Fascinating concept.

It did beg one wry thought however. It's two bad young couples are three dimensional otherwise they wouldn't need to buy power until mid-life.

I saw an interview not long ago about why some ground breaking inventions never see the light of day. The reason given was that most people thinking out of the box are loners with little or no backing. An entity who may be harmed by new technology sends a mole in to offer financial backing. This mole then sets the inventor up with some one or government that could be illegal. Then the mole goes to the authorities with the story the inventor is conspiring to break federal law and ask for immunity to help investigators convict the inventor.

Sounds kind of familiar to what went on politically with Trump, doesn’t it....

yessir.....IMO, nanotech and bio-engineering will become the next version of the industrial revolution.....how the cause/effect in growth relative to actual numbers of the bipedal wanderers is what I question.....

to say the least, we're currently only beginning to witness the impact today.......imagine what she'll be like a century from now.....

Medical research has often been said to be governed in application by the life cycle of current profitable systems. I would like to think that wasn't true, but then I've lived awhile.

As for your assertion about the random factor of mortality I give you the illustration of Tesla. Ambient natural energy may have been tapped decades ago otherwise.

Read up on Preston Tucker. He was decades ahead in innovation for automobiles and the Big 3 and the government essentially shut him down.
