but its a tractor beam for godsakes...
star trek is becoming reality and I have absorbed too many psychotropics... but I bet Im not the only one who can imagine warehouse size beams evolving out of this equipment... Itd be one hell of a way to move equipment, maybe even almost negate those pollution crazy, diesel dinosaur semitrucks used all over the world. Thatd be kinda neat. -Oscar Wilde ZeroPaid UD homepage |

if they're manipulating hundreds of microscopic objects individually and simultaneously then it isnt that big a jump to doingit on a large scale, say shipping a shipment of produce across the country in place of trucking it. In theory, if it works in the microscopic world it should work in the larger as well, its just a matter of proper application.
20 years ago, there were still 'experts' who said that there was no need for your average consumer to own a personal computer. And now most consumers, at lesat in industrialized society, wouldnt know what to do without one. The technology is already there, its just a matter of time. -Oscar Wilde ZeroPaid UD homepage |
