A lot of people confuse a hypothesis for a theory. All it takes for a hypothesis to become a theory is for there to be "some evidence" to support the hypothesis, even if the evidence is just pure math.

I was just thinking the same thing. I can not see it != it does not exist.

if the spelling of the words was logical, then good scientist could spell. All scientist work with in a certain theoretical frame work depending on what they are currently doing. For spelling I usually default to the sound-it-out method/ make-it-look-right method and allow the spell checker to make suggested revisions. If that fails I use a search engine to help me arrive at the correct spelling. Really it is nothing more than what all scientist do, 1) develop a question "How do I spell excetra?" 2) form a hypothesis "I do not think excetra is the correct spelling." 3) test the hypothesis "The spell checker indicates problem with the spelling of excetra." 4) Results "excetra is spelled incorrectly" 5) Submit for peer review 6) peers suggest excetra should be spelled excreta 7) Literature says the excreta is defined as "Waste Matter..." 8) Turns out he peers are wrong the word i was looking for is "etcetera" 9)..... 10) profit

And the volt has an ICE. I imagine that the auto parts guys are not that worried about profits. New technology, before the bugs are worked out, always generates a surge in the parts market. However when people start disposing of the large high energy density battery the same way they dispose of their lead acid battery, there will be an environmental impact. When was the last time you saw 1Kg of Li metal sitting around in nature?

It will be 10 years before they have realized that they made the observation. The amount of data that will be generated will be huge and then someone has to analyze it to understand what the detectors detected.

I would guess that piracy is lost in the noise of monthly sales. The entertainment industry uses piracy as a scape goat in order to convince the bond holders that neither the quality of the product nor the current price of the product is driving sales down substantially. "If you only invest more money, we will be able to develop this new almost unbreakable scheme that will stop piracy. Then our sales will rebound." Two facts of life: 1) Piracy is the oldest profession. There will always be dishonest men. 2) Anyone can predict the future. They very rarely are correct.

When will they learn that lack of sales != piracy? Lack of sales implies that people are not willing to pay the price you want for what you have to offer. This may be a direct cause of a tanked economy or your product sucks. There are plenty of reasons why your product will not sell piracy is not one of them.

Yep you make perfect sense, up until the time that someone takes their life because they have been diagnosed with cancer, quits their job to live the rest of their life, or does anything they would not have done that adversely affects the rest of their life if they did not have cancer. If you apply this 90% accuracy to screenings at airports, or the RIAA then chances are you wold outraged that your rights are being trampled on. Don't get me wrong I think that there is good in screenings, but we must educate people about possibility and probability of false positives, with knowledge comes responsibility.

High usable energy density == unstable. This goes back to engineering and customer demands, your options are size, saftey, and battery life pick two!

There is a fat line between what one should do and what one can do, I am pretty sure this crosses that line. Darwin would none the less be proud.
