I’ve noticed that the search results are getting less and less relevant to what I’m actually looking for. I guess one day the search bar will disappear like the headphone jack of the iPhone.
Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s who. I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t make a difference. As a matter of fact, I’m kinda curious to find out how much text can you dump in here. If you’re like really verbose, you could go on and on about any pointless…[no more than this]

Our current “forcefields” are super picky. They refuse to work with anything other than that one thing they were specifically designed for and the list of options is very short.
If you want to deflect things with a magnetic or electric charge, we already have the right kind of “forcefield” for that. However, it’s not exactly the kind of shell you put around a space ship to keep it protected, so even in this limited sense we still have a long way to go. The magnetic field of the Earth directs some of the incoming particles to the poles, which isn’t really ideal if your goal is to deflect all incoming fire.
If you want to protect the ship/planet from physical projectiles, we have no forcefields at all. That sort of stuff is just pure sci-fi at the moment.
