What are "the others"? Non-matter? Anti-matter? Non-Dark Matter? Matter is well defined by Einstein's equivalence principle: E=Mc^2, but what are "the others" it is interacting with?

"Dark matter interacts through gravity but not light"? What is implied here?? I would argue that more accurately, dark matter is observable through gravitational anomalies, which has nothing to do with interacting with anything, including gravity or light.

Just because it is called "dark matter" doesn't necessarily imply that it has anything at all to do with "matter". Presuming that the term "dark matter" would be analogous to "matter" in some theoretical way, and therefore must exist in our universe in a corresponding "anti-dark matter" theoretical way, would be removed from the process of scientific exploration or critical thinking, since that is not how dark matter has been observed in our universe.

The descriptive words humans have devised to describe our reality are just that, human derived. Matter, anti-matter, and dark matter exist regardless of whatever names humans have assigned to them. Just because 'anti-matter' exists in our scientific lexicon (having observable traits) as a word implying the 'opposite properties of matter' means nothing about the observable properties of 'anti-dark matter' whether it exists or not. The fact that we do not even have any ability, scientifically, to observe the actual properties of dark matter within our scientific understanding of reality at this time implies that no, 'anti-dark matter' doesn't exists, presumably only until someone observes or predicts it. Arguing that 'anti-dark matter' exists on the basis that 'anti-matter' exists simply ignores the scientific method.

If an electron were to become exposed to a positron in a manner within which they could become entangled, they would annihilate. The resultant photons would be entangled, but their respective energy/momentum values would depend on the incoming electron/positron momentum/energy values.

Air conditioners aren't a source of energy because they don't provide more energy to the system than they consume from the system in order to be operational.

There is no difference between a spatial dimension and a temporal one. In reality, there can be infinite spatial and infinite temporal dimensions. It just so happens that we live in a universe with 3 spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension. Doesn't it male sense to engage with that physical reality?

It isn't a medical issue, or a public health issue. It is an economic issue. Pollution is widely recognized in our capitalistic world as an externality that just is. In other words, a 'public bad'. Mandatory vaccines are a public good, in the true sense of the word. Having a central government pay the cost of administering a vaccine that will improve public health and reduce risk/remediation costs will always be more efficient than if every individual in society had to pay those costs themselves. Economies of scale.

How do quantum computers compute? What computational processes, or algorithms, do they use that are different from our conventional computers? Do they take a binary input and split it into an infinite number of things? Or is it a statistical probability based on a superposition of an infinite number of possible outcomes?

If this were true, there would be no observable evidence that any entropic or thermodynamic law exists. How do you hold 'higher energy particles you have in a separate place'? You would need energy to 'hold' those particles. Also, a phase change requires an activation energy, which is more than the ambient. It is admirable that you are trying to solve some serious problems human kind are facing, but if your solution is a perpetual motion machine, there is a mistake in your reasoning. As Homer Simpson has made abundantly clear, "in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics".

Change the goal. The French economist Thomas Piketty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Piketty) has demonstrated, using 250 years of historical data, that the wealth gap increases as long as the rate of return on capital is greater than the growth rate. Every institution in the western world (including governments who are trying to maximize tax income) are trying to maximize return on capital. Growth is good if it is in the public interest. If we only want growth because it increases our returns on capital, inequality is the result.
