RE: Cable-less lift (a tiny nerd out!)
I suppose it's early days for a new technology and over time the cable-free lift will get faster. Maybe it's similar to trad climbing where the climber is secured by placing successive pieces of "gear" in the rocks. If one comes out, the others will still be there to support the load.
Looking forward to reading about the THz spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum fascinates me, even though I don't know much about it.
It is very similar to that!... but I don't think this will ever get to a high speed sort of thing... it just is limited by the mechanical design... however, it does have advantages hat are worth it in a small range.
THz is pretty amazing... I didn't realise the potential Earth-bound applications... but they are really quite extraordinary and I'm so proud of my friend who is doing the hard experimental and theoretical work to make it work! I only knew of it as a way to pick up the images of the first original galaxies.... more cool, but much less practical!
