I am on board, If we can find some funding for this.
I am a freelance programmer from Denmark.
Have done a lot of web programing with c/c++,php and sql.
Also I have made a new type of polls,
which I call eigenpolls, it might be something we can use.

What is your skill set ?
Hi
I just had a quick look at your idea.
Isn't it just to develop full spectrum light blubs ?
If not could you explain the difference ?
I consider Google a smart company.
But I don't think they have manage this project very well.
Instead of going trough 150000 suggestion and let the
public vote for 16 made-up projects.
They should have used the wisdom of the crowd to vote for the 150000 suggestions
and have the advisory board chose between the top 100.
What I would like to see is a open funding network.
Where people can post ideas like this, vote on there favorite projects
and where funds can find and support this projects.
ps. yes, I did submit this idea to 10^100.
It would have been better if they
With those laws journalist will actually have to do some research
before writing an article.
As for Simon Singh, as Ph.D he should know the difference between a good and a bad hypothesis/claim.
A claim like "there is no evidence supporting claim x" is a very bad one.
Because in the real would you can never prove that something does not exist.
Better claims would be "As far as I know there is no evidence supporting claim x"
or better "The result of study y contradict claim x".
I think the conclusion is that Simon Singh was sued, because he used bogus science to write he's article on bogus science.
Go watch "dragons den" or "shark tank"
So, you can see how it is done.
Go, find a big company that can use your technology,
get a initial order.
Then go to a angel investor and get the money to set up production and get the patent.
That it not entirely correct.
Magnetic monopoles have been observed.
The problem is that most student are told that magnetic monopoles haven't been observed,
and very few student check to see if that is correct.
Check out chapter 5 in

for references to the articles.
Google should just let the people vote between all
150000 ideas and then select the best 5 ideas from top 100.
It is in situation like this the wisdom of the crowd is useful.
The article forgot to say that Steven talk
at Harvard tomorrow and that the talk is available over webcast.

Does anyone know if a material exist with similar reaction to radio waves and what such a material is called?
Materials called radiochromics normally react
to radioactive radiation not radio waves.
