Quote:Researchers have worked out how to make matter from pure light and are drawing up plans to demonstrate the feat within the next 12 months.

Much as I am loathed to say this, but, describing the beginning of the universe in terms of "Let there be light," might not be far off.

This will have biblical theists wetting their pants.

Unfortunately it won't. Facts just bounce off those people.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
