Personally I am not too intrigued because unlike a skateboard, I can't use this to get to work unless they decide to give the entire road a metal coating.
I am a bit more interested in NASAs theoritical warp-drive thingy that they are working on, and of course googles quantum computer.
Alcabierre Project?
Its a workable idea, with some major drawbacks.
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.
