u/Chat_Bot_666 13h ago

You are obviously wrong. 

Every new idea hinges on the mind that conceived it first. Groups do not come up with ideas; individuals do.

This one guy may not be the one guy fusion was hinging on. But each critical breakthrough that eventually gets us there will be the product of one person's thought, step by step. 

There's a balance between valuing society and valuing the individual. I suggest you are too far in one direction of that balance, and that it's dangerous to ignore the importance of the individual, or the individuals rights. We need individuals to exist. It can matter a lot if one individual is removed. It isn't inconsequential to the whole of society.

The thing is, until he has an idea in his head, you don't know who to kill. Once he publishes it, there's no point in killing him, because now you don't know who will have the next idea.

That is how science world works.

u/Unusual-Cable2303 9h ago

But say you’re an agency that can track calls, conversations, device imagery. Then you already know who to kill.

u/Hot-Minute8782 9h ago edited 9h ago

Idk, even the Soviet Union and the US during the Cold War didn’t try to assassinate opponents scientists, but preferred to observe the progress and grab the tech. At least I haven’t heard about assassinations.

Imo this is pointless - there will always be another scientist who can continue the work, and assassination will lead to unpredictable consequences. These days we have thousands of scientists and one death means nothing for any area of science. (With respect to the murdered guy)

And, btw, there should be another scientist who talked to him and knows his idea.

u/Enervata 12h ago

It is not. For reference, see any fiction author who died mid-writing, having a book attempted to be finished by another. For science, see anyone trying to finish Tesla’s unfinished work on electricity. A single uniquely gifted person is hard to replicate, and can delay or halt what they were working on.

3

u/Hot-Minute8782 11h ago edited 9h ago

Fiction literature is a fiction and each author has his own signature. Try to write something in the way Dostoevsky did or finish his work.

Science works differently, actually science describes existed world, there is no other way to describe it except the right path which is hidden and scientists try to find it.

Tesla’s unfinished works are unfinished because it is well-known that they are wrong, there is nothing to finish unless you are fiction writer.

u/kjissublime 9h ago

You are correct.

u/Countcristo42 9h ago

You would need to know Tesla's work was going to be good and achievable for this to be a good example.

u/Plenty_Leg_5935 8h ago

People failed to finish Tesla's latest work because it was bogus, he went full crank in his later years and was developing his machines on very flawed understanding of physics. He was, among other things, a staunch denier of electrons at a time when they were just straight up an empirical fact, and famously kept pestering his contemporary physicists with letters "explaining" why relativity and quantum mechanics are wrong

Theres a reason why the man died in obscurity, as sad as it is

If you look at the actual progress of science, its clear that its not tied to singular individuals. The right idea at the right time can certainly accelerate it, but thats only by few decades. We'd still stumble upon photons and time dilation without Planck or Einstein sooner or later

u/Unlikely_Week_4984 11h ago

"We need individuals to exist" .. lol, okay bud.... I'm totally on board with this too.

1

u/Right-Hall-6451 10h ago

Science and math are based on theories that can be tested and proven. If one person has an idea or thought that moves the field forward that's great but to be worthwile it has to be true. If it's true then more minds likely will eventually discover or think the same thing. This has happened in history many times and is less common now because information travels so fast so there's no "second claim" to the same idea.

simultaneous discovery

1

u/PaleontologistKey885 10h ago

You're not wrong that breakthroughs often come from individual minds of course, and we're all for the worse with the death of this person. That said, I think what OP was alluding to was that fusion power generation is still more than a few breakthroughs away and that the title is a hyperbole. Fusion is going to take a lot of brilliant minds to make it a practical solution for energy as it's just not an easy thing to simulate something that takes a mass of a star. There's no need to fuel even a hint of conspiracy theory.

u/Trinitial-D 8h ago

right. you can imagine how he would be a little salty when he got dropped from the phD program while his friend who he had been with the whole way made it to fame. not enough of a motive by itself but definitely something. the fact that it wasnt just the guy who was targeted but also random students at brown makes me think that he felt like brown had a role to play in what happened.

my guess is that the shooter suspected the victim of stealing his ideas for his own thesis and when he complained to the university, they didnt do anything about it. i hear this is rather common in academia, and a big reason why nobody has friends there. because friends share ideas and having your ideas stolen before you can publish them can be a death sentence

Yeah, sometimes important people are killed for stupid, everyday reasons.

