Flux Pinning in The Future
Many studies have shown that flux pinning is capable of assembling items and also being able to dock different things together. Flux pinning and its ability to be applied to joints of telescopes could offer up an alternative to building telescopes and satellites and could save money. Throughout the efforts of 21 teams selected to participate in NASA’s FAST program (Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology Development and Training) and with their successful experiments this future seems not too far away.

Famous quotes containing the words flux and/or future:
“Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
—Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
