what are the implication/applications?
Any chem/science geniuses out there know what this might mean in terms of practical applications?
The former record holder: GI Chocolate, issued with rations during WW II.
“Unattainium”
Never heard’a hafnium. Is it half of a wholenium?
Hafnium is a rather rare element. They won’t be making tons of the stuff.
But Al Gore has already stated the melting point of the earth’s interior is “millions of degrees.”
The holy Goreacle has spoken. Dare not question the proclamations of the Goreacle, heretic.
According to Algore..." People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...",
Seems impractical here on earth because anything capable of creating that heat would melt also.
“Researchers predict material with record-setting melting point [4,400 kelvins / 7,460°F]”
That’s nothing. I have a computer program that models a theoretical material that has predicted melting point of 8,460°F!

Oh, and I forgot to add that MY material uses only haf as much hafnium as THEIR material!
What about transparent aluminum?
A phaser beam at full power is about 14,000 Fahrenheit....
