...in the form of what may be an accidentally discovered artificial gravity generator, with possible practical applications!:
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/GSP/SEM0L6OVGJE_0.html If this effect is real, it's fully 1/10,000 G -- which is not to be sneezed at, and might conceivably lead us to Bigger Things. |

From Wikipedia's article on Boris Badenov, infamous high-ranking official of the People's Republic of Pottsylvania's foreign intelligence apparatus during the 1960s:
"The source of upsidaisium came [edit-sic] from Mount Flatten, a mountain located in the American southwest that floated high above the ground (due to the mountain being full of upsidaisium)." Hmm. It seems that cavorite (described by Wells, 1901) in fact occurs naturally in abundance at at least one location where it was independently rediscovered more than sixty years later...and is now lost again. I blame moose and squirrel!!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
