Presumably a superconducting cable wastes less power than a copper one. Has anyone estimated how much energy the USA would save if, for the sake of argument, all the grid used superconductor cables like the ones in this article?
When evolution is taught and discussed it should be done so as a scientific theory not a religion (as Dawkins, to me, appears to). Evolution has obviously occurred but good scientists like Darwin (in the 6th edition of Or.Sp.) have strong doubts that NATURAL SELECTION is the whole answer. Something else also is going on - horizontal information transfer, epigenetics, or something nobody has thought about.
It frightens me, as one trained in physics, when people say they 'believe' in evolution. Maybe physicists need to come in and provide a real theory. And explain cosmic fine tuning for life.
All I ask is that scientists keep an open mind and not get into a medieval panic when someone points out that life and the universe LOOK as though they are designed. That is a fact that needs explaining, not ignoring.
