Wayne Smallman,

: For those who read my recent article: "The future of mankind: predictions of a new world" this is very much in line with several of my predictions.

However, it's going to be quite some time before this area of science produces something useful — neurology is a notoriously fickle discipline...

: This looks the same as the Emotiv neuro-headset, just with SMS. External EEG plus modern pattern recognition, fed into an instant message client. I could add this to an Emotiv on a fraction of the budget. I just need a sponsor...

: William Crookes invented his radiometer over 100 years ago, its not new. I've had one of these toys for 20 years from the novelty section of a magic shop. There's a good page on wikipedia explaining how it works and the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer

Even Albert Einstein had a go at explaining the radiometer. His explanation was that gas molecules hitting the warmer black side pick up heat and speed away, giving the vanes a push. However that doesn't explain the speed with which you can see the vanes move. Osborne Reynolds suggested thermal transpiration where gas molecules move from the cold side of a metal plate to the warm side, creating thrust. Wiki says thatits now believed that both forces move the vanes, but its unknown which is stronger.

: I don't know, seemed pretty clear to me. That's how most of the social bookmarking sites like digg and reddit do it, and I just naturally use this the same way. I guess it might be confusing or unclear to those not coming from that environment, though.
