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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children) so we just smash thosse photons into each other until we get a hydrogen! by josh you're onto something permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JATtho@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (1 child) 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.
