We are running out of Helium!!!

"Quick: What do MRI machines, rockets, fiber optics, LCDs, food production and welding have in common?

They all require the inert, or noble, gas helium for their use or at some stage of their production. And that helium essentially could be gone in less than three decades, Robert C. Richardson, winner, along with Douglas Osheroff and David Lee, of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics, said at the 60th annual Nobel Laureate Lectures at Lindau today. “Once it is released into the atmosphere, say, in the form of party balloons, it is lost to the Earth forever—it is lost to the Earth forever ,” he added"

Helium wants to leave us, it's in its nature. So , apocalyptic times are ahead.


"That which God has taken 4.7 billion years to create will be dissipated in a little more than 100 years,” noted Richardson. “One generation doesn’t have the right to determine availability forever.”

1. Couldn't the hadron collider be rigged to make helium in its spare time?

You know bust up bigger atoms and make smaller ones. or Whichever works for ya.

3. “One generation doesn’t have the right to determine availability forever.”

There are so many things that statement could be applied to.
