What exotic science fiction technology would you finance research into, if you had billions of dollars?

May be poulsen treatment or immortality cruciform from Hyperion. Not sure if immortality is such a good idea though. Throughout history horrible dictatorships tend to end after the death of the despots. Imagine if these horrible people are immortal...

The terror usually doesn't end when the dictator dies today he just gets replaced by the next in line, but even, having the entire human race go old and suffer until death to alleviate the dictator problem is maybe not the best way to do it?

that's a no on the cruciform for me, dawg. Yeesh. I'll take everything else from there though, Poulsen, hawking drive, farcasters (maybe without the yoke of the AI techno core though), etc.

I also kinda want fatlines for no lag online games, haha. Though that'd be stupid expensive.
