I thought that the "holy grail" was unified field theory. I regard simple fusion as the "philosophers' stone".

An even *bigger* "holy grail" would be to discover a way to get around the law of conservation of energy (okay, "mass-energy"), thus getting "free" energy out of "nothing".

But portable fusion would be stunning.

While you are at it, better revise the Laws of Thermodynamics, too. Repealing energy conservation would definitely call for some serious blue-pencil on these.

Franklin Roosevelt solved that problem in 1932 when he re-invented the Democratic Party.
