Science Fiction by Arthur C Clarke
It is difficult to have a discussion with someone about science fiction if they are not familiar with the works of Arthur C Clarke. The concepts are not too awfully difficult to understand and not nearly as complex as reading Issac Asimov for the science fiction novice and anyone can enjoy Mr. Clarke's works. If you are interested in science fiction, I recommend this set of audio tapes: The Arthur C Clarke Collection, including "2001 A Space Odyssey" "Transit of Earth" "Fountains of Paradise" and "Childhood's Earth" They are available all together in one easy to listen to collection. It will be an excellent review of Arthur C Clarke's works. Arthur C Clarke is one of the great science fiction writers of all time and much of his work is now been set as a goal for scientists to make into reality. It was a pleasure to review all of these works in this rather long audio series and there was rarely a dull moment. It is interesting to see how the science fiction of yesterday becomes the reality of today and how the same science fiction today is becoming closer and closer to tomorrows reality. It was read in the authors voice and it made it that much more real. Arthur C Clark is not only brilliant, but we are lucky to have had him on the planet. Order these audio tapes today and you will be glad you did. "Lance Winslow" - If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs

In the US it appears that we have decided that "life is not for sale" and that the cloning debate is over and our scientists are forbidden by law from attempting to clone humans.

Acoustic Transducers for High Altitude Balloon Control Using acoustic transducers it maybe possible to create a small region of thicker air underneath a blimp and use that patch as a platform of air to float on while blowing ever so slightly low pressure air underneath the blimp like a hover craft. Although this idea sounds like a long shot it can be done by use of a screen, which shoots the directed frequency waves into the waves created by the acoustic transducers. God Created Man, 5000 years ago? Well it is written that God created man 5000 years ago, there can be no doubt about it. The Holy scripture guarantees that is in fact how it exactly happened? Oh really? So how do you explain the fossil record, life on mars and dinosaur bones? Oh, you cannot explain that? I see, but you still wish to debate the works in the various religions and completely factual and to be followed literally then? Hmm? Okay, then I have a book that, I personally recommend that you do not read:"The Seven Daughters of Eve" By Bryan Sykes.

Acoustic Transducers To Detect And Eliminate Incoming Mortar Rounds There maybe a way to use acoustic transducers to pin-point incoming enemy ordinance such as mortar rounds in order to shoot them down. Directional sound waves from acoustic transducers set at specific locations around friendly locations can create artificial barriers, which the incoming ordinance will have to pass to reach its target and thus be detected and triangulated or quadrangulated for interception.
