https://phys.org/news/2019-08-breakthrough-enables-storage-mechanical-energy.html This is a sketchy report by someone whose mind was obviously just as blown away as anyone else's by the discovery. What the paper doesn't tell you, is that this can be used to create a Super Nanoscopic Maxwell's Demon capable of sorting any energy and information without ever having to expend any energy in the process. If you turn on the air-conditioner, it can pump heat out of the house while crunching the numbers on your computer, without ever requiring silly things like electricity. The room temperature superconductors required were just patented by a DARPA scientist, and this particular discovery is just the tip of the iceberg, the first radio that proves its possible and radio waves are not just a fantasy. I will have to stew on this some more, because its more proof that imagination is more important than knowledge. You could say sound waves and mechanical motion are exposing their quantum nature as proof that reality itself is self-organizing. Forget about fancy waves in a bathtub, reality itself displays particle-wave duality and the passage of time inevitably displays self-organizing and emergent behavior. Using this, you could possibly defy gravity and exploit zero point energy, but it could require a more complex analog design, roughly four times more complex, but the computers can already handle all that crap easily. What all that implies is that causality has no meaning without reliable memories, and our universe is asymmetric, resembling the memory of God. Whether you consider reality to be changing or not, to be a memory and fated or whatever, just depends on the observer. Even whether we are constantly moving from one universe or time line to another, must inevitably remain a mystery. The only obvious way to resolve the issue once and for all, is to use this technology to entangle the human mind and brain and establish it as reflecting the quantum observer effect. Create a human singularity of sorts, that reflects the collective unconscious, and is magically self-organizing, producing unpredictable results. Language is yet another tool, and information is magical, trumping even mass and energy, and it is not merely our technology that is rapidly converging on the singularity, but the ability to manipulate waves like magic is evidence the recursion is rapidly collapsing, and the truth is about to be revealed.
