The young dental student Jorge Marcos Cordobés (@joma_cordobes) shared a video this week inviting Cubans to focus their minds and transmit that energy to the Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Plant for a good night's sleep.
It seemed like a trivial joke, but Jorge got quite a scare when that same night, due to the mysteries of universal energy, the Guiteras went out of operation due to an unexpected malfunction, causing the disconnection of the National Electric System (SEN).
In the video Jorge appears with a friend and explains: "We are medical students. We don't know anything about electricity, but we know that neuroscience states we are 97% energy and 3% matter. Quantum physics, with its 'yes and vice versa,' says that where we focus our attention, that’s where we place our energy."
After presenting his proposal, the young man urged Cubans to concentrate all their mental energy on a goal that could reverse the country's energy crisis and allow people to sleep well, at least for one night.
"I invite all of you, residents of La Pine and Cubans around the world, to take a good look at La Guiteras, to see if we can get some electricity to sleep with tonight because I can't take it anymore." Jorge's friend couldn't hold back his laughter and let out a loud chuckle.
The video went viral, but the most surprising part was yet to come. That night, the Guiteras experienced a breakdown, and all of Cuba was left in the dark.
Román Pérez Castañeda, the technical director of the plant, said that the breakage of a pipe in the lower area of the boiler caused a water leak, loss of airtightness due to gases, and a fire. In other words, so much energy caused the old thermoelectric plant to collapse.
Jorge posted a second reel on Instagram this Thursday. He warned that it was "an ecological video" and explained that he removed his call from social media to prevent a new collapse of the system.
"I want to make it clear that I'm not talking about anything, because the only things I know about are enamel, dentin, and pulp. Let's leave it at that," the student commented, waving goodbye to the energy enthusiasts in Cuba with a smile.
