Strong nuclear, but I find it hard to argue with the duct tape suggestion.

Einstein could have spoken on himself though sadly. Hmm.... I'm working with the government...in a tense political climate to learn the explosive technology of splitting atoms...nah, they'd never use that militarily :roll:

Duct Tape is useful, rather than powerful. Duct Tape is one of the glories of Western technology. However there are some who claim Duct Tape and Velcro were really invented by aliens.

Ahaa! Then aliens own the patent. That should be simple to look up.

One could also add love to the list, to the risk of being corny.

More likely love is a farce, not a force.

The Harvard Prayer Experiment

The study: With support from the Templeton Foundation, cardiologist Herbert Benson and his colleagues randomly assigned 1802 cardiac bypass patients to one of three conditions:


those told they may or may not be prayed for (and who weren't)

those told they may or may not be prayed for (and who were)

those told they would be prayed for (and who were)

David's 1997 statement (PDF) suggesting "Why People of Faith Can Predict Null Effects in the Harvard Prayer Experiment"

Templeton Foundation synopsis:

"The Largest Study of Third-Party Remote Intercessory Prayer Suggests Prayer Not Effective in Reducing Complications Following Heart Surgery"


Some power, eh.
