I've been really busy for the past several months, so I hope to fully engage in more discussions by January.

Thanks for the News Melt - exciting eh In the spring, a team will begin attempts to ignite a tiny man-made star inside a laboratory and trigger a thermonuclear reaction. Its goal is to generate temperatures of more than 100 million degrees Celsius and pressures billions of times higher than those found anywhere else on earth, from a speck of fuel little bigger than a pinhead. If successful, the experiment will mark the first step towards building a practical nuclear fusion power station and a source of almost limitless energy. edit: Have An Excellent New Year also Melt . . .

When is Man going to stop trying to play god?? That question may have been asked when man first learned to create and harness fire. I often wonder though, is the reason we haven't encountered intelligence in the universe due to each civilization reaching a certain level of technological achievment and then obliterating themselves with that one experiment?
