‘The end of heavy metal:

Boeing shows off material that is 99.99% AIR and could lead to new generation of planes and spaceships
Boeing has revealed the world´s lightest metal structure, which it claims is 99.99% hollow. The revolutionary breakthrough claims to be 100 times lighter than Styrofoam and could be the future for aeronautical design, and is so light that is can sit atop a dandelion. Called a microlattice, it is so strong the firm says an egg wrapped in the material would survive a 25 story drop. Scroll down for video -(Photo) The material, called Microlattice, is a 3D open-cellular polymer structure made up of interconnected hollow tubes, each with a wall 1,000 times thinner than a human hair..
…In addition to its ultra-low density, the material’s cellular architecture gives rise to unprecedented mechanical behavior for a metal, including complete recovery from compression exceeding 50% strain and extraordinarily high energy absorption..’ (bold mine. kg)

I’m IMPRESSED! What will they invent next?

We often forget that while the current situation in Western Civilization is SNAFU (Situation All FUCKED Up) – technology marches forward at the quick time.

Now if they could invent a way for the 57 Muslim countries to disappear without a global nuclear holocaust….

Gives a whole new meaning to ‘Iron Butterfly’

Interesting. Could it be utilised in body armour, perhaps?

Or light weight bullets that absorb their own impact force when war is stymied by health and safety rules.

  You mean people actually fight in something other than shirt, shorts and boots, Seneca?

    That’s all we had in my day and I am old for a reason but I wouldn’t say no to a little help now that I can’t move so fast and probably will have some wanker of a ‘Human Rights’ lawyer looking over my shoulder.
    
    Mind you, if it did crack off that oxygen thief would the be the first to find out that I still have something left albeit little more than a bad temper, a mean disposition and a predilection for serious social work.

It couldn’t have been invented at a better time because Obama is about to start WW III with Russia and China:

Yes, really, really, REALLY hates America and Western Civilization and will spend the next 15 months trying to bring down the West.

There are some amazing scientific breakthroughs happening right now. Not that you will hear of them in the mum…

Msm. Goddamn auto text!

Meanwhile….back in pagan Rome…err Washington, D.C. ….the Emperor Caligula….err…President Obama has been outed by his Praetorian Guards…err Secret Service bodyguards…. as being Queer, Muslim and in love with a Dolphin who is in love with self pleasure:

No word yet if Obama will appoint Fappy to the Senate, as did Caligula with his favorite horse.

Needless to say, Americans are shocked! They knew about him being a faggot Muslim, but the Dolphin love thing is really a hit out of the ballpark!

“OBAMA HAVE YOU NO SHAME!”
