nm most all the theory has been pretty much etched in stone
nm for quite a few years. No one is going to come up with some
nm new gadjit that is going to break all the rules. Just
nm ain't gonna happen. Sure, minor touch ups of theory will
nm surely occur, but nothing major is going to be changed,
nm or it would have by now. It's comparible to the field of

And then along comes an amateur wannabe physicist like Albert Einstein
and turns theory on its ear... bringing the world kicking and
screaming into the atomic age of satellites and relativity. The Nobel
review folk didn't even know what to make of most his papers and gave
him a kupiedoll for describing the photoelectric effect. This amateur
wannabe generated more change than had been accomplished in the
previous 1,000 years. And new ramifications are still being found for
e=mc^2. Every scientist in 1905 was sure nothing major could be found
too. We are in 2005 now and some geek in a broom closet is just about
to unleash a comparable cataclysmic change to our world and one better
count on it!

I doubt it will have anything to do with antennas though..
And I doubt it will be a geek in a broom closet.

It's numbingly comforting to doubt but science isn't a religion.
Not to be a contrarian but it might have to do with antennas.
We can't tell the future, I can only influence it a bit by action.
