So you are thinking on lines that this machine would not require any resource? and would create things out of thin air, like a magic?
salwa · F
@ABCDEF7 i said from cheaper material, like sand, dust, wood even rubbish for example just by converting their atomic fingerprint to the desired atomic fingerprint
ABCDEF7 · M
@salwa If the device could work at atomic level, it would be able to convert the atoms of air too.

A number of machines and sciences we take for granted was engineered off of Star Trek gadgets.

A 'Replicator' could do what you suggest in theory. Although they weren't specific on whose doing the test. Scientists have created one. They managed to make a cup of water out of thin air. The water not a cup. The rub is the energy needed to create just that was too much to make it practical for every day use. One day maybe.

You have to have a device that would have access to all the needed materials in atomic form and somehow assemble them into the form that would make the things you wanted - lots of technologies that don't exist....
salwa · F
@fun4us2b excatly, just use the atomic fingerprint of something to create it by manipulating the atomic structure of the cheaper material, i know it is complex but i think it would exist in the future

@salwa Maybe, if we manage not to destroy ourselves before we get there....

3D printers are arguably a step in that direction. So keep the faith we could get there. But considering how terrible some people are out there it may be a case of be careful what you wish for.
3D printers are somewhere there I think

Sounds like the matrix

A machine that could make sandwiches cars and houses effortlessly couldn't create meaning, purpose and fulfillment.

It would probably destroy those things.

That idea would make for a good book and would show how things would go wrong as human nature gets involved. Like all positive ideas there will be a dark side.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
That would be way to dangerous, some would create evil things.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@Subsumedpat Someone will try to use it to bring back Elvis
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Thevy29 That would be ok, I will watch.
salwa · F
@Subsumedpat in the same principle we shouldn't have invented knife cause many people were killed by knives
Ontheroad · M
It isn't I think, possible and I don't think, by in large, it would be good for humanity.
salwa · F
@Ontheroad why will not be good for humanity?..why people oppose anything useful for them without even trying it
Richard65 · M
You'd only need one, then it could manufacture endless copies of itself.
Then what is the purpose of your existence?
salwa · F
@Royricky09 is the purpose of our existence is to work to get money to buy food and machines?
@salwa good question but wrong way of looking at life.
Try listening to 'sadhguru' once.... It'll help
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
Even if we could, is it really a good idea?
salwa · F
@WintaTheAngle yes it would make earth like a heaven, imagine world without hunger, without needing to work to get what you look for, so far less crimes, this would end more than 90% of suffer happens on earth every second

Because people are thinking with their pocketbooks instead of their brains. If humans stop creating then our sole unique trait will be lost and we will die.
salwa · F
@SW-User do you think this is possible ??
SW-User
@salwa Probably someday
Renaci · 36-40
You are thinking of a star trek replicator.
