@JenLucPiquant Lmao, that's a sci-fi article masquerading as science.
The proposal isn't "jaw-dropping". Rather, it's "laugh-inducing."
Can't call something a plan if it has ten steps labeled "Wait for someone to invent something to solve this gigantic problem."
@markmccaughrean @JenLucPiquant Wow, she appears to have blocked me for pointing this out 
@LouisIngenthron @JenLucPiquant Strange. Not me … so far 😬
@LouisIngenthron @JenLucPiquant Exactly – I’ve read more plausible “plans” in actual sci-fi novels. Just because someone with academic credentials sticks something on arXiv doesn’t mean it has any engineering or scientific credit. I’ve read it – it’s almost completely devoid of any substance. It’s just clickbait & Forbes has fallen for it.
