Comment on Alchemy is so hot right now.

It would be like a quantum computer breaking Bitcoin and so we fall back on Ethereum.

I don’t know, if you gather one proton’s and two neutrons worth of energy, localized entirely within the supposed space of an atom, you could generate mass from energy. However, what that energy converts into, is entirely random, so I would guess most of the time you just get realllly high energy photons out of it.

so we just smash thosse photons into each other until we get a hydrogen! by josh you’re onto something

You have seen the equations? 99% you don’t get anything useful or somehow split the fucking universe, so that time-reversed flow of information won’t break the causality. (And it fucking does break the universe, the local bubble we are in. Please, don’t google false-vacuum.) We don’t even know the speed of light in one-direction, because information travels at the fucking speed of light, whatever that it. Yet, you measure a spin of electron, and the other fucker in the opposite side of the universe, is known to be opposite in the instant.
The action is minimized by nature, in one way or other, even if this means punching a hole in the space-time continuum, to start a tree-of-universes descending from the host.
