POPSLucius Annaeus Seneca: Divi Claudii Apocolocyntosis (The Pumpkinification of the Divine Claudius) Vicifons I wish to place on record the proceedings in heaven October 13 last, of the new year which begins this auspicious age. It shall be done without malice or favour. This is the truth. To begin with, I am not bound to please you with my answer. Who will compel me? I know the same day made me free, which was the last day for him who made the proverb true--One must be born either a Pharaoh or a fool. Who has ever made the historian produce witness to swear for him? But if an authority must be produced, ask of the man who saw Drusilla translated to heaven: the same man will aver he saw Claudius on the road, dot and carry one. Will he nill he, all that happens in heaven he needs must see. He is the custodian of the Appian Way . Question him, he will tell you the tale when you are alone . What he told me I report plain and clear . Source

POPSHelium-3 fusion. A cleaner source of energy. It does seem a bit remote, but the idea is interesting, because of the reduced amount of energy lost through Neutron escape. One of the problems is the scarcity of Helium 3 on Earth. There has been a significant amount of helium 3 detected on the moon. There is an article below the news links, and links to research projects at the end.
