Nick, I believe your attitude is very wrong. If scientists had that
kind of attitude, nothing would have been invented, not even the
wheel...LOL
If you want to see what scientists (not laymen like me)
are working on, just take a look at this long article
http://www.
eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=51200440
This sounds like pure
sci-fi to me, but experts say this, not Captain Kirk. I strongly
recommend this reading to anyone with an open mind. These exciting
things may be feasible for our children, or maybe even for us.
Regards
Fran
