Nice thought, eh?"<BR/><BR/>Terrifying thought. Everything is so secretive & does not bode well at all.<BR/><BR/>Interesting thought about scientists finding something wonderful but shelve it as it doesn't fit with the "experiment" they're working on at the moment.

It's always referred to only by its team of scientists, the National Ignition Facility. I wonder if that's something like the National Electrocution Society? Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be the Global Ignition Facility.<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I do troll the online versions of the major American papers and news magazines and I've yet to find among them any report on this.<BR/><BR/>Too much science going on behind closed doors. In his book, Rees stresses that the privatization of leading-edge research has had some disturbing repercussions. For example, a company's scientists may stumble across something wonderful but it's not what they're looking for so it just gets shelved instead of being released to others for development (the government research model). Worse yet is what he calls bio-error, scientists with no one looking over their shoulder simply going too far one day.<BR/><BR/>Rees, by the way, has a thousand dollar bet that there'll be a bio-terror or bio-error event by 2020 that will kill a million people or more.
