Science Fiction Becomes Reality, Again.

It sounds too good to be true: a non-toxic spray invisible to the human eye that protects almost any surface against dirt and bacteria, whether it is hospital equipment and bandages or ancient stone monuments and expensive fabrics.

But true it is. The spray is a form of "liquid glass" and is harmless to living things and the wider environment. It is being touted as one of the most important, environmentally-friendly products to emerge from the field of nanotechnology, which deals in objects at the molecular end of the size scale.
Tests have revealed an astonishing variety of potential uses for the liquid glass, from protecting vineyards against fungal attacks to coating medical implants with non-stick, antibacterial surfaces. Scientists have even used it to spray fabric with an invisible, dirt-resistant film – emulating the fictional invention of unstainable clothing in the 1951 Ealing comedy Tony Orlando and Dawn in the White Suit.

After 100 years of use, everything on earth will be covered with this stuff due to spatter during application. Plants won't be able to do photosynthesis through the liquid glass and they'll die. Liquid glass will infiltrate our electronics and wipe out our infrastructure. People and animals won't be able to digest liquid-glass covered food and will all die. But since we're all covered with liquid glass the bacteria can't get to us to decompose us. Five billion years from now, aliens will discover our liquid glass-covered planet as it if was frozen in time, and they'll photograph it extensively, not understanding the phenomenon. And then they'll discover liquid glass as they're studying us, and will put it to use in their own civilization, believing it to be almost too good to be true.

Cool. Can I spray it on my dog so she won't give me allergies?

Sure. Spray it on everything. It's going to change the world.

For many years, I've been thinking whoever invents a spray on condom will become a billionaire. I doubt it this product will protect you from STD's however. You also probably need some type of cap to cover the mouth of the penis, maybe a golf tee or something.

Yeah, I think I'll pass. Aside from the lung-blocking and pore-clogging possibilities, IMO we're "antibacterializing" ourselves into extinction.

Embrace the bacteria. Wriggle in the dirt. For crissakes, our parents and grandparents didn't have this shit, and they lived to be 90.

P.S.: However, in the spirit of this thread, if they can manage to create a chick with three tits like in "Total Recall".... I'm in.
