A new scientific breakthrough

According to the front page of yesterday's Mail, scientists believe
that by this time next year, they will be able to perform body transplants.
They have apparently succeeded in swapping the heads of monkeys
without killing them, and they can still move afterwards.
The Mail of course with it's usual high editorial standards immediately
seized on how this is something that should only happen in bad SF.
They completely failed to spot the potential. Just think, kidnap Arnie
Schwarzenegger and get yourself muscles without years of exercise.

Ah well, I'm hungry, Ill just go and eat.

Oh! I thought you were announcing the SERIOUS scientific breakthrough,
that someone seems to have managed to manufacture room-temperature
superconductors.

They've found some combination of carbon composite fibres bonded in an
epoxy at high pressures and very high temperatures or something. What
they've actually produced is something that appears to defy several
laws of physics by having a NEGATIVE resistance... -8 ohms in this
case, which they can put in series with something of +8 ohms
resistance to make a true superconductor.

Probably something that the press have entirely misinterpretted, but
go look for yourselves:

That's the trouble with omnipotency. Makes you think you can do anything.

Oddly, this page has been disabled. There are some other pages of Chung's
work, but for some reason this one is no longer available.

Can we say "hoax"?

I thought it was the Express that carried that story - the Mail had a
different front page. Picky I know but between the two the Mail is
better.
