Where Does It End - The Space Elevator
A cable anchored to the Earth's equator, reaching into space. (Tsiolkovsky, 1895)
A counterweight at the end keeps the center of mass above the level of geostationary orbit.
Inertia ensures cable remains stretched
Above the geostationary level, climbers have upward centrifugal force.
The cable must be made of a material with a large tensile strength/density ratio > 100,000 kN/(kg/m).
Optimize EM energy harvesting versus statics / potential differences.

Invention and Innovation
short run, this complementarity is not perfect; it is indeed possible to have one without the other.
But in the long run, technologically creative societies must be both inventive and innovative.
Without invention, innovation will eventually slow down and grind to a halt, and the stationary state will obtain.
Without innovation, inventors will lack focus and have
