I hope to see String Theory either be proven or disproven.

I hope to see Quantum physics united with general and special relativity.

I hope to see fusion developed into a form of efficiency harnesable energy.

Eh, Crackle san, you know, recently I sat in some apartment of some guy who had some kind of strange device standing in the corner. It was claimed that it would be a cold fusion reactor, working and all that stuff. The Russians got hold of such a thing some time ago, and you know, the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka 2004 wasn't caused by some sea quake, but by 'maloperation', if you get my meaning. ^^


However, I expect explanations on why there are no dive trips to the offshore wreck Monday to Friday.
