Crash on over there, David, and find out about the earliest manuscript of
the I Ching written on silk. It's not at all so different from what
you've got in translation, sans commentaries, of course. You'll find
it under Mangwandui. If you're still interested after that, the
book's available in translation by a gentleman by the name of
Shaughnessy, if I remember to recall my recollections correctly.
Jim, you should join the Foresight institute newsletter. They provide
lots of links to nano info and nano events incl. quantum comp. The nano
folks are the guys 'n gals that want to construct a ham and egg
sandwich one particle at a time, from scratch!
And by the way, here's a question: what's the smallest poem you've
ever encountered? I'm not talking about shortest--I'm talking
smallest.
I have a special edition of a poem which I inscribed on a single grain of
rice. Only did two of them. Of course this was in my younger, happier
days, when I could paint with a single-hair brush.
Anybody gone smaller? Jim?
