  • I just hope the future with nanotech becomes something more than just another retail opportunity with technology. It has far more applications than that.

  • i want flying iphone!!!!!!!!!

    

  • "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." Rev 9:6 nanotechnology is the begining of something very occular to come.

  • @1billion1deaths1 Shut it christ fag.

  • @MinotawrTV dont be mad your understanding of equality is lame. If u believe in morality u believe in laws founded by religiouin and Idea. If u believe in animal origins survive to fit,,dont cowar under human philosophy of god.

  • @1billion1deaths1 What? Shut up. This isn't the place for your bullshit.

  • @MinotawrTV Do u really believe the human race would of survived ages with animal reasoning like yours instead of higher reasoning of understanding too hard for the likes of you to understand?

  • @1billion1deaths1 I haven't said anything that would require that kind of copy+pasted quasi-intellectual response. All I said was shut up. Which you must, as you're talking superstitious shit.

  • @MinotawrTV philosophy/laws are superstitious??? Iniquited fool!!! the human race is dumbfounded by your understandment of moral truth.

  • OMG, I wish I'd been born in 50 or 100 years time, where instead of having a printer to print a picture, I've got a nanofactory to make anything I want off the computer! I also want my own robot housekeeper who cooks gourmet meals every night and looks like Brad Pitt.

  • nano pants? i can see how the future will look like, were gooing to have to wear nano-armour around... lmfao

  • What he calls for at 03:25, i.e. 3D molecular structures, has now been achieved just a couple of days ago. He said it would take "a few years" in this video, but it took only one year! Search for "3D molecular structures built on a surface for first time" and Gizmag has an article on it.

  • @kasuskasus thanks for this! almost included obsolete information in my research paper... is Gizmag a reliable source? never heard of them...

  • @steezmonster92 Hey, Steez. Regarding Gizmag, I read their articles every day. I think it's a good source for techy news! Yet, if you're writing a research paper on this, you should probably check out the journal Nature Chemistry, where the work on 3D nano structures was originally published. Peace!

  • @kasuskasus thanks!

  • Thank you for posting.

  • Have anyone been able to create software that can control these small machines

  • @navylaks2 Yes if you are counting nature as the example or template...DNA is biological software that controls the nanomachines that make up our cellular hardware. My guess is that in some ways the software that will control these devices will have some of the properties of DNA and some of the properties of todays computer software. It will replicate using convergent assembly and other methods.

  • im planning to take a nano tech program in university. is there a career path in nano tech?

  • @IHateCuzUrGay

    oh i think so what if your program could controll nanomachines that could sniff out cancercells and destroy them or cells infected with H.I.V.

  • @IHateCuzUrGay yes check out ohio state.

  • He is good at explaining and describing complex ideas.

  • The implication is that those involved with Cryonics will be vindicated eventually

  • @DK0526 Cryonics is probably going to be moot anyway. If you think about it, all you really need is for life expectancy to increase by more than 1 year per year. That's probably a couple decades away. That'll keep you around long enough for scientists to figure out how to reverse aging, which'll be end of the century at the latest. Maybe as early as 2050, if there's a major breakthrough.

  • @SamSpade2010 I agree absolutely. Cryonics is simply a vechicle for those already clinically dead and for those who deanimate just before they can take advantage of the breakthroughs you speak of. Cryonics is an abulence ride to the future or a true life insurance policy that will hopefully project all its patients to a much more advanced hospital room and then fade from existance once it has completed its organizational mission. This may be why cryonics will never catch on......>

  • @DK0526 >.......... Many people who are waiting for absolute evidence that cryonics will work, are waiting for a time in the future when cryonics wont matter. By then for many of those people it will be too late. certainly for those already in cryonic suspension it would be too late. This is what we call the proof paradox. Although, there is deductive reasoning to support cryonics absolute proof will only come when a mature molecular nanotechnology revives someone and ends the need for cryonics.

  • @DK0526 Well, you know, we're headed for a very tragic time... there's gonna be countless instances where the kids make it on the train but not the parents. Same with spouses, friends, siblings, etc. Cryonics makes sense for those situations. But reviving a suspended brain... my feeling is it'll be millenia before that's possible because you'll have to basically rebuild the brain from scratch. Interest in cryonics will have long since evaporated, so you'll need very devoted and rich loved ones.

  • @SamSpade2010 I find it hard to be optomistic about the biological/genetic breakthroughs with out also being optomistic about AI and Molecular nanotech by default. They are all intertwined as information technologies and are thus subject to moores law which puts us a billon step ahead in 30 yrs rather then 30 steps. Along with such exponetial forces come shorter surprise timelines in the ability to completely reverse engineer brains and rebuild them from scratch another such force in economics>

  • @DK0526 >> is the law of compounding interest. Which the cryonics organizations and trusts they administer will most likely use to fund reanimation weither it is 30 years from now or 300. Either way cryonics provides for its patients a relatively static state that make s 300 or 30 years the same as a blink of an eye to an unconscious person. The loss of family, friends, ect is a problem that should actually increase inclusion rather then cause people to not join since certainly death is tragic.

  • @SamSpade2010 also brains are built from scratch all the time at least biologically. Once the human brain is simulated at the cellular level (see project blue brain) man will copy biology as he always does. This simulations wont take life times to program but exponentially smaller fractions of time which will happen soon then you and most people think. This is all a consequence of moores law and the larger law of accelerating returns. Man has done more in the last 100 yrs then the last 10000 yrs

  • Some teacher are just molecular created equally stupid! lol

  • this guy the way he explains is so easy i wish all teachers were like this

  • Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems and the beginning of the bigger industry ever maid in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.

  • that what they say i never trust futurologest

  • but then there is a paradox with my last comment, how can they make a micro nozzle with an opening the size of an atom, without already having nanostuctures or nano tools?

  • Can't they use a 3D printer to manufacture nano structures? a little bit of copper, a little bit of nickle etc. going through a micro sized nozzle being released in consecutive order could make a 3D structure if the nozzle was precise enough.

  • Wonderful talk. Although very generalist. This seems to be the first talk in a series. I would love to hear the rest of the lectures him...

  • Why are we already manufacturing bots to work with silica?

  • He did say godfather. Not the same. =)

  • Oh.

  • Ralph Merkle the father of nanotech? That's a little presumptuous. I'd say Feynman then Drexler.
