It's more like they're saying they have invented the screwdriver, but they haven't invented screws yet. But it doesn't feel right. It's unlikely the screwdriver would come first, and then people would go around look

High-end watches are worse at telling the time than electronic watches, but they are visibly different and identifiable, so they can broadcast status. Diamonds made by man or nature are now indistinguishable, except to highly trained expert

We're obsessed with flying cars, and hang gliders, and drones, and space travel, because gravity sucks. I often daydream about what life would be like if we could just regulate gravity at will, just at the individual level, so we can m
