  • 9:04 I rolf'd

  • Neal Stephenson Anyone?

    The diamond age is here

  • Gotta love those great holy shit moments.

  • The reality of personal fabricators would turn everything, and I mean everything, on it's head. Economy, security, privacy, safety, health, science, recreation, everything! Holy shit indeed!

  • 20 years? holy piss, we could have literal immortality by then o.O

    with little machines in our bloodstream adding and removing things, we could have these fabrication doo-dads make what our body has difficulty producing and we could replace the bad ones.

    Sign me up. I don't have much in life to worry about. haha

  • "scavenge molecules from their environment, and to reproduce themselfs" lol looks like a replicator from Star gate.

  • 9:05 he says holy shit!

  • The main head in charge of the nano robots is going to be like V.I.C.K.I. from Irobot. Haha.

  • i fucking hate this army lunatic fear-mongers bastards!!! i dont give a shit about their opinions.... all they can think about is WAR! DANGER! WEAPONS!! you give them an apple and theyll say that u can swallow the seeds and die... so its DANGEROUS!!!

  • you put shit into the machine to create food

    you eat that food and produce shit

    rinse and repeat

  • @xfraudbuster

    Fertilizer

  • Self replicating nanobots for warfare....hmmm for a moment i thought i would see Keanu Reeves lol

  • 5:44 a replicator from Star Trek !!

  • 3 ppl are idiots

  • one can combine other nanobots with the real functional nanobots , that would destroy all the extra nanobots once they start replicating out of control.Then deactivate themselves once the number falls to the predesignated value , exceeding which,will re trigger the response of the killer bots.As long as the two dont develop intelligence and make peace wel be fine :P

  • I'm sure it's somewhere in the comments: FoxDie.

  • What about the conflict of the device making money? Because that's pretty much all I would ask it to make for me.... heehee.

  • @flowerofsilver Why make money if you could create the very things you'd buy with the money?

  • Replicator:

    1. A device in the Star Trek universe that can crate any material or food that's in it's database.

    2. A race of machines from the Stargate universe that is bent on self-replication by consuming all available resources.

  • 8:14 - 8:57 well only if the government decides to make it that way.. honestly the government is not as smart as you scientists, they would still fuck up people's living when clearly there are better, more equal, standards of living

  • Thumbs up if all of this makes you wish you were born 100 years later.

  • I really hate to say this but if we do this then are we taking control of our evolution?

  • @UberMonsterDude Or perhaps it is the natural continual of evolution? We only study spieces here on earth and given the vastness of the universe, it is not unlikely that spieces, perhaps civilizations much more advanced and civilized as ours exist. Maybe the reason as to why they evolved further is that they take control of their own evolution. Who knows?

  • @Orbitusx if we change ourselves because we have to in order to survive then its ok in my book but if we choose to become something that doesn't characterize our species as human then that's an ethical issue that may come to pass in the future according to this guy. the idea of altering yourself to something else and the destruction of a part of yourself is something that I think is wrong, self-conservation should be the only right reason to force your body to change into what you want it to be.

  • @UberMonsterDude I see your point. But don't you agree that evolution is the very act of not conserving the original copy, and evolution alone is the reason as to why we in our current state are here?

  • Oh no I programmed our self-assembler to build a house and forgot to set it outside first.

  • Makes nuclear bomb seem safe.

  • 1:35 why do you need to make weapons for everything. i hope you fking die horribly

  • @nightreaper999 because politicians are stupid saps

  • 4:50 There is a Twilight Zone episode where a small town had that machine in every home. I believe the name of the episode is Valley of the Shadow.

  • :) i love to design my own stuff

  • If we were to create gold with nano technology wouldn't that lower its value substantiually? And wouldn't that in turn severely damage the global economy?

  • Holy shit!

  • Yeah right, then Monsanto gets their hands on it and will keep you paying for the simplest things, like your cells replicating itself...

    Honestly, we're ready from a technical standpoint, but not from a spiritual one. Let's work on that as well, people !!!

  • Scientists! plz... before inventing any of these machines, plz invent a machine which would make world peaceful.. cuz this fact every time make me sad that every machine goes into the wrong hand and starts crap :'(

  • Metal gearrrrrrrr

  • Better than God?

  • @brightingsky2009 I don't want to start a fight but, no.

    God is the reason we have all of this...

  • Hear that, OWS? Invest your efforts into this.

  • How about rather than creating endless enemies through a worldview of escalating armaments for control we start to imagine that we can more enjoyably and profitably cooperate? Wow there's a revolution! Without Ethical Evolution our World is Toast.

  • @summondadrummin here i'll give the reason why we can't just do away all our weapons in a single line quote:

    "i'm down to disband our army and trow away our weapons, after the others do so.

  • @Trisscarro I'd call that perception a vicious cycle which leads to systemic runaway perhaps the outcome of a worldview founded on opposition and fear? Beliefs are self fulfilling if we believe people are out to get us we'll build a world which reinforces that belief. We can play the blame game for ever, though we ask our children to be responsible for their behaviors.We can also violently engage with our fellow humans even though we ask our children to use their words to solve their conflicts.

