In 2010 the first i-cube would be running at full power and all the elements would be at hand to make a phonon system. On the other hand, a small group with some money could target directly the end system and build a phonon brain reader in two or three years. Can anyone do that?" The astronomical work sounds facinating, to be sure, but aside from a bit of practice at making a working interferometer, I'm unclear as to how it places in your hands all the elements to make a phonon brain reader. All the principles may be transferable, and some of the skills, maybe even some electronics and software, but you're hardly going to be able to use 2 meter optical telescopes to do phonon interferometery of a brain. What am I missing here? Brett Bellmore Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19498
