The title only means two possibilities, which is:

- We do not have sufficient understanding of physics.

or, more likely:

- An incorrect understanding of physics.

Using a smaller energy to create a bigger energy, by doing so, we have created a perpetual motion machine, and violates either the first law of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, or both.

So,

my understanding tells me that it is impossible and whoever claim it is not they are bluffing.

But then, if,

I use 100s of quadrillions joules of energy to construct a robotic factory that able to do self maintenance, mineral harvest, automate construction of solar panel satellite and rockets to shoot them up to orbital to harvest solar energy and beam them back to the factory to create more solar satellite and after a while, I can generate way beyond 1000 quadrillions joules of energy. The factory is designed so well that it can self duplicate itself after acquired enough energy to another location or another planet, so after a while I can have endless factories controlling endless satellites absorbing solar energy all over the universe.

Screw the physics, did I satisfy what the title said?

Same way how you get down from 14th floor to 5th floor by using stairs instead of jumping off the window right away.

And btw, science discovery are usually made by answering stupid questions.
