ER=EPR: the wormhole connection

The ER=EPR proof is a theory that suggests that entanglement (ER) and wormholes (EPR) are equivalent and can be used to explain certain phenomena in the field of quantum mechanics.

Grid energy storage cannot be scaled with traditional lithium-ion technology.

Some challenges with lithium-ion batteries:
-Thermal runaway due to generated heat.
-High commissioning costs
-Complex maintenance requirements

I asked partners from VC firms like Sequoia, Bessemer, and Lightspeed what traits make founders successful.

Between seed stage and unicorn status, the business model or market can change, but the founder has an outsized impact.

Here's a thread on the 7 traits they identified 🧵

Ending human dependency on fossil fuel will require a mix of technologies and innovation.

What climate technology are you optimistic about?

[AG @A17guac]

Use water for energy storage instead of chemicals?

Renewables alone cannot meet the baseload grid energy demands.

This happens when the generation from intermittent energy sources is low or demand is high specially when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.

If approved, it will be one of Canada’s largest climate change initiatives, reducing GHG emissions by an average of 500,000 tonnes; that’s the equivalent of removing 150,000 cars from Ontario roads, all while providing clean, carbon-free electricity to nearly a million ON homes.
