    A DARPA scientist recently patented the first room temperature superconductor. You'll have to sort through the physics.org website or others looking for it, because nobody is daring to breath a word about it until the patent is decided and everyone gets a chance to play with one. From the patent, it looks like it works by pulsing an electromagnetic field down the outside that produces nonlinear effects, but we'll have to see what's up when people tear it apart. In addition, another researcher has created the first superconducting thermal diode, that can make ice cubes without expending any energy.

    That's about as close to pure fucking magic as technology gets, and a sure sign the next scientific revolution is starting without a theory of everything.

    So I can make ice cubes instantly?

    Its just an experimental circuit, but it can theoretically be used to make a heat pump for your house that doesn't use electricity or a refrigerator that uses a 9v battery to power the light. Its like they invented a material that can move electricity or heat from a cold source to a hot one, just by taking advantage of how the molecules bounce around randomly.

    I’m waiting for someone to say Nikola Tesla came up with that idea back in the 1930s but then abandoned the idea, only to have it resurface again decades later from his presumed stolen papers from the Wyndham Hotel

    Sorry, but Tesla was merely making wild guesses. However, it is theoretically possible to teleport energy from a power station to your car or airplane or whatever, and never have to recharge or refuel anything again.

    You have no clue, so perhaps its best I don't say anymore.

    Don't let this distract you from the fact that on this day 35 years ago, Henry Jones Jr. fought off evil Kali.Ma worshippers and freed thousands of slave children back to their families using no technologies other than the energy of the magic rocks.
