Every great human achievement of knowledge begins with an idea. Sure, the individual is in the middle of things, from beginning until the end. And Individual initiative is not devoid of risks, especially in the border domains, especially for those human fellows of the species who push history ahead to the impossible.

However, men do not stop from having initiatives and ideas; they never cease to try to issue theories for overcoming the barriers which natural environment rises in every passing moment. And these ideas, especially for those who manage to impose them bring benefits. We all know Edison, who turned the luxury of electricity into something so common that we barely notice it today. And Einstein will always be on the lips of physics students and scholars alike that learn or study the relativity theory.

That is not so often remembered are the materials that are indispensable for achieving all human inventions. The loyal, patient and disciplined various elements which are needed for the applying of human knowledge are always forgotten.

The titanium metal is such an example. It took more than 50 years from his initial finding for his merits to be fully recognized by the human society.

And though since then it has been described in terms such as mysterious, extravagant, fascinating, noble, unusual, vital and critical, it is my personal belief that we are far from realizing its true potential and the current applications need to travel a lot of distance to fully harness all of the qualities of titanium.

What I want to do is expose this unique material to you with all that it’s possess. The titanium metal has some unique properties that have yet to be fully explained by the scientists. That rules out any technology that possible could use them of course.

Apart from ingratitude, we humans have also the not so likeable ability of underutilizing what we find. It took us some thousand years in order to understand that rocks could grant us the god’s gift - fire. In the mean time we merely threw them against our prey or our enemies. It took us some other thousand years to understand that the same rocks that we were used to toss around carried the invaluable metals that could rise us above the animal regnum.

It’s true that we can learn. We needed just half a century to understand that this critical element can raise us above the sky into the unexplored vastness of space or grant us the possibility of reaching the former unreachable depths of the oceans.

We learn. But we must not forget. As we forgot copper and iron, which are now regarded as no more than mere commodities that we can dispose at will. They both were, in there time, tools of the breakthroughs that made humanity advance into the future.

Titanium element has already given us much more than any other metal. That’s why we should explore it, we should know it, and we should understand it. So that our grandchildren would not pity us for not fully understand the true nature of this noble metal, though we lived in what they would most likely name “The Titanium Era”.
