There is nothing the US needs from any of you anymore. Hell, we don't even need tropical hardwoods anymore since we have a method of makind common softwoods stronger than steel.

Well _that's_ interesting! So musical instrument makers can stop
worrying about the supply of ebony and rosewood, of blackwood and
mahogany? There's no more need to worry about bans on importing them, etc?

I do find it interesting that you have presented yourself as a teacher and cannot look a single thing up. Is that because upon retirement you became instantly stupid, or have you inflicted that upon your students from your very first day?

If you were capable of intelligent and civilized discussion, you could
have given that link in your previous post. And you could have given it
in that latest post without tossing insults, given the fact that all I

More briefly: It's a laboratory process. They're hoping to scale it up,
but it does not exist as a commercial process now, or (probably) any
time soon. They gave no actual numbers on density, tensile strength,
impact strength or anything else. And like thousands of other futuristic
ideas, maybe it will work someday, maybe it won't.

I predict there is no way it will ever come to "we don't even need

    You are strangely deficient in intelligence. Why should I, like Liebermann who really doesn't know anything, have a need to give referenced for everything I say.

Because you're always wrong.

YOU most certainly do not.

Frank lists links frequently, especially when he makes a claim as fact.
I can't remember the last time you posted a link that support some amazing claim you made
