Compact Discs: Not of this earth.
Fringe technology theorists are convinced that the current technological renaissance is due to the introduction of advanced techniques by extra-terrestrials.
Compact disc technology has been used for military and space applications since the mid 1960's. Improvements in both media and playback techniques have progressed steadily since the end of the 1970's.
Mass production however, was postponed due to a lack of ultra high durability disc stamping materials and miniaturized lasers.
Enter the benefits of alien electoforming technologies and laser know how:
Recent theories suggest the possibility of wafer metals with the strength of plate steel and the thickness of Saran Wrap. Using intense, controlled quantum gravitational fields to augment the growth of the metal's crystal structure, the bonding qualities of ordinary heavy metals can be altered prior to shaping using the field.
This allows the stamping of millions of hair thin pits, only 10 angstroms high onto the surface of the familiar CD substrate foil without dulling the stamper.
This aspect of CD technology was allegedly developed in a period of under a year.
Other metal technologies include...
Similarly, laser technologies are on an accelerated track towards miniaturization and power output.
In 1982, lasers were desktop labortatory oddities. In 1983, they fit in your pocket. |
