Avatar--"Unobtanium" As a Material
If anyone has seen Avatar yet—or even the trailer—one of the McGuffins is a material called "unobtanium." (Which looked like a chunk of mica to me...:)) It is a material that is apparently cheaper to transport several light years rather than synthesize.
Anyone care to speculate on what sort of material that could be? (We would have to assume that it is a compound, not some sort of new element, since a new heavy element would probably be unstable and radioactive, and we aren't told that this is the case.)
