2. Introduction

Latest update on the 3D printed human project.

Spectral 2016 1[web.archive.org]2[archive.ph] is a rare Sci-Fi movie depicting 3D printed human technology. But instead of using normal matter, humans soldiers are printed with Bose-Einstein condensate to give them even greater invincible properties, in war-torn Moldova....

How can a cell made of Bose-Einstein condensate matter even live?

3. Background

18 Apr, 2019

...a popular holiday destination off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula...

With a vertical drop of 23 metres and a width of less than 10 metres, Jeongbang isn’t particularly magnificent as waterfalls go. What I found interesting was the local legend associated with the falls, that a Chinese man named Seo Bok (or Seo Bul) landed here more than 2,000 years ago. Seo Bok was, of course, the legendary Xu Fu, who sailed east from China in search of the elixir of life for the first emperor of the Qin dynasty.

In 219BC, two years after he unified the Chinese nation, the 40-year-old emperor suddenly became acutely aware of his own mortality and wanted an elixir that would stop him from dying. The alchemist Xu Fu told the emperor that immortals living on three sacred mountains located somewhere in the seas to the east of China possessed a potion for eternal life, and requested permission to sail to find these mountains.

There are several versions of Xu Fu’s voyages to the east, but they all agree on certain details. Firstly, that the logistics were immense:the fleet carried several years’ worth of food supplies, clothing, medicine, agricultural implements and seeds, and a few thousand virgin boys and girls. No specific reasons were given for the inclusion of farming materials and young people, but both seem to suggest an intention to found settlements. Secondly, Xu Fu failed to locate the mountains or the elixir at the end of his first voyage and after setting sail for the second time, he never returned to China.

One version tells how Xu Fu reached a land of “flat plains and vast waters” on his second voyage, where the climate was hospitable and the natives affable. Xu Fu decided to stay and made himself king, and, with his sizeable retinue from China, he lived out his days educating the local people on agriculture, fishing, and other trappings of civilisation.

Where this land of “flat plains and vast waters” was remains a mystery. The most popular theory, one that has enjoyed currency since the late 10th century, was that Xu Fu’s fleet reached the Japanese islands. Both Chinese and Japanese sources gave specific details of the colonisation of parts of Japan by the Chinese, who founded states and prominent clans. Xu Fu and his fleet were also credited with bringing about a sudden technological leap in Japanese society, from a hunter-gatherer culture to an Iron Age of relative sophistication. It has even been suggested that Xu Fu (Jofuku in Japanese) was in fact Emperor Jimmu, the first Emperor of Japan. These legends are latter-day ascriptions that are as unreliable as the authenticity of the multiple Xu Fu tombs in Japan.

4. Carrier

According to some sources there are about 200 different types of cells in the human body.

To print with a palette of 200 'color inks' made of these 200 different types of cells would nonetheless not be possible because each cells differ in age and size, and worse, many are in the middle of dynamic process such as mitosis (division).

Things get worse as the human body is not limited to human cells but includes a virome, made of 380 trillion viruses, far exceeding the 70 trillion human cells, and also a microbiome containing 100 to 39 trillion microbes.

Therefore one should consider the use of a palette of molecules instead. Again many molecules are in the middle of assembly or disassembly process.

Using a palette of colors made partly at least with atoms is therefore necessary.

Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.

In total a palette of some 60 different atomic elements would be needed.

An average cell contains 100 trillion atoms.

And we need 7 x 10^27 atoms for an average human body.

How can we place these atoms, and maintain their positions?

The current state of declassified available technology is limited to optical molecular tweezers.

The caveat with the use of lasers is that one can not maintain several layers of depth required for 3D printing, as photons will be blocked by the line of sight.

Only 2D is possible. The human body contains molecules in all states, solid, liquid, gaseous and ions. How can one position a molecule of gas in a 3D body if the line of sight is blocked?

