Altman's specific chronological roadmap: 2030 'wildly abundant' intelligence + energy (unlocked via AI + Helion fusion 2028) → 2034 humanity mathematically cracks high-energy physics → 2035 space colonization begins in earnest → 2036 commercial brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) achieve mass viability. | Helion first commercial kWh delivery

Key catalyst: Helion first commercial kWh delivery

Watch events: Helion Orion plant delivery; physics breakthrough candidates; first commercial BCI

Altman medium/podcast essays 2025-2026 articulate this roadmap. Helion 2028 fusion target public; 2034 physics / 2035 space / 2036 BCI are aspirational but-internally-consistent dates.
