I feel like GIR may have influenced the way I interact with people (I am prone to strange comments that are too loud sometimes). Is this safe? Or should I get checked for piggies?

What do you hope to see happen within physics within your lifetimes? Is there a particular piece of the puzzle that you want solved for closure?

Have you used any of the drought mitigation techniques that were used in Australia a few years ago? Do you have any thoughts on how the current drought in California might change people's use of water in the US in the future?

Cool, thanks for the detailed response. You are very good at this AMA stuff, I might add!

I thought of the hollowed sections as more of a last resort type thing, or as a possibility for a multistory road system (This is dream of mine for larger cities, but it's not something that is feasible right now).

Awesome! I have been thinking about prefab a whole bunch lately, as it crossed my mind as an interesting design choice for non-structural projects.

• Would you set different standards for each grade of road?

• What kind of load bearings were you considering for each slab? Erm, what inspired you to go with roads as opposed to anything else?

• And, more because my thoughts were floating in this direction, would you consider a set of slabs that also had reinforced hollow sections below for electrical/phone line cables?
