We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost. – Ralph Merkle
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this. – Ralph Merkle
If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering. – Ralph Merkle
Today we see a human population of over 6 billion people, many of whom have serious medical conditions, which either cant be treated or cannot be treated economically. – Ralph Merkle
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I dont embrace trouble; thats as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say: meet it as a friend, for youll see a lot of it, and had better be on speaking terms with it. – Oliver Wendell Holmes
