thanks for this gary, ever since i was a kid I've always wondered if somehow creating a strong enough magnetic field to protect passengers from radiation would be possible for spaceships.

Hmm, and maybe WARP core containment as well! Those CERN guys have great jobs.

Very cool potential real world applications. Not too shabby for a machine derived from "mathematical junk" hey? ;) :lol:
