Dark Energy hasn't been in the news lately, but the heat is still on.
Check out the YouTube "Dark Energy - A String Theory Way" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epk-SMXbu1c and tell me what's wrong with it.

The idea is the same as an EV, with the plutonium continuously charging a super battery that runs the car.
You're right - the cost has to come down. That happened during the PC development, and we need similar tech geniuses for this.
Plutonium-238 can't be made into a bomb, but any radioactive material is decently dangerous. Where are those tech geniuses?
Got a better idea? The climate won't wait.

Why can't this work:
NASA uses plutonium-238 to generate electricity for satellites in its deep space missions. Using this general approach, can a car battery be continuously charged and that battery used to power a car? Sure, new tech would have to be developed, but is this idea impossible? @arxiv\_physics @physics@lemmy.ml @LHCbPhysics @dianna @physics@scipost.social #physics
Howard Jeffrey Bender @universeodon.com I've worked in and supported scientific research at NASA and the University of Maryland. I'm very interested in climate change, String Theory, and virus research. With Earthwatch I've helped scientists around the world with their research in biology, the environment, and climate change. I have a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland
