As long as there is Oil to be extracted, and coal to be mined, and gas to be fracked, there will never be unlimited free energy.

What about thorium? The LFTR I believe it is the future, please respond! :D

@beatles61 It's not only him, it's knowledge.

Bad news: Knowledge is addictive.

Good news: But it's mostly harmless (depending on how you use it) and it won't affect your life unless you get psychotic over it or spend all day with it (hindering your other routines or necessities).

sad to hear only fusion is the future would be nice to have some other alternatives available When are we getting our space elevator and build our mega solar collector belt around earth

I think I get a release of dopamine when I hear him talk... I don’t think I need my anti depressants anymore.

@kikonrose Actually, we have proven black holes. We have even observed their byproducts and measured their gamma radiation, which is actually how we found them. As for getting to one? Forget it. That won't happen for a while and anything that we could send to further define it through closer observation would be destroyed in the process.

I am very upset after reading some of the stupid comments about black holes below...

@Realmslover I'm not sure whose side you are supporting with that comment, however I do believe you are right.

@timoteoman13 Aw, America. We began by showing the world what advanced citizenship looks like, just as other cultures have done through out history, and now we are choking on our own decadence and delusion. We have certainly entered our pubescence.

@kikonrose Explain to me how we don't know a black hole already exist. I thought Stephen Hawking already ended that debate. If you are talking theories look at your theory of God. Don't throw physics and facts around if you bring God into the debate for it is much greater stretch than Dark energy or dark matter. So don't preach about theory. Why can't you just except scientist like the Dr. here have a better understanding than you or I. Also dark matter does take up space, research the topic.

@timoteoman13 look man i understand wat ur talkin about but your speakin theoretical..meanin in theory in other words ideas of your imagination and im speaking in facts...first of all you CAN see the dark! and its not matter because like we all know matter takes up space..and we cant see the black "hole"cuz were not 100 percent it even exist!!..oh! we cant see the air but we can feel it,and make it!!!!.my comments are about physics and facts not ^^theory^^ ;)
