(Water) Bridge to Terebithia
Apparently human beings can now control the physical structure of water, without having to worry about pesky things like gravity, walls, or any sort of “normal” restriction of a liquid.
Pretty cool, I think. Granted, it’s limited to a minuscule length and width, and surface tension wasn’t even mentioned. But think of the implications…
- Having a problem designing and building an earthquake-proof bridge?
- Are you 9 years old, and want to build a bridge to your neighbor’s bedroom window?
- In the military, trying to get troops across a moat, lake, or other body of water?
- You know that “space elevator” we keep hearing about?
- …and many more…
A bridge to God? Or, if you prefer, Hell?
This has major implications. Imagine if instead of spending years and millions of dollars building highways, the government instead used the already-existing network of electricity to stabilize a small amount of water to server as a road? Or, imagine small islands in the Caribbean… the water already exists, electrify a small portion!
However, this may not be limited to “just” water. If water has this property, why not sand? Or dirt? Or even air? One of the things that are rehashed in science fiction and fantasy novels/movies/comics/games the world over is control over the elements… maybe there’s a grain of truth in that.
Are we that much closer to becoming gods? Awesome.
