  • I'd give everything I own to own one of these machines!!! I want one invented NOW!!! At least before I'm dead.

  • They could scan the atomic structure of anything and programme in into this to make an exact copy! People could own exact copies of: the declaration of independance, billy the kid's gun, some of the world's first computers, anything! (Those were just some random things I would like to have btw.)

  • I better be alive when this is common.

  • @fyrverkerimamma yeah, that's called open source

  • @fyrverkerimamma somehow I think the concept of "we make household item and you buy it" will become obsolete at that point. So as "ownership" and "copyrights".

  • imagine the vidya you could play on that laptop . . .

  • Look at any work of art. If you could duplicate

    exactly the first atom and it's position, and then the next and the

    next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole,

    indistinguishable from the original in every way, including

    the so-called "moral value" of the art itself. Nothing can

    transcend its smallest elements. -SMAC

  • I'd love to see nanotechnology be made for purely defensive purposes before they go into any ventures of fabrication/AI/Medicinal uses. Let's learn how to use these to defend ourselves from everything we already have, before we venture into something that could potentially kill us all, in more ways than one.

    And by the way, what happens when just one of those millions of little machines breaks down?

  • I thought this was going to be one of those vids where a ghoul suddenly pops in front of you, screaming.

  • if we ever get personal replicators we're going to run into 'piracy' issues

  • @Zareste If you have a machine that is able to make things from molecules then what stops it from making food? or clothes or replicate itself from dust and dirt? If a machine like this sees the light of day the consequences will be far bigger than just piracy. It will change society as we know it.

  • @Zareste I'll replicate pirates. Bwahahaha

  • @Zareste  Nanosocialism!

  • @persevere67 haha you can't kill anyone this is a comment box

  • @persevere67 you go ahead and keep believing in your fairy tail while I turn immortal and rich beyond your wildest dreams into a true paradise that actually exists and one that wasn't made up from a science fiction book like the bible

  • @persevere67 Shut the fuck you you deluded brainwashed fucking Christian, go join your unicorn while we advance and live for ever.

  • @persevere67 Why are you using a computer? scientists made it. you don't deserve to use anything that is a product of science.

  • @persevere67 The sun is setting on the age of ignorance and ideology, my friend. I suggest investing your spirituality where it deserves to be --- the unity of man, nature, and technology. Best of wishes,

  • 2020 - Nanotechnology is in place for industrial, agricultural and medical applications,

    2025 - US found poorly educated because they ditched 'evolutionism' 'Darwinism' and 'Naturalism' for christian science after protest.

    2030 - US sits on stockpiles of nukes, demands China and europe provide their fat butts with resources then launch nukes but when those nukes are obliterated by nano interceptors they spit teeth at each other.

    2040 - US adopts new sciences beginning with Lamark evolution.

  • @ganados0 That sounds like a very plausible anti-doomsday situation haha. Frickin America, I swear 98% of the time I feel like a foreigner here. By the way I'm glad I'm not the only one that realizes that we can create effective nuke shields by deploying a nano-cloud that disintegrates anything the system identifies as dangerous. So many people think that offense is the only thing that's going to advance. Defense advances as well, jeez.

  • Nuclear fusion energy (free energy) and replicators (nanotech assemblers) will render money and economics null and void. Can't wait for the Star Trek future!

  • is this as powerful as the quantum computer or is this the nano assembled quantum computer? how exactly powerful is qc in comparison to pc?

  • so one day its 1ghz 1gb iphone the next day its a billion time better and thats 3exhz 2exb.

    Or in other words we can create drugs,booze,diamonds, stem cells, money, gas,petrol,

    haha but still, the future nerds will have a billion times better pc and still no pussy.

  • @panzarw

    True.

    They will have interactive digital pussy.

  • What what was the time duration of that process? An hour? five hours? A minute? 

  • I would make infinite ammo for all my guns. And unlimited gas for my truck.

