Terahertz electromagnetic radiation?  Petahertz?  Who knows?

I recall hearing an article (NPR) about EXTREMELY high frequency EMR.
Apparently, the study of it is still fairly new, and it has some very promising
applications.  Empirically I feel as though there must be some upper limit 
on frequency, but mathematically I don't know that I could understand it.

Or people with a thin grasp on thermodynamics...just smart enough to be a
real danger to themselves and others!
