        Disgraceful. Grant money should be going towards conducting proper research to ask big questions. We already understand the properties of solid/liquid phase transitions. If I had this money I would task a team of researchers to answer one simple question: will it blend?

        Pretty sure there already is a cure for cancer. Tell Big Pharma what you’re melting plastic for and you’re liable to get Arkansided.

        It wouldn't surprise me but there's a lot of independent scientists working all around the world, I feel like someone would've found it by now and made it public if it existed

        You would think, but unfortunately, there is greed & evil in the world. Murders, many murders, many many murders committed to keep the greedy evil bastards in control. I truly believe the cure has been known for years. Sad.

        If that's the reality of what's going on, I can only wonder if this is a dystopia we're living in :-(

        Ha. What’s the breakdown on that ask for money? The number of army men, propane for fire or maybe really good safety goggles?

        I hope they transition into melting things with renewable energy. The melting potential of a magnifying glass on G.I Joes is under appreciated.

        Supposedly the scientist asked to use the streets of Manhattan in August for their melting experiments but the mayor declined stating environmental concerns.