  • @WTF1920 Nanotechnology does not equal violation of the laws of thermodynamics, fool. To simplify that in terms you can understand, it doesn't allow you to pull bullets or gasoline out of your ass. Real life nanotech (not the silly shit you are thinking of) will be an extremely limited use technology, with nieche applications limited to computer fabrication (as was demonstrated here). There are very good reasons in support of this stance, none of which you would comprehend.

  • @TheJamesrocket

    So let me get this straight, this "Nanotech Assembler" would be able to create a computer with billions of times more power than todays best...yet it wouldn't be able to make a simple piece of lead with a thin coppen coating? Dude, Whatever.

  • @WTF1920 Haha, shows how much you know on the subject! Fact is, the larger the object is, the less precision it can be manufactured with by nanotechnology. Production time is also far longer than competing technologys. Nanotech would only be usefull for medicinal uses, or fabricating small objects (hmm, kind of like those electronic components you mentioned). Dumbass.

  • @TheJamesrocket

    You're starting to annoy the hell out of me. If someone is wrong about something, you can say it in a way that won't make you sound like a dickhead.

  • @WTF1920 Believe me, there is a fine line between enthusiasm and wankery, just as there is about ignorance and stupidity. You, sir, have crossed that line.

  • @TheJamesrocket

    That's it, you're done.

  • @TheJamesrocket there already exists nanotechnology that turns dirt and air in to food, we call them plants.

  • If robots, computers, nanotech and anything else not mentioned, how or why even use money? Seriously, I see it as pointless, by that time the culture should be able to comprehend how to interact in such a high tech society.

  • Diamond-casing for my laptops... I wish. lol

    Oh! Make me a smartphone that would have the processing power of an i7 core processor equipped desktop!

  • I'd make a telescope.

  • i came

  • can it make woopy? hahahah Can it make..hmmmm a human skull?

  • @Grindednigg - haha. What would you do with it?

  • @vid828 actually i was wondering if it could replicate human bones to perfection enabling us to build cyborgs with these things.. bwahahahaha they need to make a movie about that.. lol take over the world.. oh yeah i robot and terminator. dang

  • @Grindednigg Umm, no, you are heavily mistaken. I don't see how the hell using nanotech to straighten bones out = posthuman, or why anyone would think they need nanotechnology to do that in the first place.

    Wrong tool.

    Gene engineering would allow you to do much more than merely straighten bones, it would give you bones that have triple the yield strength of the ones you have now, bullet resistant skin (like an elephant or rhino), and muscles capable of far greater exertion. You wouldn't be

  • superman, more like luke cage. Thats still vastly, vastly better than the weak bodies we are encumbered with today. Likewise, I doubt the kind of associations we make with cyborgism will turn out to be realistic in the future. People won't be walking around with pipes and shit sticking out from their body. Cybernetic implants will likely be designed to conform to aesthetic trends.

  • @Grindednigg it was an attempt at humor guy. lol you internet nerds love to flex your brain muscles so much you are oblivious to a joke. Of course at the same time there is alot of untold potential to these machines so whats to say im wrong? if its building things on a molecular structure why couldnt you make anything? provided that the amino acids and proteins were there you could have infinite outcomes. :)

  • @Grindednigg and id prob make a 14th crystal skull and store the sum off human knowledge in it then make a daring escape into space , blow up earth, contact a cyborg race of humans from the future on a dif world line give them my now primitive technology in hopes of taking my dna and other like attributes and replicating humans and altering there dna untill i back breed ever being in the universe leading me to meet god and ultimately beeting him at chess. I WIN!

  • Damn... Hey, how do they even think they are supposed to build all that?

  • At this time, Ill be that old crazy man, days from death saying "Back in my day. we didnt have our fancy computer makers and holographic gadgets, we had smartphones , tv, and our computers only had 3GB of Ram! would you belive it?"

    Oh grandpa and your rapidly fading memory.

  • The end of human labor slavery! I expect this in the 80s of this century

  • @max10wonderboy We could actually do this with what we know today! :) YouTube search "Moving Forward"

  • we will need molecular robots to repair the machine in this facility..... :)

  • When will this be possible?

