    it may also provide answers to the "dark matter" question, which is supposedly causing
    the universe to expand at increasing velocity.

    won't be finished until around 2025 though, so no quick answers!

    Hmm, I wonder if the same technology could be used for very large solar arrays....

    @Ballistic, what are you referring too? Stringing together 1000 smaller arrays to get a decent amount of power? That is actively happening this very moment, and is indeed the exact principle that currently allows a "single" solar cell to produce anything greater than 1/5th a watt.
