The Technology Review article discusses the ramifications of certain topological configurations that are speculated to be occurring within the sub-atomic realms. It is conjectured that certain sub-atomic topological configurations (if true) would result in affecting the characteristics of matter in unique and potentially exploitable ways. For those interested in acquiring a better understanding of the subject known as "Topology" I would recommend the following DVD course series. You can purchase the courses through a company called "The Great Courses". It's taught by Professor Satyan L. Devadoss. The title of the course is "Shape of Nature" http://www.teach12.com/tgc/courses/course_detail.aspx?cid=1460 http://tinyurl.com/4by7fga This DVD series contains 36 lectures, approximately 30 minutes in length each. Several months ago I purchased the DVD set at a discount. I see its still "discounted", from $374.95 to $99.95. I found the course to be a worthwhile class project, especially since I could both view and subsequently Grok the ramifications of the lectures at my own pace. My two cents.
