While this would be 'cool', make the room have nicely blurred lines,
and might even absorb sound nicely, it wouldn't do much for low
velocity stuff like moving air molecules... Even high energy stuff
like small grains of dust moving at high rates of speed don't
completely penetrate (according to NASA and their comet experiment...)

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely
learn a great deal today.
