It was during a music festival that I met Siddhi, who was working on her PhD researching sensory technology for artificial limbs. We were both foreigners staying at the same guest house, similar in age and both music lovers we naturally became friends.  She was passionate for music and also a sax player herself, but a telling of hard wired scientist showed, thru normal small talks such as, ‘So what’d ya do?’.  She told me about her field, which began by explaining countless unfamiliar technologies that are already invented and utilized, and that her lab specifically, was inventing ‘Artificial skin that have senses’.  …3D printing a sensor onto bio artificially grown skin??? I had no idea, that robotic limbs were already invented, let alone the force to move it with your mind… Yes, ‘The Force’ is an applied science now. Isn’t that a dream come true. SF is just S.

“So, you think about it, and it moves? Impossible.”
