Ha! If that group of scientists had "Defkalion" in their name, then it would be a fitting segue to another Sci-Fi story, no?
-----Original Message----- From: Nigel Dyer I continue to be reminded of a (Isaac Asimov?) science fiction story I read as a child where a group of scientists are shown a film of what they are told is an anti gravity machine, which takes off, flies a bit then blows up. They are told that the inventor, the only person who knew how it worked, was killed. They then spend six months(?) working together and produce a new anti-gravity machine. They are then told that the film was a fake and there was no such inventor.
