That would make quite a knife.
Oh oh! Stop right there! It's bad, evil carbon, one of the the most abundant elements in the universe, on earth, fundamental to all green AND human life, the foundation of our breathable atmosphere, of energy.
But is bad, and causes Gore-Bull warming so they say, so it must be taxed, because as we all know, taxes are the only thing that can can offset the global warming effects of all the carbon we produce by burning "fossil" fuels.
As our population grows and carbon emissions along with it, more and more "carbon taxes" are needed to nullify this phenomenon.
As we all know, because "scientists" said so, Carbon particles are highly intelligent little particles, or gases, (which ever form they prefer to be in) and they automatically trap less heat when they are taxed when released.
Thank goodness "scientists" discovered that these intelligent Carbons transform when they know greedy left wing governments, UN global governance Marxist elitists have lined their pockets with carbon taxes, and spread taxpayers money to line the pockets of all their friends and environut groups.
We'd all be doomed if it weren't for these "scientists", and our future is looking bright and rosy as every aspect of our lifes, every freedom, our happiness and prosperity is slowly stripped away by these carbon tax funded elitists who know better than all of us how we should live, what we should eat, think, say and do. They receive this great knowledge as compensation by the wise carbon particle, a gift in exchange for assuming the horrible burden and great risk lining their pockets with vast amounts of carbon tax brings upon them. they are sacrificing themselve for our benefit really.
( And they would probably believe all this stupid garbage I just wrote)
Science fiction has talked about the mono-molecular blade forever. Sounds like this might be the reality. Infinte sharpness and apparently equivalent strength.
There’s been talk on some other threads about how no innovation means we’ll be trapped in a depression forever. I see nano-materials as having the potential to be the greatest innovation and economic boon in history. Do more with less actual material. It’s even therefore “green,” in a way, although I expect lots of hollering fron environazis about the dangers of these materials. (Which may indeed exist.)
LOL - that's the first thing I thought of, too.
