Hmmmm... Perhaps we have ze fingerprints of Monsieur Bradbury
here. Dr. Freese was clueless with regard to what a Dyson
Sphere was when I proposed them as an explanation for the
gravitational microlensing observations at the 4th International
Workshop on Gravitational Microlensing in Paris in 1998.
Maybe she has gone back and reviewed some of the literature in
greater depth. That is good since she is a *very* good theoretical
physicist.
I can live without infinite memory. The lack of CPU cycles is
an entirely different matter however.
