Wow , Nanotechnology

I joined a competition named First Lego League ( FLL ) recently . The research topic we are given is ' Nanotechnology ' . Let me explain what nanotechnology is , it is a kind of technology which allows us to create thing at a super small scale . ' Nano manufacturing ' is often call ' molecular manufacturing ' , you can imagine that . I myself like to compare nanotechnology with alchemy . Scientist have succeeded in rearranging the position of particles using nanotechnology ( created something else ) , what is the difference with alchemy which (tries to) creates other thing out of something ? Coal can be change to gold . Dirt , water and air can be change to potatoes ( not cooked ) . Sand into computer chip !!!

Something more , I have said that nanotechnology can create thing in a smaller scale and so , 100 million of near perfect efficiency ( very little by products will be produced ) motors can be fitted into a full-stop which is already millions times faster than a rocket . Millions or maybe billions of processors in a computer which means no lag no matter how many things you put in your computer . Cars can fly into space and maybe even faster than light , which means that we may be able to do time travel . According to Albert Einstein's theory , time slows down when we are going nearer to the speed of light and hence I infer that time will reverse when we go faster than the speed to light .

Even more astonishing , we may be able to build things that self replicate by themselves which means we will have maybe endless plates of chicken rice to eat , no need to spend 2 dollars cause they just create themself by , themself !!! We have no exact idea what our future have installed for us but one thing we can be sure , we are going into a world that no one can imagine .
