Walt Disney -- futurist

Hi,

ABSTRACT: We investigate whether it is physically possible to build starships
or power plants using the Hawking radiation of an artificial black hole as a power
source. The proposal seems to be at the edge of possibility, but quantum gravity
effects could change the picture.

I'm sure my physics friends can demolish this one, but it makes for some fun thinking. If it is feasible, then we should vigorously avoid developing menacing red robots.