  • @kermitcintronsucks its predicted for 2050/60s i think, long way i know :(

    I cant even imagine the things i will make!

  • The best that money can't buy...today's system of money won't allow for this to be available. Theoretically it would be too costly to produce, and it will cost too much for one person to buy. But hey, if money was really no object, this would be possible to produce. If the profit motive wasn't holding us back, everyone would have this by now.

  • @xchainlinkx Sorry but you are wrong.

    Your attitude reflects the constant that progress is impossible because it is very hard/expensive to do at this moment in time.

    Do you honestly think modern home computers were thought possible 30-40 years ago?, much less affordable.

    Your PC if taken back to the 60s/70s would be worth $TRILLIONS

    why isnt it expensive now?, simple its called progress.

    remember this famous saying;

    "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers,"

  • @wolfyys Yes you are absolutely right; but you forgot Moore's Law.

    Also nanomachines in the age of true nanotech will most likely be Von-Neuman machines, which build from one to millions exponentially until there are enough to nanofacture or modify or even transmute whatever the nanites were designed for. This system was described in Eric Drexler's book Nanosystems, in the 90s. Think how it sounded then - and now that we HAVE some nanotech, people still scoff! Incredible!

    Sry > rmvd, hard2post.

  • @wolfyys yeah and another thing bill gates said ages ago

    "Nobody will ever need more than 640 kB RAM"

    My laptop right now has 4,000,000kb of RAM (if thats 4gb)

  • @walker1054

    Actually the funny thing about that statement that Bill Gates made is funny.

    A laptop with 4GB of ram actually has 4294967296KB of ram, not only 4 million or so.

    Your laptop actually has 4194304 Megabytes, not kilobytes, so its a factor of 10 greater than what you thought it was. Thats exponential growth for you.

  • I hope this becomes real, would be awesome

  • Forget software piracy, we'll have physical item piracy.

  • no they r supposed to enter the consumer market in around 2062

  • How hypothetical is all of this?

  • How there gunna make tiny working robotic parts at a molecular scale IDK, but this would be awesome although unrealistic at the day and age.

  • I came. Literally.

  • @DrCowenstein Yummy

  • Somehow I see religion slowing this process down.

  • @ballsdeep69ish nano machines that may be able to cure all disease of the body is probably going to be the anti-christ

  • @ballsdeep69ish no, i see capitalism slow this process down

  • How the fuck is this related to gmod???

  • I want some in my eyes so I can have night vision and lasers like Superman!

  • Can you have it make me one of those?

  • can it make my homework?

  • @lvdmonstarr unfortunately no, unless it is A.I.

  • @lvdmonstarr It can make you a laptop with the fucking homework on it!

  • it's a motherfucking replicator.

    motherofgod.jpg

  • excellent way to reconstruct human tissues to restore life to dead people...nanobots injected into people frozen in cryonic suspension can be rebuild based on DNA blue prints fixing any molecular structure in the human body damaged by disease, aging or freezing. Then person is woken to a world where everything is made by nanomachines...free of labor or costs with near perfect design.

  • LMAO 1 billion CPU's. A little bit overkill there don't you think? XD

  • @pinkistoughjj

    nope.

  • @clbgeballe lol

  • if something broke, youd be f'd

  • my god I never thought of this. It seems like sci-fi!

  • Fascinating although unbelievable video - however I guess we can see by nature that this is within the realms of possibility. How does a potato grow - how does a baby grow in the womb ? Isn't this all wet nano at it's finest. We must iron out all the crinks but long term this is pheasable and will change the world and manufacturing drastically. I hope we can all have our personal nano manipulator in our kitchen one day ( creating all my favourite meals )

  • @mikkister this is all well and good but how the hell would you make repairs or make the parts to begin with? would you have a large machine make a smaller machine? then that machine makes an even smaller machine? and so on so forth. it seems kind of illogical at this stage of human technology

  • @zaperatus you don't have even a slighest idea what kinda technology they are using right now..

