Now you add in an ‘if’.
Maglev and 'lossless' power grids? (talk about cheap power..) Why stop there? How about personal UFO's...a true flying car? Cold fusion around the corner next?
Sounds great - but I'm not holding my breath...
“True story. I remember the time I thought I needed some francium to facilitate an analysis. Imagine my surprise when I searched the chemical supply catalogs and couldn’t find any. Then I found out why I couldn’t.”
Thank goodness. You would not have lived to write about it.
By and large, the best engineers and scientists go where the money is being spent. The bit payoff for ambient temperature superconductivity is the replacement of the electrical trunk lines and grid, a move that will more than double its effective generating capicty.
Hi.
I’m waiting for see through aluminum, warp drive and some whales that need transportation.

“Electricity free at last! Free at last! Thank Fraud almighty, it’s free at last!..................”
Huh?
How is that cold fusion thing going, or is that some other group?
“Maglev and ‘lossless’ power grids? (talk about cheap power..) “
Power grids waste only a very small percentage.
“and I carried that watch up my a$$ for two years. Now little man I give it to you”

” The bit payoff for ambient temperature superconductivity is the replacement of the electrical trunk lines and grid, a move that will more than double its effective generating capicty.”
You are way off!
It's going really well! Current estimates are that we are just 25 years away!!
Maybe we’ll be able to tap in and leverage metallic hydrogen in very large planet cores and cool stars. Ought to be billions and billions of environments in our local galactic neighborhood.
But..but.. yeah I know but that’s how engineering works - get the principle from scientists and you get to workout the operational plan solving relatively minor su problems. Who’s in for investing in cosmos-energy & networking futures?
There really isn’t an, “if” about it.
Corporations would like soggy spaghetti, for the promise of guaranteed profits and owning their market. It happened in Nazi Germany. It happened in the Soviet Union. It in China. It will happen in America as well.
Trump is just a welcome delay towards that.
That’s what I get for using old numbers / old brain cells.

My favorite aspect of that movie was the scientist getting to be brought into the future ... so George and Gracy could have a caretaker~!
Francium has a half life not longer than 22 minutes.It’s amazing it was discovered at all.
