...capable of carrying the high electric currents necessary for generating strong magnetic fields. And no one has yet fashioned the inherently brittle material into a wire flexible enough to be wound into effective coils, though many research groups have reported progress. Says Burton Richter, director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center: "It took 25 years to turn the present superconductors from a laboratory curiosity into something that could be made into miles of cable. These are even more difficult materials to work with...
...perfect post-modern child, it won't work. It can't work, by definition. You can't want your kid to be post-modern--that would be a goal, and no telos is allowed.
