IIUC there are some people who understand it very well
but the application
of their knowledge is considered classified so it's not released

like RSA decryption used to be.
??? Must be good drugs over there ...
From the Wikipedia article on RSA:
"The RSA algorithm was publicly described in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi
Shamir, and Leonard Adleman at MIT; the letters RSA are the initials
of their surnames, listed in the same order as on the paper."
Or do you want to claim that a way to _break_ RSA ("decryption") is
known but not published (i.e. there's a non-quantum algorythm to
solve "prime factorization").
The funny thing is that the technology that can be
created using this
technique would probably solve the energy crisis if this knowledge
was allowed to be used for civilian purposes like power stations. It
would probably also be useful for deep space exploration. ( Avatar
scale not Hubble scale )
gee, really good drugs ...
Depends on the fuel used of course. One thing we do
know is the
humble pistol crab can generate impulses with the same heat
intensity
Over here, impulse is measured in "mass x velocity", neither of which
expresses "heat intensity" (in kelvin?). Care to elaborate?
Cheers and a happy new year
