cool format

Hey thanks, glad you like it. It's still early days so I'm experimenting a lot... Any ideas for how it could be improved?

[@Trang-e7q]

Finally, science is catching up with comic books! Does this mean we could swing through cities like Spiderman someday?

[@plasmapausetv]

Yeah it's so crazy! I don't think we'll be able to do all the things Spidey does, in the ways that Spidey does them in the movies... but it is looking like eventually... I'm gonna say somewhere around 20 to 50 years from now, we'll be able to live out our Spiderman fantasies with a Spidey suit on. And I think in another 100 to 200 years, I think all the suit capabilities will be integrated into our skin. Who knows?! :-P

80x the fibers strength!? That’s like… the weakest piece of string I’ve ever heard of xD Cool tech though with the solidification :)

[@plasmapausetv]

I know right? Especially since this is version 1.0. Just imagine how much stronger this stuff will be a few more iterations down the road! The real question is how long until it can hold a human :-D

[@beaconofwierd1883]

@ I mean, it can already hold a human… you just need around a 1 kg string to support the human :p

[@plasmapausetv]

Oh yeah, very true, that's an excellent point. I guess I was thinking about having a super thin, lightweight string like Spidey does in the movies.
