BUCKMINSTER FULLER
[ Magnolias] are considered among the most primitive of living, flowering plants, dating back approximately five to sixty-five million years and are named after Pierre Magnol, a French doctor and botanist. One thing's for sure, there's nothing quite like the odor and feel of magnolia scented lotion on the hot summer night skin...when primitive becomes exotic...conjuring genetic [ olfactory] memories romanticizing the future of technology...basking in a dream older than [ carbon]...
Nanoscale science and technology, often spoken of as "nanoscience" or
"[ nanotechnology]," is a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing nano-sized particles that measure in nanometers (1 nm = 1 billionth of a metre). One nanomaterial that is having an early impact in "healthcare" products is [ nano-silver]. Applications include but are not limited to panty liners, sanitary towels and pants. The nano-silver inhibits multiplication of growth of those bacteria and fungi which cause infection, odour, itchiness and sores (crotch rot). Nanoscale titanium dioxide and zinc oxide powders are now commonly used by cosmetics manufacturers for facial base creams and sunscreen lotions, nanoscale iron oxide powder is now being used as a base material for rouge and lipstick, nanoscale titanium dioxide particles are used in the manufacturing of paints with reflective properties, and nanostructured cemented carbide coatings are used on some Navy ships for their increased durability. Yep, creams, lotions, paint (face and facades), and SHIPS. Use the seach term "nanostructured cemented carbide coatings are used on some Navy ships" in [ YAHOO!] and a nine-page prepublication copy of "The Importance of Nanoscale Science and Technology" in PDF will appear at the top of the page. READ IT!
What does all this have to do with [ R. Buckminster Fuller]? We-e-e-e-ll, ya'll have heard of [ bucky balls], right? How 'bout [ bucky tubes]? HA! GOTCHA! Bucky, dude, geodesic dome to carbon nano-tubes, and the loss of warm magnolia memories. Hindsight is not in this case [ foresite]. [ Debate] all ya want, it ain't gonna change nothin'.
