Humanity's Future - the end?

Erinaum has been looking into the use of Matter-Antimatter reactors, which would significantly boost power capability.  Right now, power generation is an issue.

Erinaum has been looking into the use of Matter-Antimatter reactors, which would significantly boost power capability.  Right now, power generation is in fact an issue.

If you can figure out a way to open dem probability rifts without using much energy to hold it open, you can attach a turbine to a wall and poor an extremely heavy fluid down a connection between the ceiling and the floor. The fluid will fall infinitely, the turbine spins infinitely, and you get infinite energy, as long as the power required to hold the rift open is less than the output.

Luckily, Gravitanium doesn't take relatively much power to use, so it can also significantly accelerate the fluid.  It seems easier just to make straight Gravitanium-accelerated turbines.

Lol if this stuff was added to Quanta everyone would be tripping balls.

Unfortunately, nobody's really posting in Quanta, although most of this stuff (as well as timeline stuff) was planned.

You planned to add Gravitanium?  Wow, when I first introduced the subject back in 6.5, I got multiple 10+ flame wars about it.  You should be safe, though I was thinking of making an adventure about it.

Things seem to have calmed down a bit.

Well, no new elements because to be honest there's no possible way it could be fit into the Periodic Table. Any traditional element we don't already know about will decay instantly. Exotic atoms, maybe, using muons instead of electrons, etc. I'm trying to make the adventure fit in with current theories of quantum physics but still have cool mechanics.

I meant the 4D connections, lol.

Gravitanium isn't your average matter.

Also, I forgot to add that the amount of energy required to keep a portal open is proportional to the displacement of the portals.  Naturally, if the displacement was 0, the energy required would be 0, since the rifts would be in the same place.  The further apart, the more energy is needed.  If the rifts are only 30 feet apart, then you have a relatively small amount of energy required.  With distances such as from Earth to Khon, you'd need a MASSIVE amount of energy.

Also, Deconcentrators can be used to force atoms to split, given enough energy.

1. Why the forget are we still using feet? After 70 years we still don't switch to a more civilized system?
2. What's a deconcentrator?

[SWAT One]

1.  Erinaum encourages people to stay healthy.  If you stay healthy, you get a break in your healthcare taxes.

Oh, you meant measurements.  Erinaum uses metrics, but imperial measurements were the first thing that came to mind.

2.  A Deconcentrator is a Gravitanium-based weapon that breaks apart mass by using turbulent gravitational distortion to tear mass apart.  For instance, firing it at a rock will reduce it to gravel, then sand, then a fine powder, and then it will stars decomposing the molecules into their elemental components, and then, eventually, it will decompose atoms themselves.  It depends how much power you put into it, and how powerful the weapon itself is that decides how much is broken down.  It's practically a form of destructive alchemy in the form of a beam.

1. I meant why are we still using the Customary System.
2. That... sounds really useful. Can they be used for converting mass to energy (E = mc²)?

1.  See the above.  I didn't know what you meant originally.
2.  Absolutely, though the Deconcentrators often overheat before reaching that point.  There are a few in existence that can.

I also forgot to mention that a lot of construction is done by robots with advanced AI.

Using a capable Deconcentrator could quickly solve both power generation and storage of garbage. As long as you have junk to disintegrate, you have craploads of energy. 1 gram of matter = 90 terajoules. However, it needs to be controlled extremely carefully. That easily surpasses the output of a traditional nuclear bomb, not including chain reactions with Gravitanium or Telur.

EDIT: Of course, much of that power went into powering the Deconcentrator, but it still provides more than enough power for how little fuel it uses. Especially considering you can use literally anything that has mass (read: anything you want) as fuel.

Telur is not affected by fission.  I will try deconcentrating matter

Warning: do not attempt to deconcentrate large quantities of Gravitanium.

Actually, I should just go ahead and start powering my ships with garbage.  That is, it would be deconcentrated first, though.

Also, my largest starship comes equipped with 4 fission reactors and 3 fusion reactors, so containing it is no problem.

Take warning. If you explode one of your ships, or fleets, or end up wiping out a large amount of your resources, do not hold me responsible. Run tests first to make sure you can contain and handle this kind of reaction.

See my last edit to my last post.

I forgot to mention that telur can act as a field force that can slow down kinetic movement of mass.  It's what used to be known as the "White Carbon Field."

Telurian Fields require a lot of energy, but they are used to slow things down.
