The impossible isn't what it used to be. Lately, news flashes from the front lines of science suggest a bewildering telepathic collision between fact and fantasy -- quantum teleportation, spider/goat milk/silk, a tooth phone, a cloned cat. Neil Gershenfeld, MIT Media Lab: "Science fact is rapidly outstripping science fiction." See the article for comments from Paul Saffo, Bruce Sterling, William Shatner, Stewart Brand, and others. This article falsely awards the concept of a fax machine to Philip K. Dick. In fact, the fax machine was invented and demonstrated in 1843. | |||
