So, just as a shadow is the two dimensional facsimile of a three dimensional object, it is not beyond reason, if it is at the moment, beyond technological capability, of the creation of a perfect copy of a three dimensional object. We already have seen lasers which create three dimensional templates by a form of three dimensional photocopying "sculptures" out of wax or plastic. These are the stone axes in comparison to electron microscopes, however. Imagine the possibilities if, one day, there is a machine on the market, which when you put an object inside it, it will scan it, analyse it for size, composition, judge the weight and dimensions and after, say, ten seconds a light flashes. You expectantly open the door on the other side of the machine and you find a perfect copy of the original inside. What that perfect copy would be would be up to you, it could be a £50 note, you could then copy two, four, eight, sixteen until you were a multi millionaire, or a diamond, your dog, and old master, or your wife... Or you. Maybe there is such a machine, maybe for those very reasons we will never see it, maybe it is already in use.

the first step is molecular manufacturing
then smaller magnitudes atomic, subatomic updated industrial revolution google personal nanofactories email someone a shirt or laptop or cellphone

Its funny how people think this stuff is new, they have been experimenting with nanotechnology for decades now.

Here is an intresting fact. 1 cell in your body has 100 times the Atoms that the Milky Way has stars.

You can build with atoms and melocules, been doing it for centuries, it called chemistry.
We can also write with atoms, which is a step closer. In 1981, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer of the IBM ![]()
