...and by this I am referring to technological advancement. In another way, it might be very frightening and dangerous. How? Why? Read on.
3D printing
The term 3D printing covers a variety of processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object,[1] with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together), typically layer by layer. In the 1990s, 3D printing techniques were considered suitable only for the production of functional or aesthetical prototypes and a more appropriate term was rapid prototyping. Today, the precision, repeatability and material range have increased to the point that some 3D printing processes are considered viable as an industrial production technology, whereby the term additive manufacturing can be used synonymously with 3D printing. One of the key advantages of 3D printing is the ability to produce very complex shapes or geometries, and a prerequisite for producing any 3D printed part is a digital 3D model or a CAD file.
The most commonly used 3D Printing process is a material extrusion technique called fused deposition modeling (FDM).[2] Metal Powder bed fusion has been gaining prominence lately during the immense applications of metal parts in the 3D printing industry. In 3D Printing, a three-dimensional object is built from a computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer, unlike the conventional machining process, where material is removed from a stock item, or the casting and forging processes which date to antiquity.[3][4]
The term "3D printing" originally referred to a process that deposits a binder material onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads layer by layer. More recently, the term is being used in popular vernacular to encompass a wider variety of additive manufacturing techniques. United States and global technical standards use the official term additive manufacturing for this broader sense.

A startup with alumni from MIT and Yale says it's made a breakthrough in creating a next-generation material that should make it possible to 3-d print literally anything out of thin air.
New York-based Mattershift has managed to create large-scale carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes that are able to combine and separate individual molecules.
"This technology gives us a level of control over the material world that we've never had before," said Mattershift Founder and CEO Dr. Rob McGinnis in a release. "For example, right now we're working to remove CO2 from the air and turn it into fuels. This has already been done using conventional technology, but it's been too expensive to be practical. Using our tech, I think we'll be able to produce carbon-zero gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels that are cheaper than fossil fuels."
CNTs have been identified as holding promise for a number of potential applications, from better golf clubs, fuels and medicines to far-out concepts like space elevators. A study published this week in the journal Science Advances confirms that Mattershift's large CNT membranes perform as well as the small prototypes we've seen so far.
The company says their breakthrough brings down the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the material, which should allow the technology to burst out of the confines of university labs.
"It should be possible to combine different types of our CNT membranes in a machine that does what molecular factories have long been predicted to do: to make anything we need from basic molecular building blocks," said McGinnis. "We're talking about printing matter from the air. Imagine having one of these devices with you on Mars. You could print food, fuels, building materials, and medicines from the atmosphere and soil or recycled parts without having to transport them from Earth."
A molecular factory is a long-predicted technology that, in theory, should be able to accomplish some of what the Replicator from "Star Trek" does, although not nearly as cleanly as on the show. Mattershift's approach is more about separating and combining molecules to form new raw materials, which is why working on creating fuels is a logical place to start.
But as McGinnis points out, if it works well there's no reason that more complex molecular factories can't be combined to become the future of manufacturing, and yes, maybe eventually serve up a drink out of thin air at some point by simply asking a future version of Alexa for "tea, earl grey, hot."

Nicola Tesla and the Nazis created free energy sources/generators; we can either get to this ability sooner or later, or we can use solar panels and our own personal wind turbine, for example, connected to our 3-D printer/replicator, and print out absolutely anything - food and drink, a heater, clothing... No more need for struggle and strife - but as it said, "This technology gives us a level of control over the material world that we've never had before". Imagine what that could possibly mean. Your neighbour would build a silenced handgun and shoot you dead; your enemy will build a microchip which can be shot through a straw, like a pea shooter, into your drink...
Seeing as we can create "literally anything", we could also produce more material than exists, Physically, in our Solar System. Take Dyson spheres, for example - there is not enough matter in our Solar System to build such a thing (nevermind the construction capabilities). I had an idea of how to be able to build something or some things, which would be greater than the amount of matter we have, be it a Dyson sphere or whatever, but that would take quite a long time to do - but it is Natural. Of course, Scientific advancement is Natural, but I meant my idea is Natural in the sense of using Nature and Environment to do it.
Of course, creating "literally anything" out of thin air, so to speak, would (that is - could and should) cause things to be much cheaper - however, it still won't, though, because these devices will not be available for home-use, and they would be regulated and controlled very much so, don't you think? Only a select few would be able and "allowed" to use them. With printing "literally anything", the jew would lose money, power and control. Not to mention that dirty industry would be clean - and the jew can't have that, helping recover the environment - and just like in Star Trek, you can recycle anything by putting it into a replicator, so collecting all of the plastic in the oceans and recycling them back into 'air' would be too nice for and beneficial to this Planet. The jew would cry about that.
Am I merely jumping to conclusions here, or is my title and what I am saying correct?
