 Hi all, this is my first set of questions to all of the seriously clever people out there; Could Nano-Technology replace virtually everything as we see it today, could it replace electric as our main source of energy, as a theoretically poor electrician, have pondered on this subject? If this is possible why aren't people as clever as the people on this site combatting the government about the possibilities of this technology for use of saving the planet, if it really is on its way to taking out the human species for sucking it dry and polluting it to such a degree, which I know is touching the renowned mysteries of the universe? Will it change what is black and what is white as so to speak, and could in turn improve the extremely poor state of our over populated, over polluted planet that is mother nature, which will win the relativety battle as she is top of the food chain, which does seem to be getting harder on the evil people that probably are the only people who have the money to research this tech. which brings me to the conclusion, 4) Is it these governments, which are researching nano-tech, the governments/companies which own the fossil fuel companies, not to mention any names ****** **** an the rest of our leaders? If someone could explain my vast issues, from the tech side of things to the weird appocylyptic connection these sought of subjects have and not to mention CERT and let me know if i'm talking babble. Possibly a reply from a philosophical scientist would be much appreciated thankyou!  |

Welcome and enjoy your stay. 
Just a few things though. No double posting please. You can simply delete your original post if you decide that another section might be more appropriate. It might also help if you spell check before posting and if you threw in a paragraph break once in a while, since I find your post mostly incomprehensible.

Nanotechnology I think mostly has to do with what occurs inside the human body. At least that's where I see it heading. People are under the assumption that little robots in place of white blood cells will allow us to live longer, perhaps indefinately, and stay young.

quantum; Yes, welcome to the forum...I am coming at you as a non scientist, but somewhat familiar with nanotech...
Basically, taking atoms from several pieces of matter and producing a completely different piece of matter, is the ultimate goal of nanotech, but to date practical application is in miniaturizing, what is known. Medical application the most often mentioned, adding efficiency to products, as paint and some progress has been made in Nuclear Energy fireing chamber coatings.
Yes, if the dreams of the original alchemist or the new version in nanotech, achieves only part of their hopes, mankind's economical and future will change. Self replicating of a product (fabric/FUELS) could be common place and miniature space craft, with all the abilities of todays probes could travel for indefinite periods, producing from any matter in space all there needs.
I could go on, but think you get my point....Oh, don't be discouraged, with Kalsters scolding. Many new folks make double postings on slow days and comprehension takes some understanding of the subject. He is a good guy... |

Yeah, I am a good guy
I think one of the ultimate goals of nanotech would be home nanotech factories. All you do is buy some raw materials, download the blueprint and set your factory to work on your new Surround System, TV or Playstation 5

Wow!! Soz for the multi message thing and poor grammar I'm a bit of a failure. I was typing on a work night really late, and it didn't help being a complete nervous DUMMY  but glad you understood my foul language kalster!  LOL! Thanks for the cool info all.
NEW Q, If your not bored, would love to hear from you all again;
1)Do you think that world governments would be able to afford to create/use this sort of tech at present to create an energy source at a cost/CO2 emmision effective price?
2)Do you think that an energy of this sort maybe the way to go forward for the future well being of the planet?
Hopefully spk soon thanks again, QuantumDummy |

Basically Nanotech is heavily subsidized by many governments. Although usually for military of defensive reasoning. Then investors have interest and many very large companies, Motorola/Intel/Microsoft and others, have departments set up to miniaturize their products and Universities around the world have set up labs, bought equipment, even separate building, to pursue the study.
A Tuscon Arizona, technology company has developed a CO2 extraction machine, which they feel will remove the compound from the atmosphere, but not nanotechnology. Nanotech is involved in micro management of nuclear power plant control of radio active materials. Both in the efficiency in the burning (unburned matter the problem) and the possible destruction or reuse of the by products for constructive purposes. |

" Originally posted July 3, on the double-post"
Nano-Technology will not replace electricity.
NanoTech also has not been fully developed. It is a very, very exciting field to keep an eye on, but most of it's researchers are still trying to stop the tiny fella's from randomly sticking together.
If the concepts developed so far come to realization, it is possible it will replace a lot of our medical and manufacturing techniques, not to mention help people continue research in other areas. It will help the space industry, and the weapons sector. It could also help in food production in Third World areas, or even for purifying water. It could help to fight untold diseases and ailments
It could even, dare I say, allow us immortality.
But not for awhile. Unless you believe Ray Kurzweil. Then we'll all be immortal in about 50 years, and you'll be able to witness all of this for yourself. But for the present day, we already have technologies to allow us to get past the oil crisis.
Swift Fuel
http://www.swiftenterprises.com/
A Drop-In replacement for gasoline and aviation fuels. Replaceable Fuel. It focuses on the aviation fuel throughout the website, but it has been verified to work in any gasoline car. Emissions are ridiculously lower than gasoline, at half the current price (still high, but whatever)
Not to mention an electrolyzer hooked into the intake valve of most cars will allow a %20 - %150 increase in fuel efficiency.
However for the true life changing technologies, look to Femto-machinery
Now there is something with an insane potential. But also way, way out of our current reach.
Also, the true life changing device I'd recommend to you.
