ooh–ooh I graduated from UC Berkeley. Bout time someone else does something cool that did not come from the UK or M.I.T. go Bears hey phil (sorry to thread jack) how would you spell words like “offer” “ophpher”? always wanted to ask you that. ---

Why do we always go smaller? I say we go bigger: Berkley should stop wasting their time building things people can easily step on and ruin. I say build a motor the size of **Jupiter**. ---

nano bots are cool, but i think superconductors are even cooler…specially some of the latest work done on them. Like that american guy (with russian name) who created an object (superconductor) which goes against the theory of relativity by forcing objects AWAY from itself in a reverse gravity type of thing…very weird and very hard to understand but definately the way forward…both US and Europe are now building massive power stations which use superconductivity. Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the european one…cool name to hehe 🙂 [[SIZE=3]superconductors[/SIZE] ](http://superconductors.org/) ---

Superconductors are the future.
