I don't know why you got downvoted, this is genuinely the most likely reason. If they had proven this technology, they could fund themselves. Right now they just have a hypothesis

    Because Lemmy has that single person that downvotes everything. They probably think it's their "cool thing" and we're all wondering who it is and are always talking about them, but no one notices. It's just normal to see a single downvote when there's many upvotes.
