History, Science, Nerd Stuff, BEC
What is most important in an economic sense. The greatest scientific fact proven was the discovery of Bose Einstein Condensates (BECs) in 1995 and receiving the Nobel prize in 2001. This combined with future proofs in information theory; how ideas are realized and conversely how realization pushes awareness, where sensation builds sensitivity and sensitivity builds new realizations … eventually new things, new facts, new proofs.
Look what the invention of the laser did about 40 years ago… and it continues with the Dazer Lazer of LNGT, a small company which makes a non-lethal weapon to make people nauseous from upto a mile away.
