<curmudgeon>Dagnabbit, you uppity crystals, get off my walls or I'll call the cops on you!!</curmudgeon>
I wonder whether it's any concern that the stuff is somewhattoxic and bad if it gets out into the environment (say when they tear the installation down).
We went out that evening with my wife's sister to a lovely Indian restaurant and sat by the fireplace. It was so dark inside the waiter provided a small flashlight so we could read our menus.
This is terrible news. Now the dreaded space bats of Omicron Trianguli 3 will surely descend upon us and all our works with unquenchable flesh-rending vengeance in mind.
And now I notice the link to Yokota in the "More inside", and the physicsforum.com page links to the other paper. I should have done a weak measurement before posting.
I could not make any sense of the design of the actual experiments based on Economist article, despite (or perhaps because of) my physics PhD. But I was able to find the preprint versions of the papers by Lundeen and Steinberg and by Yokota. The abstracts are pretty readable, I think, though the PDFs of the papers are not for the faint of heart.
In the Terms Of Service they probably have some clause about how the webmaster using their service has to be a virgin.
Not that that makes any difference.
Well that was a near coincidence

Samuel Johnson would say that she can slap someone with the arm, then it's real.

And what about those who don't live on the Earth? I think they should have their own hour too.

In "Paraplegic Man Suffers Spider Bite, Walks Again."
After this, therefore because of this. I think someone should interview the Brown Recluse. The spider, that is.

Some of us haven't seen even a single episode of any of these and are damn smug about the money saved.

If you, like me, were tripped up by one word in the second link, here you go. Bauplan, bauplan, bauplan.

That's why the prudent nurse should always wear a tinfoil merkin.
