If you ask yourself the right questions you'll find that there is a ton of material on the web regarding the sciences and technology behind how the vehicles operate.
However it's a lot like a jackson pollok where the dots are all different sizes and colors but they DO connect.
Unfortunately once you've put it all together, it's a big no no to post it. So yeah, research thread dies. But rest assured, I have tons of stuff I could post if it were prudent, which it isn't.
Seriously folks out there are twitchy about this sort of info disseminating.
I personally feel it's like that because A. it's always nice to have an advantage on science.
B. More importantly if you dig deep enough and search hard enough you'll stumble across something specifically that was discovered that rightfully should be held secret because it's very, very dangerous. even if you had good intentions, playing with that something, could accidentally be catastrophic.

The thing you have to understand about big oil....
They're "big" ... and I mean some of the largest companies on the planet. Exxon, Shell, BP -- all these companies have 50 year plans stretching out into the future that take into account a myriad of possibilities.
Before the gulf oil spill, BP was one of (if not the) the largest investors in alternative energy. Most people don't know that though, because of the way the investments worked. You wouldn't SEE BP's name on a company, they used shell companies to obfuscate the links between them and their investment holdings. They had to sell off a LOT of assets though to cover the cost of that oil spill though...
Anyway, big oil isn't "freaking out" -- they more than anyone have been preparing and know what is happening. As I said, they have financial forecasts and business plans that extend 50+ years into the future. They aren't going anywhere. Oil does more than just power our cars...just about everything from plastics to dyes is made from oil. Just look around and you'll notice how much "stuff" is made from petrochemicals.

For the example the other week 'Plectonemic Hexagram' was the first thing I could remember after waking up and I have no idea what that even relates to.

like the whole graphene is a superconductor from the Weird California Sighting thread which was only proven last month. Those kinds of observations.

My intent with my post was to show what A_0 posted a few years ago that only this year has been proven true--and specifically graphene as that was the topic of discussion at the time.
ATS link, July 2014: Weird California Sighting - p20
Physics.org, Feb 2016 Graphene becomes superconductive—Electrons with 'no mass' flow with 'no resistance'
These are the types of examples I was going to point out. It begs the question, "If this was being discussed in 2014 then how far back would the tech have to go to not only have been built as a prototype, tested, and then a production model built when the technology was only "discovered" last month?"
That seems to be a decent enough discussion point. And no, I am expecting any answers, just a point to talk about here.
How many more can be pointed out?

Big oil has invested in the new fusion tech one of our weapons manufacturers so i woudnt be so sure yet about oil being here a long long time (as power production that is)

I have a...suspicion that "economical fusion" has been around for a bit...just not "here".
Many, many political and economic reasons why it's a taboo subject for us folks here on Earth.
