Dude that shit's crazy... went under the radar with all the other high-profile murder last weekend, but... wtf
Nothing to see here move along....
Hello dear, how are you doing?
It’s me Maye musk, Elon’s mom , are you a
fan of my son?
Major loss. Damn
damn it.
Why is it sketchy?
lot of powerful people with a motive to kill someone working on cheaper energy tech
why would powerful people have a motive to kill someone working on cheaper energy tech, odell
is there a historic assassination that set this precedent for you? is this speculation?
looney tunes with works cited or no dice
- Eugene Mallove (2004): A cold fusion advocate beaten to death. Officially a robbery/murder tied to a tenant dispute over evicted renters trashing his property. Multiple perpetrators were convicted (manslaughter and murder charges) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Mallove
- Stanley Meyer (1998): Claimed a "water-powered car." Died suddenly after dinner, saying "They poisoned me." Autopsy ruled cerebral aneurysm due to high blood pressure; toxicology found no poison. His device was deemed fraudulent by courts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_cell
- Rory Johnson (late 1970s): Alleged cold fusion magnetic motor inventor. Reportedly died after moving labs under DOE pressure. No verified details on cause of death; claims of suppression (gag orders) are anecdotal and unconfirmed. https://www.rexresearch.com/magntron/magntron.htm
- Arie M. deGeus (2007): Patented zero-point energy ideas. Found unresponsive in airport parking; autopsy suggested heart failure (natural causes). Conspiracy sites speculate assassination before funding meetings, but no homicide evidence. https://projectcamelot.org/degeus.html
Generally, it threatens the status quo which threatens there positions of power.
And another one. This is why we can’t have nice things.
The world is insane. People are getting murdered all over the place. I’m sure there is a story.
> Loureiro, who joined MIT in 2016, was named last year to lead MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, where he aimed to advance clean energy technology and other research. The center, one of the school’s largest labs, had more than 250 people working across seven buildings when he took the helm.
IF it was a conspiracy, I'd speculate that he had integrity and therefore he may have posed a significant risk to a massive fusion research funding grift.
I'm biased, as I believe many of these technologies that nobody can legitimately explain are fraudulent.
Fusion is combining elements to create new ones, it releases a bunch of energy when you do it, it's how the sun works.
You explained the theory much more directly and concisely than most PhDs.
Unfortunately, there's a vast chasm between theory and practice and the research industrial complex may be corrupt.
Similar to CERN and QC, billions in funding has yielded zero practical utility.
In just the last five years, VCs have invested over $10B in magnetic/plasma fusion reactor research.
CERN proved the existence of the Higgs boson.
Impossible to say what the utility of this will be in the future.
We’d be in a much more basic world without funding for science.
Scientific progress takes time.
They gotta build stuff do experiments, then rebuild things again and do more experiments.
Fusion has been demonstrated, it'll be another 20 years before it's a commercially viable option for energy generation.
But it has been demonstrated
Despite the PR hype, the feasibility of net energy production via plasma fusion reactor has not been demonstrated. They're not even close. The materials science alone may be an insurmountable challenge.
The problem that arises is that very few researchers are capable of making an accurate distinction between hype and real-world potential, particularly at the production system level.
These researchers and their lab directors are highly incentivized to error towards the hype end of the spectrum. If the guys cutting ten-figure checks had a clearer picture of the reality, they might reconsider continued investment.
This may be relevant to to the alleged murder.
If USA was the only country working on it you'd have a point.
The Chinese researcher that demonstrated it are state funded.
I think the biggest issue is that the elements required for the technology are incredibly rare.
"Awesome, unlimited and clean electricity generation"
*25 years later*
"oh shit we ran out of whatever that crucial element was called"
Fee energy ✅
Free energy 🚫
And of course theyre trying to pin it on Iran lol
Right around the time we start taking oil tankers from Venezuela.
Damn
lot of university profs dining on lead this week...
hmmm...
The only thing upstream to money is energy.
Yes we call this a Cold War and it’s been raging for over 15 years
Mandibles
I noticed a post from Elon Musk just This Week about how dumb it was to try and make fusion here on earth, something about how the sun is the biggest fusion generator ever, then rambles on about going to Mars.
I do not see the point and think Mars is more warning rather than a way forward.
Sounds like an energy breakthrough was made they would hurt fossil fuel profits and war mongers
When science and energy are controlled by institutions, truth always has a cost.
Decentralize everything.
Like the Val Kilmer movie, ‘The Saint’
You kids go watch it if you haven’t
I may or may not have had a brook-line pff cc association with all my wild creations and now link to a previous employer linked to that very area ~ all #minorityreport
imagine all the people that have been murders throughout history (before internet) for break throughs that we don’t know about.
This was the post. About one day prior.
Wasn't he involved in free energy... Or something? Teslaesque(ish)
Actually i was wrong. Not free but clean energy
They're getting a little sloppy. Gunned down on his front steps.
Damn that's crazy...
you catch the game last night?
Can’t help wonder if these two stories are connected.
What a WEIRD coincidence. Oh well!
I found this essay about it superinteresting: https://disinfo.zone/loureiro_chaos.html
Don’t worry, Kash Patel will get to the bottom of it 😏
Saw this. Apparently he had some of the same idea's that Tesla had, which makes it really sus in my mind.
Is this real
Sounds like it could be atomic?
Very. Also somewhat related…a Trump family (company) announcement today about a merger with a fusion company…
Rest in peace!
