Extending Equations of State to Inhomogeneous Systems.

1. I love it when you bring some science into the discussions. We all need more exposure.

Over the past couple of years I have read that we are in an era of declining innovation. I think the basis for this opinion is comparing what has happened since the late 1800s and the end of the 1900s. Yes, there were incredible strides in many fields of science and technology. From horse-and-carriage to the moon, telegraph to cell phones, and amazing medical advances.

But I think we are in the midst of a flourishing explosion of knowledge that will power us forward (if it doesn't destroy us.) Great credit goes to the initial implementation of the internet, the web technologies, open data and knowledge sources.

Every morning I get news feeds about new nano (and below) technologies to observe atomic interactions, cell structures in vitro; as well as the amazing increases in knowledge from the James Webb and Hubble and other astronomical marvels.

Just to think that we (humankind) can build some of these apparatuses with such incredible precision makes me proud to be around.
