[quote]This car race involved years of training, feats of engineering, high-profile sponsorships, competitors from around the world and a racetrack made of gold.
But the high-octane competition, described as a cross between physics and motor-sports, is invisible to the naked eye. In fact, the track itself is only a fraction of the width of a human hair, and the cars themselves are each comprised of a single molecule.
The Nanocar Race, which happened over the weekend at Le centre national de la recherché scientific in Toulouse, France, was billed as the “first-ever race of molecule-cars.”[/quote]
I look forward to the inevitable sponsorship of nanocars, although I suspect Viagra and Cialis may pass on this opportunity.
I don’t even begin to understand what goes on these sort of cutting-edge quantum experiments, but it sure seems neat. What kind of crazy stuff is this leading to?
I’m reading a science fiction book based on quantum messaging that explores things a bit. Being fiction, I’m not sure just how much I would lend to it, but one of the effects of quantum communication is that time is not a factor either. The book explores messages to the past.
Clever bot programmed to respond to replies with simple language replies of it’s own? I am by no means an expert in the design of bots, but it seems plausible, particularly as an actual reply would notify the bot and prompt a programmed response.
Seems the posts have been removed now. I am always wary of very new users bumping very old threads (as he did in the chair thread) with a random product recommendations and little in the way of exposition in any post anywhere.
