No matter what Onyxcougar feels, quantum physics is to our future as the transistor was in 1950s and 1960s. Numerous interesting material concepts are being discovered that only quantum physics can explain. Unfortunately the tools so necessary for major breakthroughs in this science are not being built in the US.

A very recent example was in Penn State where standard Helium (I believe it was standard Helium, but does not happen with an isotope of Helium) conformed to a newly discovered concept called SuperLiquid. Supersolids had been discovered previously by, I believe, it was last year's Nobel Prize winner. But he speculated that Superliquids were not possible. Penn State researchers have proved him wrong.

Basically, a Supersolid disappears when cooled and compressed. That's right - mass dissappears. There are additional complexities involved that the reader may discover independently.

Demonstrated is a conclusion that cannot be repeated enough. Our next breakthough technologies apparently lie in quantum physics. Even the recent transporting of material (Star Trek stuff) is quantum physics. There is no scientific future in the $80billion spent on a useless ISS or in the even more expenisve and more rediculous George Jr 'hard-on' - a manned mission to Mars. These are simply what happens when George Jr consults his biblical advisors to pervert science. Simply repeating what so many Noble Prize winners and the Union of Concerned Scientists said.

This discussion only examples what has been repeated previously - the future demands we move on into the field of quantum physics - or surrender all those future jobs to other nations.

Recently demonstrated was a theory proposed in Purdue in 1990. Dr Awschalom and his team at U of Cal Santa Barbara has just recently demonstrated Spintronics - transistors that operate using quantum physics concepts. Original transistor was bipolar. It was obsoleted by FET. Now spintronics (or some other equivalent advances) begs to obsolete the FET. Just another major breakthrough - again using quantum physics - that could finally solve the problem of transistors being so small that they cannot be any smaller. Spin transistors should work faster without the leakages (heat) associated with current FET transistors. This discovery involving Santa Barbara and (different) Penn State researchers was only reported last June in the science publication Nature.

Again, a potential breakthrough based upon quantum physics properties. Such breakthroughs will be necesary to maintain Moores Law. And it most decidedly will not be found in political perverts such as the silly man to Mars.
