“Click” applies to atomic and nuclear fuels and materials — to all things, not just click chemistry<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The conditions for assembly have precision geometric and energy constraints, but once satisfied the pieces snap together every time. The interesting ones are those where the atomic energy stored can be released later. I have been calling those “atomic fuels”. They have potential for KeV, perhaps MeV, lossless reversible storage of electrical energy. A battery or capacitor with KeV bonds would make an electric vehicle battery shrink from what we have now back to the old “car battery size”. Rockets with 100 meter tall fuel tanks and requiring “carry oxygen too” would shrink to 1 meter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I doubt CERN LHC would be involved, they only bang things together blindly, throw away 99.9% of things that do not support their narrow goals, and celebrate when they find a broad resonance no one can use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Precision assembly is required and desirable. But it means mastery of all atomic chemistry below 1 MeV most urgently, and below 10 GeV as well. All that data they throw away never examined, never seen – could be shared with all humans, fresh eyes and open methods. I would bet on new countries, new industries and new approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I hope one day to see with 16 significant decimals in energy, orientation, angular momentum, velocity and response functions. And full 3D simulations of the fields for reactions — before they spend 10s of billions of dollars more on “bang bang”.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

There are a lot of good groups around the world now, and many that actually use open sharing and collaboration, not limited to a few thousand people only at approved schools and countries. Private corporations might get things working first because the reward is “solar system exploration and development”.<\/span><\/p>\n

TeraWatt Days?\u00a0 PetaWatt Years?\u00a0 It you can write it, probably future generations can do it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Much of what the “click chemistry” group did was to focus on essentials, not “bang bang”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It should also apply to extended atomic bond materials that are 1000s of time stronger than steel, thinner and lighter. So your “starship” skin is 3 microns not 3 millimeters, and atomically smooth and frictionless.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
When AI groups learn to share responsibly then precision can be applied to everyday things like food, clothing, tools, learning, working, fairness, caring about all humans. And “click” can be applied to all things as a conscious and deliberate thing, not just the lucky laborious effort of a few.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I just realized it means you can capture the heat of reentry and store it for later use. High heat conductivity and direct electric to nuclear or atomic storage. Now I say “atomic” for KeV bonds, and “nuclear” for MeV bonds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was a bit tired when I wrote this. There are a lot of good individuals in the CERN network. The click equivalent of what they did is much more compact and usable. Do we blame individuals, or their lack of effort towards integration and understanding and sharing? I will keep looking.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Even if I point out where they can improve substantially, they are too closed. I wonder who inside feels it is too rigid and vague and inadequate?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I am checking how they constructed their models. Then did not organize and make them into real tools for future generations. Just endless fragmentary guesses. All that data wasted. Now any next generation makes much of that obsolete and useless? You could drop most of it from the Internet and would it matter?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Maybe they can clean it up and start over. All these decades watching them and hoping for their success. And they never standardized their mathematics, their code, their data, their units. And left it as paper instructions, not even a perfect AI could read unambiguously. A bunch of “look what we found”. Little “here is how you use it to solve the problems and issues facing the human species.” All the writings that I found that seem to matter were not integrated into a whole, just stuck onto a giant poster board.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I will check to see how they have impacted learning in the world. But there are much more important problems in the world. But is seems such a waste and a disappointment.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I am tired. When groups really focus on fundamentals, you can do in days what takes decades. They tried to put their theory of measurement and science in the hands of mathematicians who do not use the computer, and who do not really care much about producing things that work or are useful. No wonder it is impossible to trace because the mathematician were making it up as they went along, then did not go back to check and clean it up, to automate and verify and share in open format for the world.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The whole enterprise is justified on “we make news with big technology, and the Nobel committee rewards big bang no matter what.” Then “superstars” and “geniuses” can get away with being incomprehensible, or are encouraged to new heights in incomprehensibility.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They used “no visible units and dimensions” forgetting that editors, writers and readers, even humans inside their network, ccannot faithfully transmit that stuff without error correction losslessly. So they wasted opportunities they would have seen, if engineers could see it clearly, even high school students and young graduates in all the young countries.<\/div>\n
