Hell, if you follow Kurzweil, it’s more like 30 years ( tops). 100 years from now, this could very well be just ‘fiction’. The biggest hold this series has on me is that its premises are strongly founded in our current reality and uses highly likely if not inevitable extrapolations of current, real technologies, the ‘subspace’ based techs notwithstanding. ![]() You weren’t incorrect in any general sense with your statement. ![]() On the same vein, although it was implied, given that OP seems a bit new to the Von Neumann probe and 3D printing concepts, I feel it’s important to point out that the books printers ‘print’ any element at the atomic level- not just plastic and polymers. ![]() Von Neumann died in 1957- I cant remember who the speaker in Vegas was, but I believe it was just a minutely described con-presenter stereotype.Īlso, we DO have printers today that print metal/concrete/and other non-plastic materials, but in the same low resolution globules as the plastic, ‘consumer-grade’ versions. I hate to be pedantic, but will be anyway. ![]()
