The funniest part about all of that crap I'm not actually going to read is that I expected the "Solid Light" stuff to be the silliest thing in this thread.

Solid light is produced by the moving field through the anchor. The HIggs Boson is said to be still,while the dimensions below move in quantum current flow. Quantum Current Flow and Volution.
E in Latin is to emerge from. Volution is revolving around a fixed center. Evolution is rising to new life from baptism. Involution is the Spirit entering the whirlwind.
The science we already understand is consistent with the Bible's allegory of it. As Genesis states, we are here in a garden to toil toward the goal that has already been reached. When we finally realize this, we can then enter into that kingdom. That kingdom has a master. We are not the masters.

Just imagine when it becomes a food ingredient! I'm all for practical applications with this tech. Why is there no harvested-photon light bulb array yet? If you had light particles that were tuned to be the brightest they could be you might be able to do some interesting things.
I don't think that means what you think it means. For one thing, you forgot to put "solid" in quotes like your sources did, which by the way means it's not really solid, which means you can't do all that stuff you suggested.

Ok heres the idea which I had and thought it deserved its own thread just for discussion sake. How about we begin to brainstorm on how to replace all technology and goods with solid light
Cherry2000 seemed to have more of a basis in real physics, even the part where she shorted out in the bathtub, so I'm not sure why she needs to be made of light, just improve the waterproofing.

It doesn't make "solid light" or "liquid light" in some form that falls out the bottom and you can put in a light saber. Or make a sammitch out of. Or a sex doll on a holodeck. It's an elegant demonstration of QED in the real world, though.
You make an awesome point and I welcome your imput. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion and what your saying makes sense to me, may not to all, but oh well its different strokes for different folks. Some seek through meditation, others through study and communication through the internet. The idea that any tool could essentially be used for a variety of purposes is basically what I am getting to with some of this information, and the creation of new tools as a society like our phones, fabrics, robots, and computers just sharing new and old ideas for the fun of it. Thanks again for your loving light you are most welcome here.

Just an idea, think of light printed food at the atomic level a virtual 3D printer that can end world hunger...

I can't believe it...there's an old TV skit that's NOT on youtube or, as far as I can tell, google.
There was at one time an SNL or Second City skit that started off just like a "feed the children" ad. Only when it got to the pitch, the guy said something like "There are so many children. We can't feed them all. And if we do, then we'll have even more children to feed. It's an endless cycle. But there is a way out of this cycle of poverty and hunger. For only 30 cents a child, we can put a stop to it. A stop to the pain. The deprivation. The hunger. The illness. We can put these children to sleep, painlessly. Won't you help end the suffering? Send your donations to Kill the Children Foundation"
You see, there IS no ending world hunger. People, like any other animal, will breed up to the limit of their resources. If you feed everyone, then you get more people until you CAN'T feed everyone.
"The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man" - Malthus

We went from solid light to killing kids? Not ok to say the least.

Maybe your 3D printer can print up some nice semi-permanent birth control devices?
THAT would go a long way to ending hunger.

As to your preocupation with depopulating the world, its clearly not a progressive thought for those who wish to have children. All have a right to life for those who desire it, its simply the natural way of things.

The natural way of things, alas, is to breed past the ability of the environment to support you. Then you have an epidemic, or a mass starvation. So wanting the natural way AND feeding all the children doesn't go together. The natural way is for the extras to starve.
He said birth control, which is not the same thing as depopulation. It could be used to reduce population as only one possibility, but that's not the only one...it can also be used to limit population growth to zero, or even limit population growth to some smaller positive value. If we don't find a replacement for fossil fuels by the time they become scarce, we are going to have a hard time feeding everybody even if population remains constant, because farming equipment runs on fossil fuels. I don't think we'll get the same productivity using oxen to draw plows, or whatever we resort to when fossil fuels become scarce.

Not that you can print food with light. But if you had a magic way to make all the food you wanted, it might not be a GOOD thing. Probably something more like "Troubles with Tribbles", only on a world wide scale with people.
Oh, and if you can make food on a magic 3D light printer, you can make...other things. I could, for instance, churn out a wad of anthrax spores. Or ricin, or a nice bottle of nickel carbonyl (a personal favorite!), maybe a block of zirconium-halogen nano-explosive. Maybe 3D light printing would be better not implemented, even if it was possible.

This is becoming a thread drift...
We are discussing a future of progressive abundance, not death and self destruction of children.
To bring the thread back to the original topic think of how nanotechnology may change as light itself may create the next nanobots in a future age.
