You did a very good job interviewing James Burke with your question! It's great to see this transfer of knowledge and interest between generations. Good luck with your school project and best of luck with everything you undertake in your life!
good work arlo, with these great interviews with James Burke. When i was your age, many years ago, i was fascinated by what he had to say. I'm glad you are too.
Great interview! I watched James Burke when I was growing up, and he changed the way I looked at the relationship between history and technology, and shaped my life. Great to see he is still doing it.
All right. Lets take this seriously and take sci fi seriously. So basically Iron Man Mark 50 and Mark 85 is suit made by nanofabricator. The arc reactor that power that suit also nanofabricator. But when the metal alloy depletes it cannot create more suit parts.
Self replicating machines which potentially could make anything would have a significant effect on capitalism, tax generation, all sorts of aspects which imperfectly glue our current society together. There will be a lot of vested interests in the staus quo who really don't want this technology.
Agreed, furthermore what would such technology do to humanity’s soul? Striving, accomplishing great feats, humans need a goal and each other. Having machines that eliminate any and all needs will destroy what it is to be human.

God i really wanna know more about his predictions. I wish he could make new series about modern Connections and predict future. Maybe younger generation make connections too
How would it make nuclear materials without them as inputs? The soil may have them but in very low quantities. So I don't think that would be a problem.
Hate to disagree with my hero, James Burke, but I think nano factory is, as described here, is more or less impossible. I know, I know, if anyone says something is NOT going to happen, they are probably wrong. But still I think this one is, or will be very different. Think about the number of atoms or molecules in something as small and mundane as a thimble full of orange juice. The amount of information to precisely guide each atom into their own place to construct that is truly astronomic. Or take something simpler, say water! The most economical way to produce water is via chemical or physical processes, like burning hydrogen and oxygen, not by having some 'factory machine' to produce that. Chemical reactions are based on conditions in which the desired outcomes happen all by themselves without any detailed micromanagement, which I think the nano factory implies. Complex molecules are produced by living organisms through DNA and cellular replication. If this is what the nano factory entails or implies, yes, then perhaps, but it has taken billions of years for live to develop that kind of machines. Again the information and knowledge required seems to be overwhelming. And I conjecture that the way nature does it, is one of the most economic and energy efficient ways to produce what ever it is you want to produce.
As far as inorganic chemistry is concerned, theoretically, a machine can reorganize the atoms in such a way to create anything. We're just not there yet. But why can't conceivably such machine work? We're not talking a traditional factory that uses the chemical process like you mentioned. Tiny nano robots that manipulate atoms.
With a nanofabricator, our relationship with stuff will be totally different. The consumer society will be over. No more keeping up with the Joneses. Luxury will have no real status. We will live in electronic cottages like a postmodern William Morris. Hence, we will put more emphasis on the arts, and possibly a new spirituality.
People have endless desires and needs, a lot of which involve other people fulfilling them. We are social, so we can't just go each live in isolation and be happy.
Keep asking questions Arlo. It is sad to see how little feedback you are getting. Learn the standard international units and then how they are related to each other. Never use the words "miles", inches, feet, horse power, Fahrenheit or awesome when talking about science, since no one on earth uses these expressions unless they are joking, or are Americans living in the past. Science knows no boundaries and you have already seen how easy it is to make progress. Don't stop.
That's a limited view of imperial units. They came about because they were directly related to the things people used them for. And it's not hard to learn them and their conversions to SI.
I love James Burke, and you have interviewed him. Good for, young man. Cheers.
Great interview with James Burke, young man. Wonderful to see the generations interacting.
James Burke is a legend. Love his way of putting things.

Seconded. I'll take this over some over-produced fluff interviewer.
Amazing!!!
James burke is amazing
I am so impressed on many levels by this wonderful discussion. I'll let you guess what those "levels" are.
good work arlo, with these great interviews with James Burke. When i was your age, many years ago, i was fascinated by what he had to say. I'm glad you are too.
Well done. Keep striving. You are an impressive young person.

NEVER FORGET PLUTO
Also there is episode literally shows this in Futurama Benderama

Why cut him off?

Society doesn't really tell tech where the boundaries should be.Tech provides the possibilities and stands back, then manipulates their market.
Yes, these things require serious consideration.

@@YG-kk4ey The number of atoms you need to manipulate and the energy needed to manipulate the atoms are astronomical.
Come on, Kirk had replicators in 1966!

yeah, hardware breaks and software comes broken right out of the box....
If every one can create every thing they need ,will businesses shops, services collapse?
@@jmack8767 Who does say Heart operation .I expect great idea hope it becomes reality

Without DIVINE guidance things can get out of control. I hope by then whatever it is that separates us from God will be resolved.
As we say in James Burks hometown, pile a shite.
As if our controlers are going to give away their power, Wise up, that's another local saying.
