more toward “omg, this might be possible after all”, but I am eager to hear your arguments, that might get me more toward “omg, this might actually not be possible”—as they say in startups: “negative feedback is the best kind of feeback”.
