Perhaps the rest of us who were patient and urged folks to wait and see, had the right idea all along.

I believe the 'wait and see' crowd had it right.

Mankind's history is a never-ending story of its incremental defeat of the physical universe. What's commonplace today, was science fiction in the not-too-distant past. Technologies that seem impossible to achieve today, will likewise be perfected in the future.

It's hard for me to believe that this (or any other) group would have shelled out $11 million dollars to purchase the e-cat if there wasn't really something to it.

I'm still keeping an open mind about it.

I think you summed it up precisely right.

In 1870, can you imagine a person telling someone else that we could have people on the Moon in less than 100 years?

I know Wells came up with his movie, but the rank and file must have thought that was pure lunacy, or at the best Lunarcy...

LOL

I believe we will overcome gravity as some point. There are key discoveries that will change the universe, and we’ll be spellbound by them.

You watch, the age of the universe will be debated and changed in our future. Man is clever, but he has never been able to quantify how clever he is or is not.

And yet along the way, he is convinced he knows it all...
