Oh, so now they’re ‘forbidden’? A few months ago they were only ‘impossible’.[1] I saved the article (which also was here on HN) at the time because it contains the conceit “science does what puny humans say is impossible,” but the people who say things are impossible are scientists themselves. Are we supposed to be impressed by that? Plagiarists, AKA journalists, get paid to copy other people’s work. Come to think of it, that’s what Stack Exchange is for, too…
