Didn't we essentially say the same thing?
I don't know that even the most predictive (and verified) TOE (Theory of Everything) would allow us to do some of the SciFi stuff the lunatic fringe Dream About. Beam Me Up!

My intent was to add-to, not correct your post. Sorry if it did not come off that way.
Dave
No, you're FINE.
You got me thinking about stuff like electromagnetism which SEEMS to be totally explained by theory. And predictions were made. But more importantly, you were correct in that the understanding led to useful STUFF. Like Stereo, for example?
Now, going forward, what predictions are coming from modern theory? Will some SciFi stuff be POSSIBLE?

I am looking forward to buckyballs (fullerenes), superconductors and nanotechnology myself. A more linear IC chip would be welcomed.
Dave
I'm looking forward to a cousin of the buckyball in the form of GRAPHENE. Planar speakers and headphone drivers would be possible from a sheet maybe 2 microns thick. (20,000 angstroms).
Semiconductors ALL have 2 'tails' and a large linear region between.

That is very interesting stuff. I can see quite a few application for audio. How about a self-amplifying ribbon driver, or a self amplifying phono cartridge with built-in EQ?
Dave
Just start a mental list.
Optics?
Engineering material?
Semiconductor?
Aerospace?
Space 'sail'? That would also generate electricity?
Every facet of engineering, chemistry and science are potential fair game for new graphene applications and uses.
Maybe even some kind of semi-permiable membrane? I have NO idea!
