gollark: How weird.
gollark: How odd. You'd expect them to have direct mass→energy conversion or something ridiculous like that.
gollark: If you convert, I don't know, a few hundred tons of mass to energy, you could *probably* blow up the earth?
gollark: Ah yes, so now you need to have insanely huge amounts of energy, very helpful.
gollark: You do need to have available matter to convert on the other end, and the whole concept is very hard to implement.
