Something Incredible this Way Comes

Hydrocarbon fuels are a mix of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
Diamonds are a mix of compressed carbon atoms.
Water is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Everything on earth,came from space.Usually the explosion of super nova stars,that creates carbon-nitrogen-oxygen.This is termed the CNO cycle.

The size of the star affects the resulting material produced.
In short,every atom of material larger than hydrogen comes from stars. Through compression,heat and neutron bombardment stars take hydrogen and slowly convert them to everything else we can imagine.

Graphene is a 1 atom thick lattice of carbon atoms.
Stronger than steel,a better conductor.But currently difficult to produce.

Imagine building bridges,houses,airplanes and cars that weigh 1/10th of what they weigh now,with these material.

Imagine making molecules as needed to create protein,fats,sugars from these raw materials found in the soil.

Imagine making computer chips smaller than viruses.Attached to everything from your car to your shirt to your contact lenses.

Imagine robotics made at a nano size that move thru your body,repair DNA,kill infectious cells like cancer and the cold,and remove plaque in your arteries.

A movie made with atoms.

We are reaching a technological breakthrough that will make the internal combustion engine look like the development of the wheel.
The future-economically at least-is not doom and gloom.It may carsh,but it will rebound.Of that have no doubt.And the world your children will see is going to be orders of magnitude more advanced than what we have now.

Technology is not good or evil-technology just is.
How its used determines its `karma `.
To make sure its used in as positive manner as possible,I feel you should know what can be done.
From health care-to food-to energy and fuel-to computers and
eventually AI.

Some cultures will be overwhelmed by these breakthroughs-imagine a culture that cuts off your head for adultery,only to find that the person on the receiving end of the ax has a nano-carbon shield that protects the entire body when a threat is detected. Or a war zone where this same nano shield creates bullet and bomb proof shields as it detects blasts,bullets,and shrapnel.

It may very well make war obsolete.As well as violence of any kind.

When this tech matures,and we can create material as needed,resource wars may become irrelevant.

I have stated before that we are going through a paradigm shift.The shift is immense. And I have only touched on a few areas. The economic windfall of these breakthroughs have not been looked at by any economist.They keep looking at the past to predict the future.

In the past,the whale oil industry was large,only to become extinct.The oil companies face the same fate.That has huge economic repercussions to the dollar and world trade. But the pains we are feeling now,will usher in a new period of global prosperity-if we have the sense to adapt with it and not try to hold on to the models of the past.

Something incredible this way comes.
