Gravity Could Solve Renewable Energy's Biggest Problem - CNN

While Swiss scientists may not be harnessing black holes from CERN to power bitcoin mining operations, they're using gravity in a far simpler and comprehensible way to ensure their chalets keep the lights on. According to Neil Lewis there's a new advance in energy storage technology using 35 ton bricks, and it's not a pyramid. There's plenty of other neat stuff facilitated by gravity, writes Gaurav Khanna, as Rotating Black Holes May Serve As Gentle Portals For Hyperspace Travel. While it seems ridiculous, Gaurav explains the concept simply to lure you down this provocative rabbit hole with a candle. Read about it in action in Joe Haldeman's The Forever War! And if faster-than-light travel can be achieved then time-travel should be a snap, but Barak Shoshany notes Time Travel Could Be Possible, But Only With Parallel Timelines. It's one of the ways of eliminating the problem of paradoxes but it's sure as heck gonna give historians a headache. For a little more on one of the potential problems with Shoshany's big idea, dig Alfred Bester's The Men Who Murdered Mohammed and why timelines might be cleverer than us. And with all this zipping across the universe and across the aeons, while lookng out one's windscreen one may apprehend an eerie glow analogous to what's seen while the Millennium Falcon jumps to hyperspace. It's the elusive Unruh Effect and Physicsists Are Embarking On A Hunt For A Long-Sought Quantum Glow without invoking science and technology yet to be imagined, and it has curious implications for our understanding of the universe.
