TriPong Anyone?
At a recent retreat with some class-mates, I was reminded just how much I stink at ping-pong (though I still enjoy playing). Now someone has invented 3-player ping-pong, so I can get beat by two people at once!

But the more interesting part of the article gets minimal treatment:
His spatial relativity theory involves the String Theory, the Big Bang theory, quotes from Albert Einstein and something Boyd calls the “elemental particle.” It is, he contends, the smallest possible piece of physical matter in the physical universe.
He claims that if he could break down space into these basic particles, they could be used for electricity.
. . .
Boyd is seeking investors to build a prototype spatial energy converter to test his theory, which he said could have energy, medical and military-industrial applications.
“This should be easy to disprove,” he said, “But if we are correct, we’ve revolutionized physics and the electric grid as we know it won’t be needed anymore.”
Now that could get interesting. But I can’t find anymore information on this guy or his theory. Probably junk science anyway. Oh well.
