How Will the Third and First World Will Be Changed In 10 Years if Fusion Physics Is Viable..
There are many who say that fusion power may be viable in just 10 years. It actually may be even sooner with research like focus fusion by Lerner, where a proton and hydrogen atom's opposite charges are used to to create fusion by the implosion of the electric field of the proton and atom that would then slam the proton and neutron of the hydrogen in a more dependable way with enough force to make them fuse. These and other plans such as my own ATOMIC MOTOR may realize the vast potential of safe atomic energy.
What would be the effect on the world economy? In principle because these machines could be made portable or large it would make all machines like common household appliances powered by electricity much stronger. But the change of the most major sort would probably be in production. Each production line would have more power, and this would make the price of almost all anyone could buy much cheaper. You may say, this is bad because for example if in chess or as in life, you don't favor an equal exchange of power, a piece for a piece, because the side with more power is taking away your fraction if you have less power so the side with less power is exchanged down to loss of the game, so this wouldn't be fair to the poor. But the good news would be that unlike an equal exchange of subtraction, there would be a proportional increase in wealth. If the poor person has a wealth of 1 and the rich person has 10 at the start, and then both rich and poor become 10 times richer, the poor person has 10 and the rich person has 100 but the relative ratio of the two is still one to ten! But the poor person is 10 times richer relative to the physics of biology and exercise shopping at the stores, and the rich person who already probably bought all there was at a certain level of wealth, if they haven't already become ill because of the wealth they probably never would, I never have been!

You may say if they have these fusion mills with cyber robots doing all that labor, it might seem good at first but all the strategic minerals will be used up much more rapidly, and the world would then be so depleted of resources it wouldn't be worth it. More good news! With more power all materials could be recycled and we'd never run out for a million years!

The possibility of a fusion would seem to change the world economy in another important way. With huge power giant machines could extract billions of tons of gold in suspension in the world's ocean water. Before fusion all plans to extract this gold have failed because the machines to make it viable were more expensive than the gold that would be reclaimed. This might seem to be like Spain in the years following the conquest of Mexico by the conquistadores. The gold so glutted Spain's economy it lost advantage with the rest of the world. I think it's not as simple as this because if going off the gold standard because gold is no longer precious is so bad it would have already caused harm, and behavior about overpopulation by increased Competition for reduced Resouces, not the gold itself seems to be the cause of the debt the world is having now. Gold has been around for millions of years and most people weren't in debt in the Bronze Age. Anything relatively scarce can be used for money and there always will be at least something that can be used for money. I think I'll invent giant gold VISA wheels, where will I find a big enough wallet to store the reciept! I've had this intuition about the real cause of Spain's defeat in 1588. I think it was not so much because of the gold, but because after the conquest of Mexico, the Spanish started to look ahead to the future and realized that many people would always think of the Spanish conquistadores who did this as villians, and their conscience became a burden. Words may be more powerful medicine than any prescription ever invented and no doubt the constant bad press the Spanish no doubt got from the rest of the world I think may have had an unforeseen impact on Spain the Spanish hadn't thought of leading to their loss of advantage. Some more gold may not necessarily be bad.
If all goods will be cheaper because of fusion, this may have major impact on history in countries like Russia or the nations of Africa because one of the main causes of the separation of rich and poor here historically has been because of the weather. In Russia for example the royalty was in power all the rest were so poor because it was unnatural in evolution to live that far North. The rich were the only ones able to afford to live indoors with the fires kept burning without so much effort that they had other time for other activities. Obviously today as well, if you go outside and it's 40 below or 110 all the time it's going to influence what you think and feel. For the countries with extreme outdoor weather more power would make it so that they could afford more heat and air-conditioning and larger buildings such as luxury condominiums, as well as better health care. So fusion would also cause more overpopulation, which may cause more problems with increased competition for the most important resource of all room to live. But because of the room problem we'll have to reduce it anyway and if we can reduce it for one reason we may also reduce it for others by whatever science may be (see above link above about overpopulation). Nonetheless fusion if achieved may make so many of the third world nations rich, democracys may take hold and thrive, and so may become a major influence on the future history of the world. I believe they want democracy, or if they were able to afford at any rate they would achieve it. As I say on This Link there is a moderately high to strong correlation between available resources like good weather and greatness or poverty in the history of civilizations. Democracy thrives in health and moderate wealth, and bad weather is unhealthy. Good weather and wealth created by fusion power may be the answer.