  • @summondadrummin that goes a little far but it's basically right, when a country trows down all arms invading it is free of loss meaning simple disagreements can lead to invasions.

    it's also a long stretch to compare raising children to global politics, when our children misbehave we punish them. but when a country misbehaves you can't send it to i'ts room or take away their games. so we need to use violence, and public interference causes a drag on it leading to more loss than needed.

  • @Trisscarro Protective use of force or defensive force is probably essential and useful at this stage of human development. Offensive force is another game altogether. It was General Smedley Butlers opinion that "War is a Racket" and a racket is a covert game played on whole populations in the interest of a few big business insiders who know what the game is really about. Squares with the facts.Our current dominant worldview needs enemies to sustains its budgets and rationalizations.

  • @summondadrummin offensive attacks can be good; the Gulf coalition and the Libyan coalition have both been very successful. mainly because of the high-intensity short-duration type conflict they fought in and the relative low political interferrence.

    but also long term conflicts can turn out good like the NATO led IFOR in Bosnia, where the decisions where mainly formed on the opinions of the civilians and soldiers in the region rather than politicians and the foreign public(us).

  • @Trisscarro It all comes back to beliefs and worldview. If people disagree on fundamental premises it seems to be difficult to get them to see eye to eye on issues further downstream.One of my basic notions is spending more time being happy seems more enjoyable than time spent being afraid? War appears predicated on fear of scarcity sustained by fear and promoted through fear.So what is there to fear? Just about whatever our minds convince us of can be a cause to be afraid.

  • @Trisscarro For example~some people are afraid of snakes, some people have snakes as pets, some people are afraid to go outside some people live outside, some are afraid of heights some jump off cliffs for fun, some people are afraid of other religions some people like the variety,some people think that you have to threaten people to be safe some think its better to make friends.So whats there to afraid of? You decide.

  • @summondadrummin fear, or concern to word it better, that to many decisive power and influence falls in the wrong hands. that an entire nation pivots on the goodwill of a single person.

    i'd think its indeed better to have a friend than an enemy, but sometimes you have to do something bad to solve something even worse.

    i'll be your friend if you like to jump of cliffs nothing wrong with that. but it's a entirely different story when you want to pull others down with you.

  • 5:09 I would create paper with pictures on them..the paper would consist of 75% Linen, and 25% Cotton, and it would NEVER have a picture of George Bush on it.

  • auhhhhhhh auh so its a paracite the makes me god like cool

  • nano technology should not be used for WAR!! WTF MAN damn cowboys.....

  • finally i can produce myself a girlfriend 

  • @SiliconHearts forever alone

  • @SiliconHearts we can all have our very own lucy liu

  • i wonder and hope that i will be able to extend my life in soon future so i can see all this amazing technologies take form.... i'lll get pissed of if i dont live long enough....

  • ThE Replicator .. lol .Yes to understand the atom is to understand the universe

  • well... the create-everything machine will be a heaven-machine for terrorists a mean, just push a button and get a nuke :(

  • why do every creation has to become a weapon?

    i think I'm starting to hate humans :(

  • Our next "nuke" will be a weapon that spreads nanobots throughout a population and turn us all into zombies. Then it will be an arms race, not on who can build more of these bombs, but who can build the non-bot to defeat the other nano-bot. One to destroy, and one to protect us.

    Sadly, for every great technology we create, there is a use for it to destroy us.

  • so where do they propose to get the atoms used in this replicator.

    can't just magically produce them

  • @toromusic there are plenty of them around. You can split any molecule by using energy. Therefore you can use anything to get the needed atoms - from waste and garbage to your house cat.

  • build personal fabricator

    ???

    Profit.

  • Too bad they want that technology for warfare. Fuck war, fucking primitive shitheads.

  • @crysisnov I agree. Too bad US military has the money to fund science. Internett was intended for warfare. Luckily it now belongs to the public and has now given us the power to knowledge and communication. Finally normal civillians can start to control the world. We just need a few men off action and millions more to support them and the corrupt leaders of the world will finally see their end.

  • @matsrudi Indeed. And hopefully civilians can express that authority as a start by standing together, and refusing extradition because of ACTA etc. for instance.

  • @crysisnov Sadly many advances in peaceful technology arose from offshoots of military research. During the cold war roughly half the worlds scientists were in military research. This is what makes me think that us humans are, in MANY fundamental ways, still barely out of the cave. Guaranteed anything new will be sought after as a weapon system. Our neanderthal urge to search for the next bigger club to hit our opponents over the head with :(

  • @crysisnov

    Yet it is the most motivating factor of developing our technology. 

  • Comment removed

  • @crysisnov we need a common enemy to unite us =]

  • @Dexyu Yey, let's fight together, brotha! ^^

  • So, Frankestein's monster could be microscopic!

  • What we need to do against the molecular nanotechnology is simulate real world problems that would arise, if if would get in the wrong hands.That should be prioritized as much as the advancements of the technology itself.It would not be suprising if we dont even get there because people are quiet self destructive. Since the first time that the whole world has been connected, until now there have been countless wars.A biggerproblem would be another world war,which I believe can't be too far away.

