Can I ask you something? You and me and all of us except Chaz*, we're all going to die within a few hundred years. If you think about it, that means we have little time to waste. Is this, in light of everything you want to do but will not really have time for, the best possible use of your time? If yes, then, no, HF is not real, in the classical sense, but yes, it is in the post modern sense. If this is not the best use of your time, well, go away?
