Bloody Tories - Big Bangs with no planning or thought about the effect on the environment. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

To understand the universe as it was at a very early stage, you need to access energy regimes that can only be reached with particle accelerators like the LHC. The spin-offs from CERN et al. have been immense. Including, but not limited to the World wide Web. Development in superconducting magnets, required for these types of experiments also had applications in, for example, fusion generators.

Now, they didn't actually teleport it - like Blake's 7 teleport it - but they made the same proton appear in two different places at the same time. The near-term benefit of this is for basically instantaneous internet. Expect to see this deployed first - as is all new internet technology - on a p* site, but the obvious advantage for communication and command & control applications is obvious when there is literally zero lag on internet connections.

I was 4 in 1969, and I remember my parents make me watch something on a tiny black and white TV. I am concerned that I may not live long enough to see man walk on Mars, because I'd really like that.

I find the idea of space fascinating, I'm not sure of the Big Bang theory because I'm not sure one large explosion gives birth to billions upon billions of stars which stretch over millions and millions of miles but something but the planets there... finding the answer would prove science right but will it do away with religion? What is the void we find ourselves in? Where is the edge of space and what does it look like on the other side if you could see through? Are we just pawns in an alien snow globe? How did so much water find its way to earth? Is the centre of the earth really hotter than the surface of the Sun, or is it hollow like some have suggested? What's on the dark side of the moon and why haven't we been back? What are black holes and will time travel using them ever be a thing? Is the earth flat and is everything we've ever been told in the story books a lie? Is Nibiru coming to get us? Stay tuned and keep your eyes to the sky lol.....