  • @laitela01 your right, i don't

  • A note on scale and time. A carbon atom is 67pm across. Each small block looks about 10 atoms wide, and each large block is 10 small blocks across; thus 6.7nm wide. The Final Assembly Machines are about 10 blocks apart, so at normal speed, each FAM would finish a 670x670x670nm block per second.

    At that speed the super-laptop (which looks to be about 6.7cm thick) would have a build time of 100,000 seconds, or just under 28 hours.

  • Looks like real life World of Goo.

  • after 100years

  • lol

  • hehe. Me and my friend where having a software vs hardware fight and he said that you could "print" 3D objects. I told him he was stupid, but now who's laughing?

  • I WANNA BECOME 529 years old!!!!

  • Can it make organic stuff, like an apple?

  • It can make anything, from anything.

    An apple from dirt, or garbage.

  • Comment removed

  • I hope I live long enough to see that

  • look 20 years ago at the computers available in those days...

    and then take into account that you will most likely live longer then your parents

    so probably you will :)

  • If you can manage to stay alive another 10 years then you'll have the chance at living forever.

  • @vman456 when will this machine become reality do you no the expected time

  • @lusaka99

    Uhh, it could be anywhere between 20-100, though I'd say around 40-50.

  • @vman456 that's long time i heard the first stage will be in 2015

  • @vman456 Not convinced, but it'd be nice.

    Am I the only guy who thinks that the whole "singularity" thing would be great if it happened, but it'll never happen?

  • @3Gyro

    Let me put it this way:

    Even if we don't get as far as the singularity, we're still gonna have some awesome technologies in our lifetime, and that is still something to be very excited about. :)

  • Ive been trying to tell my friends and family about the fact we will live forever and they dont even disagree. They seem to shrug it off like I didnt even say anything, like thats not important. Even when I give extensive examples of ALREADY existing tech that will lead us to the GNR revolutions (genetics, nanotech, robotics) they just seem to ignore it. Ignorant fools.

  • @ataraxic89 We're never going to live forever, nor will the government ever give the populace access to the technology even if a magical treatment method ever came into conception. Let's face it, a population that grows exponentially will only lead to overpopulation, a depletion of resources, and eventually our own deaths. Highly relative to cancer cells.

  • @NoobsAreUsh We will live forever, not everyone. But the technology will exist and I highly doubt they will outlaw it, they will want it too. Its not magical at all, that just shows how ignorant you really are about it. You know nothing and dismiss it because it sounds far fetched to your limited imagination and intellect. You also ignore the other tech that will be available. Like nanotech to recycle 100% and better space tech for colonizing and space stations. Fool.

  • @ataraxic89 Without evidence, all your talk of mystical scientific advances is just a fantasy. I've shown my side of the argument, and you try to insult me. No wonder nobody takes you seriously.

  • @NoobsAreUsh I can only fit so much into 500 characters you know.. Your side? whats that? no info at all and the ASSUMPTION that EVERY government on earth would prevent it. ONE simple example is that we recently, though genetic technology, REVERSED aged in lab rats. Yes this is early but it means we can seriously affect the rate of aging. One day we will end the genetic reasons for aging and then use nanites to help repair cellular damage. Also uploading our minds into computers is immortality.

  • @vman456 10 is cutting it a bit close, but definitely 20 or 30 years. Sooner if you are wealthy and can afford new treatments of course.

    2030 is the year to watch I think. A great confluence of different science fields will begin gathering momentum at that time. Our place in the universe, our abilities and our lifestyles will all begin to change rapidly and fundamentally around 2030. Only a global catastrophe could hinder this process.

  • @vman456 I'd say it's more like fifteen, but yeah I agree with you. A great deal of people in developed nations have a shot at it. Get ready for plenty of war, famine, and environmental destruction, though. And massive waves of immigrants. Best bet is north Europe in my opinion. Do some research on Denmark, Sweden, Norway, etc. They're looking pretty swell.

  • @vman456 Say what??

  • I was hoping some hella delicious chicken was going to pop out.

