id like to note, one of the first articles i ever read on the subject was a science fact piece in destinies, november 79 iirc, by isaac asimov (a true scientist as well as writer) in which he went over the equations of exaclty how strong a substance we would need to build one properly, and when it was likely to appear. very interesting read, i suggest digging it up if you can.
