[Snidley]

Materiel's science on Nova tonight on PBS at 9pm-10pm They use Nanaotubes in fishing rods and golf clubs so it may be of interest to guys here. Ken Whiting, of Airrus,and Carrot Stix rods fame swears by the technology.

Interesting show, but the host is a bit odd

please send the youtube link when it's up as I have better things to do right now like have a beer and a smoke. I can watch it from my cell at lunch if you do if the host is that bad...

He was clearly aiming the narration to our kids with their notoriously short attention spans. They dummed down a very interesting subject that has dramatic potential for the future. The technology is amazing but I could not help but think that the implementation would require really cleaver technicians, like the ones that Tiger moms raise...in China. That opinion is actually shared by Ken Whiting who I happen to know and is an expert who believes the best quality rods are now coming from Asia. The furure is now and ours does not look all that bright..