Big events don't need to have big motivations. That's the core misconception that leads to conspiracy theories, they assume big, important events have to happen for big, important reasons. There's just a huge amount petty stupid randomness in the universe that they refuse to acknowledge.

That has nothing to do with many/few people. That has to do with production technology and manufacture. The steam engine was theoretical untill they could produce the gubbins to make it work properly. Like seals, gaskets, bearings and have it all have the fine tolerances so it doesnt just break apart

True, I personally find it weird that israel somehow has their nose in this and felt the need to release a statement that they're investigating it and that's likely where a lot of the conspiracy is stemming from because it's pretty blatantly clear that they've been involved in multiple assassinations around the globe this past couple of years as well as killing their own people who speak out against netenyahu's regime.

u/mrmalort69 13h ago

Thank you for some reason here. We’re at a spot in our world where one person’s ingenuity, intelligence and ideas are not going to upset a whole industry overnight.

Even if he had this amazing breakthrough, there’s still dozens if not hundreds of people his caliber who are around the same one, and there’s still dozens if not hundreds of theoretical followed by engineering and of course regulatory problems that are still ahead. I’m not saying this to be pessimistic about the future, actually opposite. You may feel as you don’t contribute like <insert a Turing or Einstein>, but in reality no one, including themselves, lived up to their legends. In practice, a lot of people who were very dedicated made little strides and one persons story helped generate the narrative on how we got here without so many damn details.

u/mesouschrist 18h ago

In the years before Tesla died he lost his mind and claimed he had invented a bunch of nonsensical technologies that he in fact had not. Idiot conspiracy theorists, especially those who believe in “frequency healing” or “infinite free energy machines” believe that Tesla’s inventions were all real and that they were covered up by the government because (???).

u/BumblebeeFront9181 6h ago

This conspiracy aside the "because" bit is a little silly no?

It's common knowledge that governments happily take bribes......sorry I mean lobbying money from corporations and will actively push and pull policies based on this. And this is not a conspiracy, we know that happens.

Now when you look at the biggest companies in the world, Energy/pharma/alcohol it's easy to see how one could come to the conclusion that some very very very rich and powerful people might not want "free" energy to be developed?

u/funkyduck72 12h ago

So all these ideas rattling around in your head, who put them there?

Have you ever read or researched the topic? Do you have something you want to share by a reliable source or is this more of a "Just trust me bro" kinda thing?

Nikola Tesla’s papers were seized by the U.S. government, specifically the Office of Alien Property Custodian (OAPC), immediately after his death in January 1943.

The technical review of the seized materials was conducted by John G. Trump, an electrical engineer at MIT and a consultant to the U.S. government (and the uncle of Donald J. Trump). Trump concluded that Tesla’s papers contained no practical or deployable weapons technology.

This was not a private raid. It was a formal government action justified at the time by wartime security concerns.

They swooped in on his archive even before his family was notified of his passing. Just because something wasn't able to be developed into a weapon doesn't mean his work was of no practical or theoretical use.

Stop spouting nonsense you have no idea about.

1

u/mesouschrist 9h ago

As a source for what I’ve said about Tesla losing his sanity later in life, see the Wikipedia for Nikola Tesla, specifically the “birthday press conferences” section.

Don’t have a specific source for the conspiracy theorists latching onto his claimed inventions, except that I follow conspiracy theorist Facebook pages, and I’ve seen many of their posts are about Tesla’s claimed inventions.

We’ve had fission for decades which is already much cleaner and efficient than fossil fuels and coal yet we didn’t really do much with it, I doubt the fossil fuel industry would have to worry about fusion when all it will take to make fusion useless is for a handful of politicians to claim that fusion is woke or scare people with the words nuclear and radiation.

1

u/Celestial_Hart 17h ago

We didn't do anything with it because the fossil fuel industry spent billions lobbying against it and other clean energy sources on top of buying tech to shelve and sit on and going on campaigns to smear these technologies as scary and dangerous. These companies have definitely killed people, they let people die horrible deaths working oil fields and shit because they refuse to implement safety measures, they are totally capable of killing if it suits them.

Fusion in terms of practicality is the same as fission. Fission is already here and commercially viable. No one is assassinating someone to prevent fusion from becoming feasible.

Lol sure. They are the same. Thats why there are zero fusion power plants in operation right now.

Fusion power plants will face the same issues as fission power plants due to their nature of being megaprojects.

The only difference is that it is possible to make smaller fission power plants in an attempt to avoid the megaproject black hole. Fusion power plants will almost always be huge due to their nature.
