Transparent aluminum was invented in 2009.

Granted, it’s only transparent to extreme ultraviolet light. But it’s a start.

I didn't know Berkley accepted religious folk.

You have to worship The State, but only when it's run by fascists, which for some reason they insist on calling liberals.

Wasn’t that the movie where Spock hugged a sperm whale?

In case you truly don't get the reference, Captain Kirk erroneously explains Mr. Spock's weirdness by explaining that he took too many drugs (LDS, when he meant to say LSD).

We got it. We were poking fun at the typo. Give a FReeper some credit. lol

LDS wasn’t a typo, it was in the movie. That was partly what made it funny.

Exactly...I was a Mormon at the time the movie came out and saw it with about ten other Mormons. We all laughed the most during that part of the film. The general audience thought it was cute but I think they didn’t quite understand why the Mormon folk were in hysterics.

Thanks Red Badger.
After cooling a molten alloy of aluminum, iron, and silicon... that it may be an example of a novel structure, theoretically possible but not seen until now, that is isotropic, with infinite rotational symmetry, but lacking any discrete translational symmetry.
