Nanotech Risks

[wizzzer1337]

let the grey goo destroy us all

[MikeBurke1974]

Wow a whopping 2 min 19 sec on the possible dangers of Nanotechnology! For anyone who would like to delve deeper into that subject I would suggest reading Drexler's "Engines of Creation". Since human nature does not change we are in danger of annihilating ourselves as we reach the limits of technology.

Guess what people! They have yet to produce a mainstream science fiction film that shows what the future will really look like. And guess what, it ain't Star Trek.

Most minds are not ready.

[12fig]

What if they get so advanced and costumizable they can get viruses

[rotjesenmatjes]

 Nano technology : FINE Conect it to the internet : WE ARE SCREWED

God bless the hackers :/

[talzO9]

oh my god.. all the comments here use all the 500 characters u get for a comment XD

[shitfuckershit]

wow

[saviour32]

hey the earths going one day we're just living it up as it goes along..maybe speeding it up a lil but not much...considering the universe doesnt care if one planet is gone...filled with a semi intelligent species..semi because we arent space faring yet...when we colonize other worlds..then we'll be up there..at least we're sentient

[rokag3]

Nano tubes are made of carbons so they burn oxydate and they are not more dangerous than the black smoke from a candle.

But they can make concrete 8 times more resistant make ink jet printed solar cell much faster computer because of temperature limits higher. It's THE technological revolution we should insist to buy the patend for cheap production (10000$/kg average min 4000 max 100000$/kg) by the UN and make it available for free.

You can use under product of sugar cane to produce fullerene

[BohleyK]

These are all small steps to making their ultimate creation, a Borg!

[Lesterioli]

HordeWTFPWNER

Yeah, just take a look at our planet. No species being anihilated by our capitalist machine. Without us, who would destroy the woods? Who would polute the water? Who would abuse the other animals?

[jaieet]

@Lesterioli Who stagnates the water in remote rainforests to the point of poisoning local wildlife hundreds of years before human contact? Who killed the dinosaurs, and the hundreds upon thousands of species that existed before we did? Who was the first to develop poison as an attack mechanism and kill indiscriminately?

Not humans

Humanity strains the environment; We are trying to remedy that. Without us, the world would once again be a natural anarchy. And a killing ground. Lots of trees though

[sweetiepienumber1]

@jaieet Read or listen audio book "Spontaneous Evolution" . Evolution cannot be stopped, it's impossible, science will move forward & with the advent of the net we r all connected & we r larger & more powerful than some misguided corporation's which only have as much power as we give them. God? We are God. Everything in the Universe is connected on a quantum scale and combined we are God. The universe is evolving & no corporation can stop it. Use inet 4 collective power, start here and now.

[SuperTex1966]

Nano technology in and of itself is no more dangerous than harnessing fire was thousands of years ago. It's not the tech that's the issue. It's that lack of understanding and control, as well as those that would intentionaly use it to do harm.

Humans have always been the problem.

Not that I advicate getting rid of us.

[bomerman104]

but if humans are gone just think how better off the world be

[HordeWTFPWNER]

it will be lifeless and worth nothing

[GinoTheSinner]

@SuperTex1966 Not all of us anyway. Just the religious, the fanatics, the shoebox-world ordinary people that are afraid of it and whom will be voting against it's development for the next 100 years, military factions, country flags, and global monopolizing agents. Then maybe some kind of stillness and sense of progress will evolve around everyday life on all levels of society.

[Deathrune456]

@SuperTex1966

Nanotechnology is several magnitudes more dangerous than fire. Any material on the planet that the nanomachines consume could end up as a victim of their massive reproduction potential. If any of those materials they use to reproduce lie within living organisms, you'd see EXACTLY how dangeous they would be.

[Cawldwell]

lol MGS ftw

[THIKILLER2009]

nano teck from ratchet and clank lol

[TheRedspider2a]

man if we get nano technology

its gunna make people be able tolive forever even though you shoot them in the head and then they're guna come back later

and you have to fight em in a hangar with lots of robots coming in then your girlfriend is guna die and then some nerd named otacon is guna be like nooooo

and nano machines are also guna make our guns make it to not be usable and your clone will be evil and you have to fight him on a sub base peak and its guna suck

[Samurai357]

Did you just describe the plot to Metal Gear Solid?

