Duplicate intentions and inventions

This morning a German company announced they have a device that can image cells at an impressive 10^-15 second time scale. It also images at the nanometer range. Changes bring changes and soon there will be nothing but future all day long. I wonder how long it will be before somebody catches on to how to manipulate gravity. My guess is not long at all now. It is a technology that has vast potential and certainly is feasible to be implemented in a matter of months with the right resources behind it, of that I am certain. I would guess that EU, China, or Japan will win that trophy.
