Don't blink. You'll miss it.

Welcome to the Future

How this is not earth shattering global news I don't know- So I will take a moment to inform you. There are two major topics to be discussed in this post. The First involves a potential answer to clean renewable energy for future generations- at least it is a technological breakthrough that will lead to more efficeint meatyhods of extracting or creating our dreams of hydrogen fuel cell technology.

A guy in some lab at a university i believe in the Midwest- either Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota found a way to light salt water on fire. I know right??!!! Crazy! What happened is he was blasting a test tube of salt water with radio waves (its winter in the midwest- what else was he going to do?) and it caught fire. What happened (and this is layman's terms, i will find a actual scientific article about it as soon as I can) is the radio waves disrupted the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen molecules thus releasing the hydrogen in an expenditure of energy. What this means really is amazing. Hypothetically this research could lead to the development of technology that leads to a truly renewable source of energy! Ocean water will one day power your flying car with a hydrogen fuel cell. Buy Salt futures now.

The other great scientific breakthrough of this last week is truly amazing. Here is the Actual Article that talks about a guy who chopped off the tip of his finger and his brother was some research geneticist studying how salamanders can regenerate tissue, and his brother sends him some powder and tells him to just keep sprinkling this stuff on his wound. Long story short, the guy now has a brand new fingertip- and his own body created it. The potential value of this breakthrough is staggering. Imagine people being able to regrow their own organs. Apparently (claims Brendan- I have yet to actually read the article in full- and I bet there are several on the topic) scientists can build some kind of cellulose structure basically with HP printers building the organ buy spraying cells in a certain fashion in layers.- Just read the article so I don't have to type.