  • food can be organized like this no problem

    its much easier then laptops

    especially if you want it to be consistent and u dont care about looks

    imagine having something like this cook for you everyday

    something really really good XD

  • 100 hour battery life isn't enough, I need at least 100 trillion hour battery life.

  • they think 100 hours is enough? who the fuck are these people?! XD

  • Exactly, we talking about the future! Mah current laptop last longer than 100 hours, WTF!? nano laptop should be way moar.

  • the best laptops today have a battery life of 8 hours :P

  • Well then, apparently I have bad time management skills.

  • programmable matter, foglets, mems, replicators, catoms, and quantum dots are all names for this technology!!

    2020 low 2025 moderate 2030 extremely high and 2040 singularity!! banzai for immortality!!

    p.s.-- read up on Ray Kurzweil, he is fascinating at the things he predicts as futurist: source Moore's Law!!

  • I just hope this technology will be utilized for the well being of the human race and the entire planet as a whole. If so, then I am really looking forward to it.

  • Me too. if it is, then there will be golden age to look forward too unlike ever before.

  • Support your local nanoscientist! Anyone who doesn't recognise the potential of this amazing technology should sod off and live in a hole with the rest of the scaremongering luddites. To the quality types, see you in Bladerunner! Woohoo!

  • Right on! Nano-technology is the future!

  • nano-tech = killer virus

  • Comment removed

  • grey goo!

  • one billion cpus lol!

  • The Olsen Twins would lose all popularity, you could produce as many Olsens as you wanted!

  • oh god no!!

  • HEY, thats the laptop i use...

  • This is kind of scary to me.

  • Honestly... If We Were To Stop Researching Foolish Other Pursuits In The General Area Of This Technology... And Put All Our Energy Into Creating An Assembler... We Could Have Just One... Create Nano Machines That Do All The Work For Us....

    We Just Need One... To Make The Rest.... Its A Simple Scenario... Just A-lot Of Energy Initially To Bring It To Fruitage... Considering Most People Are Wearing... Nano Technology It Is Not At All Far Off.... Also... Look Into Oled's That's Incredible.

  • so... you want to create a machine that's too small to directly destroy, and give that machine the task of duplicating itself indefinitely? yep, we're all going to die

  • oh shit, i hope we dont give them AI we will get raped, they could build weapons -_-

  • This will be a reality in 20 years. Private sector permitting.

  • God save the computer scientists (myself included). We are going to need some pretty clever breakthroughs in software to be able to fully utilize 1 billion cores. Parallel processing insanity...

  • 0_o 1 billion cpus 100hour battery life...WOW!!!

  • this is complete bullshit. billions of molecular sized machines with conveyor belts ant stuff like that? humanity will destroy itself, not make shit like this. and that will happen because idiots like this one "knows" what will be in the future but they dont seem to improve now do they?

  • and it's negative, unoptimistic people like you who are causing humanity to "destroy itself". have a little faith. at the exponential rate that technology is increasing, especially these days, this could be perfectly doable within the next 10-20 years.

  • people said we would have flying cars by 2000. flying cars? were at 2009 and were in a fucking crysis. we would be lucky to live for the next 10 years.retard. you people allways look into the future, but you take no note to the problems of the present. there are thousands of children starving and you shitheads talk about a bright future in the next 10-20 years. im sorry, but you sir - are retarded.

  • that's a lot of wisdom coming from a 14-year old. *rolls eyes*

  • that's a poor reply to what i said.What does my age have to do with you being retarded OR just failing to accept the truth? Admit it im telling the truth, unless you post some good arguments i don't think you could prove me wrong. Either accept the truth, or stop being a retarded ape and open you're eyes. WOW im 14 y/o, for all you know i could be 5 years old and you're intelligence could be dust compared to mine.

  • first off, you are extremely arrogant and immature. second, no, you are not telling the truth. you've been listening to alarmist nutjobs for too long. mankind is not going to "destroy itself". compared to how things used to be in ancient and medieval times, we are living in some of the safest and most peaceful times mankind has ever seen. we are making great leaps in science, medicine, etc. technology is increasing exponentially, so in 10 years we could be twice as advances as we are now.

