Oh, gosh. Pete, I am sorry but I had already submitted a proposal. As you say nanogravity is surely next up and then picogravity. While I am waiting for Elon to get back to me I have been looking into an ultimate brightness ‘top pocket synchrotron’. This single electron device has the smallest e

The obvious project worthy of such funding is crystallization in ultra low gravity.  Perfectly formed crystals are priceless and the basis for advances in structural biology.  Crystal growth on the ISS, in orbit 254 miles above the Earth, is considered growth in microgravity.  Now consider the M

I'm sorry Phil, but your application has been administratively rejected because it did not conform to the bioscience-only stipulation that was clearly stated in the RFA. We look forward to an improved version of your proposal in the future, and please try to read the instructions more carefull

Hey Everyone, It may sound like an incredibly boring thing that there has never been a formal mathematical proof that finding the prime factors of very large numbers doesn't have a more efficient algorithm than simply trying every single one of them. Nevertheless, to this day, encryption keys
