Comments on: Comic Con in review! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/07/29/comic-con-in-review/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

(See wikipedia entry on transparent ceramic) The company developing it is planing on using it in bullet proofing applications as an inch of this stuff will stop a 50 cal sniper round at fairly close range with little more then a scratch. Though the new state of matter aluminum is pretty darn awesome also! @ Phil - I attended both Panels and thoroughly enjoyed them. It was cool hearing that the writers on some of the shows I love are thinking about the ethical and moral applications of the potential technologies they are thinking up and using in the shows. My friends and I often have the same kinds of arguments that Jane and the others were talking about in reference to things like culpability for crimes of clones and uploaded/downloaded personalities. I didn't get a copy of your book to sign this time around but I will try for it next time. Keep up the good work. @ !astral – They have created aluminum based ceramic that is transparent to visible light as well which is much more in line with the Star Trek Idea.
