i see. so the former precludes the latter?
Ok, so why is compound interest a scam in your view?
Well I might not be sleepy any more but my body will still be tired as hell.
Isn’t this how cocaine got popular?
And if you are divorced her lawyer can impute wages for 24 hr/day work...
Ah. So that's what happened to my sex life!
Why? They're outdated - get dental implants. See, this not only lets you NOT sleep, but save time by NOT brushing, nor wasting money on dentists! It's a win-win all around!

Nope.
Any idiot with a reactor can transmute elements.
People are working on 'zero point' energy to extract usable power from quantum mechanical vacuum fluctuations. Also there are several commercially products that do 'energy harvesting' to power flea watt electronics...
Isnt this the same as Provigil.
Damm non-clairvoyant spell check.
*grumble grumble grumble*
Really? Someone has a reactor that transmutes lead into gold or another base metal. Got a link?

How are these perpetual motion machines?
It can be done, but it is a very expensive way to make gold. Transmuting elements has been being done deliberately since the early 1940's.
The medical industry depends heavily on synthetic radio isotopes.
The semiconductor industry used 'transmutation doped' or NTD - 'neutron transmutation doped' silicon, it's the only way to get even phosphorus distribution, as higher concentrations of phosphorus tend to segregate out in a melt.
How are these perpetual motion machines?
Zero point energy, would be an infinite source of power as the quantum fluctuations (the generation of 'virtual' particle and antiparticle pairs) are a fundamental part of the universe.
Commercial energy harvesters generate useful amounts of energy from stray radio waves, environmental vibrations, changes in temperature or pressure. In principle, a vibration energy harvester could extract energy until the whole universe is near absolute zero. Not quite infinite, but close enough!
And LSD, IIRC...
The abolition of sleep will transform society in ways that we can’t even envisage today.
Imagine how much more man can do with those eight extra hours a day for work, leisure and study.
“Any idiot with a reactor can transmute elements.”
Wasn’t that tried at Chernobyl?
;-)
I get your point and maybe this is just me but I was thinking of practical methods of transmuting lead to gold, which do not exist. But your point is taken
Regarding energy harvesters and potential zero point energy are not technically perpetual motion machines unless the change in entropy is zero
Cellular repair only occurs during REM sleep.
This is insane. There is a reason for sleep.
