i know where your coming from, what amazes me are
String Theories

Hasn't string/superstring theory been eclipsed now by the M-theory (which I've heard variously described as 'mother' theory, 'matrix' theory and as 'membrane' theory.

This theory neatly answers the problem of 10 dimensions vs. 11 dimensions that dogged basic string theory, and is probably the closest so far to the fabled 'universal field equation'.

I can't find a simple link to paste from, but I'll look it up

Doh!

I see M-theory was mentioned (albeit in passing) in that article!

That'll teach me to read proper. :iraqi-info-minister:

just read about this one..............

in the next 2 years, TARDEC, which is basically an AMerican tank research facility, will be adding an upgrade to the MPH used on the battlefront.

MPH is a mobile parts factory that literally makes missing/broken parts for vehicles in the field from computers that then control autolathes/welders etc.

However this new upgrade uses a printer Called LENs. This printer deposits a fine path of powdered steel in 3-D, which a trailing laser then fuses together, layer by layer at a rate of 3.5 cubic inches per hour, which then creates a new part!!!!!!!!!!1

do you remeber that scene from the 5th element film where they rebuild Mila from a recovered hand?

Well they`ll br doing that for machinery, and its all part of a process now known as desktop manufacturing-------Star Trek is almost here!!

Any other New Scientist subscribers on here? Always good for stuff like this. Good reading if you want to go to sleep too, not boring or anything like that, it's just that the NS writers seem to be good at sending you off to sleep.

Which reminds me, they did a short article on yawning, it's weird how even when you're reading about it, you end up yawning yourself!

See?