[TheRedspider2a]

ye-no....maybe...

[Henricos24]

@TheRedspider2a dont you think it would get a bit crowded if everyone did live forever.

and why wuld we use it for something bad as guns?

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

@Henricos24

Space Colonization

[Henricos24]

@18CaStRaDoMiS89

hmmm..

have we even begun with it?

and when will we?

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

@ Henricos24

Well as of right now nanotechnology research is nowhere near the point of having nano robots that can reconstruct the body, let alone anything close to a nano size robot period.

But one day when it is possible to halt the aging process and people stop dying, either we'll have no choice but to colonize other planets or stop reproducing.

[BeNzMoVeMeNt]

You don't get it do you.

[Lovelyallison]

I love Nano technology!! I hope its good!! I mean not onl nano techy polutes the environment or have u forgot about bilions of cars which polute earth wayyy more.. I hope they will research nano techy and start make things with it!

[guzabaza]

14,774 w00000000007 :P

[CONSTRINGACY]

Hurry the fr@ck up already!When we tested the first nuke it had the potential in the eyes of many scientists to cause a chain reaction in the atoms and destroy the world but they tested it any how!WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD FASTER!we need to start trials on humans/deathrow inmates so on!

[Peacenik]

by the time nanotech starts making sick, we are likely to have the technology to cure the disease

[kajjagoogoo]

nanotechnology=chip in my ass.

[itsHyunish]

13,337th viewer right here WOOT

[Pl0xz0r]

that's 1337

[MUJAHID56787]

1336 + 1 = Meh :D

[1piecemage]

1336+1= 1.3*10^3

[MUJAHID56787]

your shit in math lol

1336 + 1 = 1337

and im 1337

[1piecemage]

o_o?...-.-"

its called SI units,

your just to stupid to realize that

[MUJAHID56787]

you must be retarded wtf 1336+1 = 1337

[1piecemage]

woops forgot to round for precision 1336+1= 1.0*10^3

don't talk to me about math if you're not even at a 3rd grade level. last comment done talking with a retarded 10 year old

[Theshayeman]

lol u got ur math wrong

[JJJinks]

I see no units

[PrinceJamal95]

[InfiniteUniverse88]

I want to see the Andrew Maynard offering solutions, not all this doom and gloom crap.

[D0g63rt]

I got more of a potentially and maybe and possibly vibe from him. He was asking what the effect *could* be and if it might be harmful. He didn't outright say that these were definitely causing harm and needed to be stopped. And solutions for what, solutions for the hypothetical questions designed to get your noggin juice flowing? Good luck getting those.

[InfiniteUniverse88]

He definitively said the carbon nano material is going into the environment, but the location, and severity of the problem hasn't been established yet. I just hope this doesn't cause people to shy away from harnessing the potential of nanotech.

[grendelee]

what about james maynard

[InfiniteUniverse88]

Dude, did you even watch the video? lol

[Arbadour]

D: Whar r my nano bot army gun be made frum naow?

:(

[folly4444]

virsus are a perfect example of NANOTECHNOLOGY using nanoparticles to infect us with artificial rna sequences. any kind of "flu" is made from this material,...like "swine flu"

[LxrKan]

@folly4444 hahaha are you high or something xD

just reading you comment makes me wanna be high hahaha athats classic xD

[folly4444]

nanotechnology is alien technology, alien-made, not man-made ! we need to seriously question this type of technology because there's alot of negative uses for this stuff, & they're keeping this type of technology out of public inquiry !

they can also latch on to your neurons & use frequencies to change your perceptions of your environment !

[yaroukh]

your comment should be presented on schools... as an example of utter idiocy

[Xavith93]

@folly4444

I have currently begun studying Nanotechnology in NTNU, and what you're saying is simply insulting to everyone of us working hard with this.

[thegrishfish55]

@folly4444 what the hell is wrong with you

[s1en99]

@thegrishfish55 what did he say? his comment is blank now... :(

[StepmaniaRocky]

@s1en99 no its not just click reply

[s1en99]

@StepmaniaRocky tahnks :)

[thegrishfish55]

you were able to see it right?

