I am= , and they're so numerous that I can't even contemplate them all. Avoiding fantasizing about FTL physical travel, FTL information transfer using nutrinos strikes me as the most fascinating prospect. Imagine being able to set up a direct point-to-point link through the globe. Skip surface latency, get a direct Gigabit link between, e.g. Australia and the US. --0015175cd0bce860ce04aeaab7a2 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
