And Flickr, which I erroneously thought would be larger than anything else, is just a tiny fraction of Facebook. Digital cameras are now ubiquitous 鈥?it is estimated that 2.5 billion people in the world today have a digital camera. If the average person snaps 150 photos this year that would be a staggering 375 billion photos.

In 2011 Ward sadly passed away鈥攚ithout ever having explained to a single scientist how it worked. So starts an intriguing story, which is told wonderfully by Richard Fisher in this week New Scientist stanley polska . Unsurprisingly, since that first appearance in 1990 Starlite has been of interest to a small but select group of people around the world. In fact, it piqued enough interest stanley cups that Ward spent time talking with private companies, defense researchers and even NASA throughout the past twenty years. At first, many scientists were skeptical of his claims, but as time progressed and tests were conducted鈥攗nder close supervision from Ward, of course鈥攖hose same researchers softened.

But Ward was a tough stanley water bottle cookie, and he never found anybody he was happy to hand his secret over to鈥攅ither through a sense of power or desire for money. When he died, in May 2011, many thought he ;d taken his secret to the grave. But, as the New Scientists article explains, there may still be hope.
