Nah, I like this version of Mills' magic better: "We will have a working prototype by {sometime in 2001}, and a commercial product by {pick a date, any date!}".If you like magic, the virtual particles (including negative energy and momentum) of QED and the inflation theory of cosmology (etc) should keep you entertained and perhaps entrained.
It's amazingly versatile, just rinse and repeat, every six months or so ...
