Matter Replicators & Recyclers

Since watching science fiction movies as a young boy, I always wondered when I'd finally hear a more scientific approach towards “Matter Replicators”.

After all, the concept as such sounds quite straight-forward:

Now I have no idea of this Creative Society, what they stand for and why, etc. - but the video does a good job in explaining most of the core components needed to eventually realize matter replication of at least “non living” things:

1. Energy

2. Particles

3. Information

An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the technology can already be found on the market today in the form of so-called “Beverage molecular printing” machines, where beverages are directly printed from particles.

But research into the elementary particles, their number and arrangements, proper combination of atoms and their (replicable) resulting molecular structure, properties and order will have to be ongoing. Perhaps one day we’ll find out that everything is made of the same substance — and just vibrates at different rates?

Whilst I can imagine that the magnetic power in the devices could have the capacity to rearrange the particles of the items you put in it the recycler or want to be manifested through the replicator, I cannot believe this works on “living” things, such as the example with the lobster. Perhaps a “dead” material could be “printed” which has a texture and taste similar to that of lobster meat, but experimentation with this type of technology could also prove to be dangerous as we simply don’t know enough about the subtle fields accompanying physical matter.

We could do much better in this subject though if science would make an effort to understand Rupert Sheldrake’s research into Morphogenetic Fields. Especially when it comes to biology (in my opinion) it’s the missing link between memory, substance and form – certainly in relation to the “creation”, development and re-inclusion of matter as we know it.