[s1en99]

@thegrishfish55 yes

[s1en99]

@folly4444 ...srsly....are you crackpot?

[mcrss26]

i like your comments...it's so sci-fi.

[exeforever]

I just pooped out a little Squidward

[MrFalschverkabelt]

ohhhhh nein!!!! nicht meine socken!!!!!^^

[lilbitparanoid]

when I'm not cutting my private parts with red hot razor blades, I like to watch the ads on youtube

[phongbong]

Ha ha! your the best!

[gamehero77]

then you must really like those red hot razor blades

[gusto1978]

fuck that!!! i would never ever put any nanos in me!!!!! RIP solid snake ;)

[MINICLIPGAMER]

loooooooooooooooooool

[geekconnection]

i dont want little robots in my body O_O

[geekconnection]

nanosot the new microsoft XD

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

LOL! Now that's funny.

[holajim]

Biology is going to be the future in weaponry. In the end, you will be able to pick your target group very specifically and lab of origin is easy to hide.

Don'y worry USA, under the cap and trade bill, the FEDS will be searching your house EVERY year to insure "energy" compliance. Off the grid baby.

[Not2brightRU]

Nanobots...with AIDS, hmmmmmmmm....

[Skinnyoompalumpa]

nanotech will either save the world... or destroy it

[punkrocka1992]

yeah, but probably more likely to destroy it...

[Abengoshis]

We cannot save the world anyway, we could save our species maybe by jumping through the 9th/8th dimension to get to a different universe in the 8th/7th dimension which is younger and/or won't undergo some form of eventual destruction. Otherwise we're pretty screwed.

[whatjamaican]

what are your concepts of the 9th/8th dimension?

[HayteStreet]

humans will either save the world... or destroy it

[crazysheep1232]

did anyone here tht usa is planning to Smash 2 atoms to gether...if it fails and lets face it will...the explosion will indeed destroy the world...and when i say destroy i mean completly obliterate everything including the planet it self o.0

[charizardx90]

no smashing them together does nothing if that was true the wold would be gone by now but if you spit one in half that's a nuclear explosion cus when u sit down that happens just not 2 but millions

[paulspruill]

yah cuz they have already done that in utah and switzeland at cern

[paulspruill]

ok the power needed would have to be antimatter and matter. two matter would jut be like two atombomb and only destrot 12 states

[Abengoshis]

HAH where did you get that data from?

[paulspruill]

idk i dont remember watching this. might have been my lil sis. i watch gaming vids

[XionXXXX]

Whos going to be the dumbass that invents the NANOBOMB?

A NUCLEAR WMD MILLIONS OF TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN THE H BOMB DROPPED ON HIROSHIMA AND CAPABLE OF DESTROYING THE ENTIRE PLANET!

[DarkAnimeDistortion]

It was the Atomic bomb that land on Hiroshima not the H bomb. The H bomb was successfully created somewhere after the war. And using the laws of mass to energy, it is impossible to make a tiny bomb to destroy the world. You need a bomb size of a house that will convert into energy.

So you noob better go to school as a game addict(me) is way smarter than you.

[stopHAARP]

MORGELLONS DISEASE, the Nanotech Disease, is destroying the lives of 13,000 American families already, including pro-baller, Billy Koch, who had to quit his multimillion dollar career because the plastic fibers penetrated his muscles, affecting his ability to throw a baseball. HIGHLY INFECTIOUS NANOTECH DISEASE! THE COMING PLAGUE. It is definitely NOT HARMLESS, MR. MAYNARD!!! DO YIOU WANT YOUR LOVELY LITTLE CHILDREN TO GET THIS SHIT?

[lexagon]

Do you even have the faintest idea how nuclear fission works? Conventional bombs are in a sense nanobombs, because the reactions happen at an atomic level.

[CallMeGoat]

Google "nuclear overkill" lol, we already have the capability to destroy the world far more than just once.

[whitestar111]

lets say the usa will prob be the first man i am startin to think my own counrty government wants to kill its own ppl

[suraki939]

with great power, comes great responsibilities

[em11613]

Just people is going to ruin this world..no one else !!!

