Using the bleeding edges of scientific inference, man now knows exactly when the universe started, when the solar system formed, when life began on earth, when the world was hit by an asteroid to make possible our existence as a mammalian life form, and when a few ape-like folks climbed out of the trees, and rode a camel to the garden of Eden (Iraq). We can now almost predict how many GIGAANUMS (about 5) it will take for the sun to explode and end everything we have done or could do. But who is counting?
The REAL unit of time for most of us living in reality is a major unit of time based on the life-giving, 24-hour cycle of the earth spinning on its axis and on its spin around the sun, and in turn the sun around an invisible BLACK (hole).
The major issue is that FUSION energy is being delivered for FREE from that sun to all the oceans of the world for gigaannums. That solar radiation is absorbed by the surface water and water droplets in clouds to heat the earth so that the temperature differences between the equator and north pole drives major weather movements (storms). The neat thing about storms (moving air) is that they concentrate that very inconsistent (time wise), low density (geographically) solar energy input into rather constant and powerful wind whose mechanical (aerodynamic fluid force) energy can be EASILY converted into the motions of an electric generator. If that electro-mechanical energy can be immediately converted into low voltages to separate common water into its hydrogen and oxygen atoms, we have a very practical way to "mine" the primordial energy of the universe that falls into our back yards (sometimes). Once we have hydrogen generated cheaply, we can use it to power aircraft that can fly us around this world (or at least to the office) CHEAPLY and without damage to the environment by burning carbon fuels. The only thing preventing that from happening in the 20th century was the lack of a good way to store that hydrogen in a personal vehicle... Fortunately for you, the visitor to the Gigmedia web site, we have a solution to that little problem. And if that solution can be developed within the next decade or two, then man will have all the energy he/she will ever need for several GIGANNUMS... THAT we can guarantee.
But what do I know. I am just the Director of GIGMEDIA CONSULTING.
