I believe they crush technologies, but most of the things you mentioned aren't true. There were no spaceships possible in the 1930s. Why crush that technology when they could have conquered the world with it? It's not possible to run cars on water. The thermodynamics just doesn't make sense. We have cars that run on biofuel, but mass-converting vehicles to that would drive up costs of food. Ethanol for fuel already does that by using farmland that could grow food.
Beliefism and contradiction asserted.
Foo fighters only showed up in the 1940s are you thinking? Or not even aware of those? Or the bell ("die glocke")? Nor my earlier examples looked into? Just presuming? If so, how? By mistaking absence of evidence as evidence of absence?
LOL. Fun way to answer your own question.
Indeed. Any who attempt to, seem to die or disappear. ... iirc, Stanley Meyers' famous moment, running out of the restaurant from a meeting with some potential "investors", shouting "THEY POISONED ME", just before he died, seems to serve (intentionally or not) as a warning and disincentive to even try.
Have seen each of the methods of catalysis and can refute each? That'd be thoroughly educational|entertaining|enthralling to see.
[Just remembered before posting... didn't one method use a combination of lasers and plasma... one of the cavitation methods... idk, been decades since looking into this stuff. Hazy tidbits of memories for the curious and studious to chase if they want. ... (Perhaps futilely) hoping websearch not so censored as cannot find this stuff any more. ~ Had to dig 100s of pages deep into search results even back then.]
Even before learning more about the states of matter that water can get into (including recent stuff on it being two different liquid states simultaneously), the magnetic alignment method has fascinated me (~ in passing... I've run no tests ~ dear industry, pls leave me be. lol.). It would be great to share an exploration of the various ranges, of state conditionals; of energy levels, types, frequencies and wave shapes; of cavitation, aperture, geometry; of ortho water and para water, ratios thereof; of water isotopes; ratios thereof; of impurities, solutes, salinity, ionisation, pH; and so on. To really draw out the more complete matrix of water's potential (~ at least in the mundane material utility sense). [/*dreamer*]
Anyways, the claims are out there. Mere nay-saying is an unsatisfactory replacement for refutation, especially amidst conflicts of interest and dogmatic world views that salaries depend upon. Closed minds are never wrong.
That was a test to see if you were for real. I have a new technology they don't want you to know about. I just need an investor to help me build it. It recycles your feces into more food than you originally ate. If McDonalds finds out they will kill me. I can get you in on the ground floor for $10000
the last point are just the current status. there are various approaches to solve those issues, which could be explored more.
one examples that comes to mind is ethanol from algae, which live in salty water. i remember seeing a documentary about it, staying that you could just place them in big tanks in the desert. there they wouldn't compete with food for land.
I'm not saying that this example solves everything, just that there could definitely be more research.
Certainly a part, a potential.
I wonder about coupling such with things like mycelia too, that can grow from radiant energy besides light, and can form symbiotic relationships with plants, and so, maybe (if this isn't too simple-thinking), yeast with algae, there could likewise by biological catalysis, synergies, mutual boons, that even then produce other useful stuff too.
~ that also got me thinking of the various pond surface plants, and how prolifically efficient growers they are too. Not sure how to put that to use, besides, idk, a source of protein and b12 for vegans.
~ and, not quite sure why, but that moonpool reforestation method springs to mind too. I don't know how yet, but put all these things (and more) together, and, ... good results. ;)