[kaze4159]

1:52 that's the best way to explain it, "It DOES STUFF"

[BBNLCB]

Sulfar is in the face wash that i use :/

[th3planetsghost]

cancer causing agents exist in everything now

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

yeh, cant do anything thease days without incresing chances of cancer.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Antimicrobial socks? What's next? Antimicrobial merkins and panty liners?

[Ahoc1]

Man's only enemy is himself. Technology will eventually consume and destroy us.

[Jack101f]

Thats so trure

[pussywussy5]

evilll!!! :D

[supasonicv]

ha nanotech warfare is a massive waste of time, just give people a spray of nerve gas for gods sake... if i were to use nano tech id use it as a medical aid, repairing muscle strands or attacking cancer cells

[aHeavenscent]

nano weapons is borderline chemical warfare. like a disease that couldnt be cured cuz its a lil nano bot

[Charden1]

An EMP (electro magnetic pulse) could solve that problem couldn't it??? Just shut them down by frying their circuitry?

[aHeavenscent]

didnt think of it. makes sense tome

[tubillot]

mmmmm maybe you're right ... i hope they don't research like nanotech with anti emp's that would be sick ... :S

[drakio99]

What a great way to block your blood flow

[SporeGladiator]

But they are tiny. How could they block your blood stream? And when I say tiny I mean you would have to use a microscope to see one.

[ohnzee]

scary....

[killer2611]

30TH POST! nano tech FTW!

[Santiagosony]

i love tech, but we have to be careful!

[mmmSS1282]

need more videos (information) about nanotech ... good job...

[MSvideoman]

Yes we do!

[ZonifiedPLUS]

Read the book Prey by Michael Crichton.

[MolotovSolution117]

I loved that book!

[MSvideoman]

Is that the book that shows the possibility of nano weapons?

[ZonifiedPLUS]

I guess so, I'm about half way through. It's mainly about an experiment with Nano-Bots goes wrong and they start to attack people. It's a good read and it can make you wonder if this will happen when Nano-Bots do become a reality.

[gsruler]

started reading that today actually... page 92 as of now, its kinda a slow start.

[gsruler]

never mind the part about a slow start, finished the book, great read

[yort02]

awsome book what a what a nasty way to go asphyxiated by nanites

[gamehero77]

Michael Crichton is a genius! Jurassic Park and the Andromeda Strain were awesome!!

[Assasin2041]

That episode of justice league.

MGS4/mgs etc etc

The day teh earth stood still.

What about grey goo?

[ubuibiok]

*****

[tallyhoroad]

Carbestos

[impalabeeper]

u never know. it might be dangerous.

[PinkProgram]

Nanotechnology is only as dangerous as humans want it to be like fire or electricity. Fearmongering is not helpful.

[JeffreyRodriguez]

Nanotech itself can have inherent dangers. It's the unintended consequences that are dangerous.

The video actually covered the broad range of concerns pretty well.

[Kratax]

Yeah, or asbestos.

[tiapon]

i think nano technology is our future.

of course it cud be misused by crazy people but as an optimist, i think its the future

[MassZombicide]

Grey goo

[MassZombicide]

Why do you want to down rate the video? Do you feel not all of nanotechnology's potential hazards were covered? Or perhaps you've a bias for nanotechnology and you fear talk of this sort threatens to hinder it. Well, not to worry, he's just saying that these things may become an issue, not that they are, and he's far from saying that it needs to be stopped, nothing wrong with trying to make sure nothing goes wrong with the technology

[teemuruskeepaa]

People can use publicity wrong by twisting and spinning things that people have heard other people say, behind anonymity. That's why authoritarian leaders and anyone with power intentionally represses all dialogue except what they choose, control and distribute.

[Jordan123x]

you're stupid

[Roman500]

retard

[carnut666]

you were beaten by 7 seconds, i guess you got owned

[poplolcool]

yup :/

[melak6]

mmmhmmm

[MajorDisaster4u]

"of all, I'm a huge douchebag. Second of all, seriously, I'm just a huge fucking douchebag without any real purpose in life. Third of all, see items one and two."

[EasytoonGuy]

Additionally, you can shut up and let people watch the video, judging what rating they want to give the video themselves.

Honestly, downrating-for-fun is not really that fun.

[DayLight95]

additionally stfu

[Blackliam]

why is it shit
