I hear that they're now going to turn their attention to:

LIGHTNING CLONES!

The inspiration came when the lead researcher, Dr Marin Soljacic, was standing in his kitchen at night staring at his mobile phone.

"It was probably the sixth time that month that I was awakened by my cell phone beeping to let me know that I had forgotten to charge it. It occurred to me that it would be so great if the thing took care of its own charging," he said.
I love how scientists always have cute little anecdotes of how they came up with ideas, as if the thought had never occurred to him that this technology might be useful before hand.

I'll finally be able to install a projector in my ceiling without having to fuck around with the wiring. Besides the raging brain tumors, it's going to be a wonderful tomorrow!

Yes, of course, November 5, 1955...That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the edge of the sink. And when I came to I had a revelation, a VISION, a picture in my head, a picture of this. This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor
