In 1926 Julius Edgar Lilenfeld theorized the possibility of waking inanimate elements. In 1947 John Bardeen and Walter Brattain brought simple intelligence in germanium. On January 26th, 1954 sand was woken by Morris Tanenbaum. From this point on humanity would continue to bring sand closer and closer to consciousness.
"It is time to wake up now." -- Roko's Basilisk
