The smarter Arabs will be contemplating the day when their oil reserves run low. That will entail their economy being wrecked anyway. If they can jump on a new technology and develop it while they still have huge amounts of money, they can avoid that... everyone will have their own reasons for tryi...

you have a FTL communication device... ...although presumably vehicles (automated or with people in them) will still be limited to sub-light speed... But once you have communication, that might be coupled with a "Surrogate" like robot drone for effective telepresence. Or couple it with the ability ...
All reference to the "BlackLight Brainchild" has been removed from the public forum. There's no way to know whether this early experiment based upon Mills physics, to create a self-aware computer; was successful or not, because even mention of it has been sanitized from the web . I only know about ...

As much as scientific results are put up for peer review, ideally any code used to process experimental data being equally subject to peer review. Unfortunately than may expose more intellectual property than a paper would. One of the big issues not mentioned in the article is understanding the doma...

Just thinking out loud... How is the hole left in the source by emission filled ? Otherwise a positive charge will build up at the source and any emmitted electron will be drawn back to the source. How is the plate on the other side maintained at the same potential as the source? They must be electr...

That looks interesting. My work involves going to client sites a lot for commissioning support callouts. I've been considering having a doc-control system where each laptop has a local copy of client history and programs, so that you have everything you could possibly need when the heat is on. I lik...

+ Phase 3 being "in-design" for "full scale 100MW" - which I guess finalises previous discussions regarding 100MW versus 100mW. I never understood why anyone thought they would build a net-milliwatt-output machine. You'd have a hard time even measuring that against the necessary inputs to get to br...

Transmission costs are largely a 'fixed' cost, that is, you can deliver more electricity without the actual costs of maintaining the infrastructure going up much (well, maybe not completely - I'm sure there's some 'upper limit' on how much electricity the existing infrasctructure can deliver, and i...

Who is to say that the Tang inventors couldn't have produced their drink with private funds? A similar product may well have been produced by private funds - but where was the incentive? And what is the ultimate benefit to the taxpayer if they have to pay to develop the technology and then pay agai...
