I once saw a video about using a scanning tunneling microscope. I wanted to get a handle on how hard it was, so I scanned an area the size of 4 football fields and found a single dime. It takes a long time just to figure out what you are looking for. We have literally not even scratched the surface.

I would bet that your search was interesting, and that eventually you will find something.

Mikelson-Morely went looking for ether, and Einstein found relitivity.

Thank you for your work.

Despite only finding a single dime, that sounds fascinating. Can you say more?
