All you need to do, is figure out a way to use electro magnetic radiation to slow down particles.

It's just a small technical challenge.

From these 2 sentences, I have written a 52 pages PowerPoint presentation to get funds from Wall Street.

I expect to find ~$2 bn.

Hah! My ChatGPT bot did 60 slides in 90 seconds, and submitted it hours before yours. See YOU in court!

Hah! Jokes on both of you, I submitted a super generic patent for "cold microwave" YEARS ago to leech off of anyone who manages to actually invent this technology in my lifetime. See you BOTH in court (and probably also jail)!

Technically that's already a thing. It is pretty expensive compared to a normal refrigerator though...

And if you manage that, you'll make Bill Gates and Elon Musk look like paupers.