  • if everybody had your attitude, we would be about 50x worse off. nothing would get done, everybody would be even more pissed at each other, and there would be a lot more wars. sure, we could get into a nuclear war or something and destroy ourselves, but the most you can do is hope for the best. with the attitude you have you're not helping anyone or anything.

  • good point, but were all a little different aren't we? That's what makes our world so interesting.But that's not the point is it? We've taken this discussion deeper than the original topic. All im trying to say is that it's really quite stupid to predict machines of such level. People could go try to find a vaccine for a disease, or do something useful, instead of drawing crappy 3d animations of really retarded things. I looked up you're channel, you're 23 and have a similar taste in music :}

  • true, it's pretty hard to predict things like this, but you can't just automatically dismiss something because it sounds ambitious. before airplanes were invented, most people thought it was impossible to make an airplane. but who knows, i guess we'll have to wait and see where technology goes.

    oh, and it's always nice to meet a fellow metal fan \,,/

  • I must say you sound intelligent for only being 14. Just saying. :P

  • thanks, people around me call me smart because of my view of the world, and logic, although im REALLY bad at maths for example :)

  • lol i wanted to see some nanotechnology applications for my project, and here i see two fellow metalheads arguing, tsk tsk :P

    these things are not really fictional guys, nanotechnology is serious business, and it's yet to be improved, it's at its baby levels only now. but still there are current applications widely used, so this is not just crappy animation of "retarded things", it's something useful.

    so what, only metalheads are watching these videos? :P \m/

  • lol, i agree that nano technology is fact rather than fiction, but what this video shows is just dumb. silly nub.

  • 1 billion core? WOW :D

  • Heh eh, she said molecular tooool. heh eh eh.

  • *sigh* I wish I could see advances like this in my life time...

  • You probably will if you're under 40.

  • Fabulous concept and I hope it comes true in my lifetime but I fear that this sort of nanotech is going to become the 'flying car' of yesteryear.

  • yea i could make that machine easy...

    All impossible, prehaps in 500 years they will be working on an atomic level with machines moving atoms to make things, but they wont have atom sized machines...

  • i think the best bet for nanofreaks is to mimic nature. Bionanotech is the way to go

    manufacturing the actual machines on nanoscale is not a good idea imo

  • Actually 50 to 100 years is a conservative estimate. When the singularity hits this kind of thing will come upon us overnight.

  • singularity?

  • Technology increases exponentially. Look into Ray Kurzweil and the coming singularity if you want to understand how this kind of technology and much more will 'tidal-wave' upon us in the next 20 to 30 years. We already have nanobots that can fight cancer, regulate insulin, and regulate oxygen. They've tested them on animals.

  • they can already make atomic machines and move atoms around one at a time to make a product,thats old news look it up revorocks. doing it on a large scale like this, and make it available to every computer owner in the world, is a hell of alot more then 50 to a 100 years away mr.conservative.

  • I still dont understand,is electricity required in order to generate them?How is it possible to store electricity inside these nanos if required?

  • I like the nod to Powers of Ten

  • so what comes after this the manipulation of string in the M theory or the String theory?

  • why is it the size of a microwave why don't they come in a bigger sizes so we can create cars and spaceships for example?

  • This is a household model. They probably would have industrial models too.

  • AMAAAZINGG!!!!

  • I dont pretend to be a genius. But the biggest and hardest step in my mind is producing those first set of tools, in order to make more tools. These first tools would have to be made by hand practically am I right?

  • That is why it is taking so long to get to that point. Once we have one of those nanomachines, we can make more.

  • i think it's a delibrate push to slow down development of universal assemblers. I think the need to devise ways to work around the dangers is one aspect behind it and just plain needing people to talk about what the reality is in terms of CHANGE from every previous way of thinking.

  • anything can be "animated" using a computer - what is being represented in this video is way to complex. think of all the moving parts in side of a car engine... better yet a gear driving watch... show me the insides of those machines... what makes'em tick?

  • Anyone thinking "replicators" from Stargate SG1 or Atlantis?
