Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?

carpathian, well, no....Not to any great desire or driven nature....

Bad enough when spouse does facial clay...interesting gray~green color, tho'....

Done bow to keel, I'd look like an undernourished Groot with a bark mold.

Pry all you want, but hand me the crowbar after....;)

Interesting tidbit, when you finish a sentence with three periods instead of the standard single period, that triple period is known as an ellipsis...

..also referenced as a 'suspension point', an inference that there's a previous line of thought....
Typically 'derailed' (sometimes deranged, depending of POV....) or drifted on from....

I've stood accused of many things; OCD, ADHD, DWI, DWJust Fine, Thx, others...

I'll abstain from '... - - - ...', but Morsely it draws attention not required. :)

Next?

Very interesting. I'd never heard of a roton. It'll be interesting to see what can be done with these through engineering.  When I was in high school the hope was for room temperature superconductors to change everything. Didn't happen but superconductors do have their uses. The other big hope was cheap, abundant titanium to replace much of the items that are now made out of steel. Titanium bikes are here. They're very nice but expensive. Not too many car chassis made out of titanium that I know of. Ti is abundant in the earth's crust but remains hard to work with. 

@asctim....HO, I think it'll be while before Active Roton Dispersion Arrays for audiophile purposes may be available.  And I'd wager that speaker tech might have to respond in some fashion to make it a real thing...

...an acoustic hologram of sorts, without bathing in lasers....  "Nice, but gives me a sunburn of sorts....OMFG, my ears have burnt off ! ? !"

Ti is nice, but yes, pricey.  There may be a lot of it, but its' nature makes it hard to process anything out of it for use on or in anything.  I have 2mm sheet that one can cut with scissors, but has an edge like a razor blade....  Folds crisp, but one shot is all you get at it.
