  I'm sorry but your guest is wrong about nano technology. nano technology is defined as anything constructed where the scale is controls at 100nm scale or smaller. Our current Si Chips are considered nano technology as they are being made at 65nm device widths and soon much smaller.

  If have thought for some time that dreams are not movies playing in your head while you are asleep, but instantaneous creations as you wake up. Waking up that is during that part of sleep where the processing of experiences into deeper “memory” is taking place, and weaving a “plot” however surrealistic, through the out of context and non-sequential bits being processed. (I assume there are any number of action movies which start as a collection of spectacular stunts and special effects in no particular order and the ridiculous “plot” is conjured up to get the characters from stunt to stunt.)

  This morning I “dreamt” I was about to be run over by a truck backing up, when I realized it was the alarm on my clock radio beeping.

  Any thoughts?

  Why is it important that the US be "the first" in scientific discovery, such as space travel?

  In "Mai Pen Rai," a delightful little book written by a US expat wife living in 60s Bangkok, the author recounts how frequently Thai people sort of laughed at America for putting a man on the moon!

  You have 68% of the American people who place creationism above evolution as an explanation for life on earth.

  I assume that's why science would have a hard time being a topic for debates among the political candidates, some of them who also follow such primitive thinking.
