Nicolay Beluchenko has found a solution for an unsolved stabilization problem described by Hartmut Holzwart back in February. Since the wick in question moves orthogonally at c/4 -- so it might better be called a "wave" rather than a "wick" -- a standard stationary oscillator can't be used as a fencepost to stabilize its ends. Instead, special-purpose terminal spaceships must be constructed that travel along with the wave with the appropriate speed and direction to provide the stabilizing sparks.