  • Cornucopia Machines, fellow EP gamers! exciting to hear about those nanofabricators in real life documentary is really exciting!

  • I would love to work in that field.

  • I actually dont want to live to see this it will more than be horrible

  • horrific. when will humanity ever learn?

  • Imagine replicators in the home of hoarders. ughh

  • I'm scared of this technology with the sickos we have ruling the world. One button and these "surgeons" can punch holes in our blood vessels. They convince us it's for our health then when we step out of line...

  • @Sailor231

    to be honest I would rather have a automated surgeon...

  • @RebelManCam Get chipped. =)

  • What heppend to the love of just learning, to better our understanding. For the good of man kind, not to become rich.

    Then you got the one douche ready to kill people with the nano bots, that are not even ready yet. LOL I have to laugh, because we are fucked if fucktards are going to have this power..

  • @krapptacular I REALLY wouldnt worry, all these machines will be electricly powered, just like everything else, they will be at the mercy of strong magnetic fields, simply flick the switch on a pinch, creat a massive magnetic blast and they will all die. So as a weapon, they will be pretty useless.

  • @666DRaZZ666 EMP would indeed fry them up. I just find it messed up we are so good at killing each other.

    We should be over all this crap by now. Imagine what could be done with all the money we waste on wars.

    Look I'm smilling see : D the future is bright. LOL

  • Comment removed

  • Personal fabricator... universal constructor in Deus Ex. OH GOD

  • of course, we have to take a technology that has potential cure for cancer, and then try to kill each other with them... aren't we a great species?

  • Programming reality? I think it's already being done.

  • now is the time we should be pouring every possible cent into science - replicators ftw

  • wow extremely deadly tech made for war Hmmm sounds like in the future man will still have wars :l

  • @SpicyTaco362 man will never stop warring. It's part of who we are. People are unable to accept some things, or some things drive them too much.

  • nice not seing fat ppl no offence

  • There is a lot of believing going on for a science show

  • Beware the nano bots

  • I'm confused... how are these 'personal fabricators' better than today's 3-D printers (other than the fact that 3-D printers only work with certain materials)?

  • @cxaxnxexs the fact that it can make anything......

  • @munky40903805 Can you elaborate on that?

  • Get rid of cancer? Great... eat as much cheesecake and ice cream that I want without getting fat? AWESOME!

  • @iz2sicc and you can produce all the food you want at home

  • I don't think people will be dumb enough not to infuse future nanobots with something like Asimov's Three Laws.

    nanotechnology will ultimately make our civilization god-like. We will be ageless, vastly more intuitive and powerful than we are now.

    Although I sincerely hope humanity grows in wisdom with its technology

  • What I miss most out of this science programs is Scientific Skeptisism that was present in the works of Carls Sagan. Yes, this ideas and projects have a lot of potential, but they also have a lot of dire consequenses. I'm glad they talked about the dangers of NanoTechnology. I wish they would've talked about the fact that Fusion Energy still produces nuclear waste. Sure, it most waste would remain radioactive for about 50 to 100 years, but we're still playing around with radioactive stuff.

  • @solinvictus01 Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly Nuclear Fusion produces absolutely zero waste. Nuclear fission is different from fusion because it's much dirtier. Nuclear fusion produces only smoke and no radioactive waste.

  • @uwaga1717 According to ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) Nuclear Fusion still produces nuclear waste. It's a lot less than Nuclear Fission but waste is still there.

  • @solinvictus01 I just researched a little and found that you were right. Thank you.

  • destroy... Destroy.... DESTROY ! ! ! Woo hahahahahahah

  • "the holly shit moment" 

  • its kinda offensive to me, some people enjoy being big people... never see an obese human being again?? i would hope the nano-bots would help me stay healthy, but not everyone wants to conform to one side of what is attractive... just look up the word "rubenesque" and one will see that the more corpulent figure was most popular at the time!

  • @BedfordBears If you find it offensive you don't know what obesity is. Obesity is a medical condition whereby fat accumulates to the extent that it causes health problems and reduced life expectancy. They are not talking about making everyone skinny, just healthy. Do your research first please.

  • @BedfordBears Being fat isn't healthy. Human beings aren't supposed to be fat. You might prefer how it looks, but it's more than just an idea of what is attractive.

  • @BedfordBears Mammals physiologically store fat like they do because they did not know with certainty when their next meal would be, so fat stores are meant to provide energy in these down times of scavenging/hunting. Humans are a mammal who have recently outgrown this danger, and fat stores are no longer physiologically required of our bodies. Unfortunately nature goes much slower than sentience would like.

  • fuck i was thinking about the machine that makes anything last week :P

  • I'm hoping for hybrotic nanomachines that can give me the ability to heal myself ^_^ little bioreactors building nanomachines that can build polymers out of organic material and weave it into existing systems :D otherwise it will be expensive to repair my skin if something manages to damage it.

  • @PinkProgram LIKE WOLVERINE

    

  • @numso more like casshern ^_^
