Scientists study physical things, then describe them; engineers describe physical things, then build them.
On the molecular scale, you find it's reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer s… - K. Eric Drexler

It's a lot easier to see, at least in some cases, what the long-term limits of the possible will be, because they depend on natural law. But it's muc… - K. Eric Drexler
