A Dr. Franklin Felber has reportedly come up with a solution for Einstein’s gravitational field equation that allows for objects travelling close to the speed of light, something no other solution to date has been able to do. Essentially, it provides a way to accelerate a spacecraft to a “good fraction” of the speed of light, a feat that would ordinarily require the equivalent force of 30 billion tons of TNT, with a relatively small expense of energy.

A new semiconductor lithography method developed ot the Rochester Institute of Technology has leapfrogged the development roadmap by five years, offering image rendering down to a resolution of only 26 nanometers.

In a bizarre situation worthy of one of the man’s stories, an android replica of Philip K. Dick has gone AWOL while being transported to California by plane.
