Promethean Particles

Promethean particles are hypothetical concepts used to describe the fundamental building blocks or "catalysts" that could enable or enhance physical or chemical processes, particularly combustion. Named after Prometheus, the mythological figure associated with bringing fire to humans, these particles are thought to facilitate energy transfer, making reactions more efficient or controllable. While not confirmed by experimental evidence, they serve as theoretical constructs in scientific discussions about advanced energy systems and the potential for new materials that could revolutionize energy storage and utilization by improving how we initiate and sustain reactions.