Moreover, lasers will dissipate tremendous energy, notably thermal, degrading the positioning of the molecules. And we are not even taking into account the quantum effects at this scale.

If the use of photons for the molecular tweezers can not be considered, then which particle could fit the bill?

Google search doesn't provide any answer to this existential question.

Well, maybe neutrino could be used in molecular tweezers. But as of 2022, we are far from being able to produce a beam with an intensity that qualified for a 'laser'.

5. First Soheil's principle challenges

To achieve a true Clinical Immortality, it is necessary to build molecules live inside a human subject. To repair DNA sequences and replace telomeres, without interrupting the whole metabolic processes of the body.

This is why 2D bio printers can never meet these requirements, because it is not as simple as printing a frozen object.

Furthermore, according to the First Soheil's principle, all physiological and neural activities must continue normally during the entire treatment.

First Soheil's Principle or Principle of continuity, and the uniqueness of the self

Definition:
A candle once ignited produces a flame. Should one extinguish this flame, and store the candle for a year, then the flame no longer exist. If the same candle is reignited after this period, then we have... a SECOND flame, it's not the first one! The brain is totally similar to a candle, as the self is concerned. It should always follow the Principle of continuity. If the brain processes were to cease for one reason or another at some point, then at restart it would produce a second self but never the first one. This is why one will neither wake up in the brain and body of a perfect sub-atomic-level copy nor even numerical copy! And this is how we can definitely rebuke the possibility of multiplication of one's self, which remains unique.

U.S. scholar of cognitive science, physics, comparative literature, and author Douglas Richard Hofstadter in his 1979 book 'Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid', also known as GEB, is simply mislead and confused, where the 777 pages are only developing fallacies and absurdities caused by the ignorance of the First Soheil's Principle, such as the duplication of the "self" as a brain is accidentally broken into two parts then rebuilt into two perfect complete copies, leading to the ultimate possibility of unlimited duplication of the self.

Note that another consequence of the First Soheil's Principle, is the debunking of so called Cryonics, a fallacious industry that claims to perform resuscitation and restoration to full health in the far future of people who cannot be sustained by contemporary medicine and thus preserved to low-temperature (usually at -196°C).

Again, here the patient to be resuscitated would be another self.

In a nutshell, you only die once.

6. Power plant

Any beam of neutrino laser should require tremendous electric power. The problem of power plant is therefore a first hurdle. How many nuclear power plants are required to produce a single neutrino laser beam?

7. Environment

Another major hurdle is the environment. Radiations would become a nuisance at this microscopic scale. Therefore, any 3D printer should be constructed deep underground to block all radiations from space and human activities. Additional shielding would be required to block radiations from the rocks such as from radon.

8. Hollow Moon

In short we are looking at something like billions if not trillions of particle accelerators producing the neutrino lasers, each powered by a nuclear power plant, meaning trillions of nuclear plants in total.

The construction should be similar to a hollow sphere, the outer crust made of natural rocks to block all cosmic rays, then a spherical layer of particle accelerators and nuclear power plants, and finally at the center, a hollow place where the human is to be 3D printed.

Seems too far-fetched? Well immortality doesn't come without a price.

Moonfall 2022 1[web.archive.org]2[archive.ph] is a rare Sci-Fi movie depicting a hollow Moon. An artificial megastructure constructed by advanced civilizations.

9. Molecule bond-making

Unlike 2D image printing where aligning dots of colored inks in a 2D matrix will only require the ink to dry to obtain the final image, a 3D molecular printer is not simply limited to aligning atoms in a 3D matrix.

Because the atoms would then scatter or bond together as soon as they are no longer held by the molecular tweezers.

To 'dry the ink' in 3D molecular printing, bond-making between the atoms is required.

One promising tool explored since ~2015 is bond-forming laser pulse 1[web.archive.org]2[archive.ph].

But once again the problem of line of sight will limit this tool to 2D printing.

To deliver intense photon beams inside a 3D object with no direct line of sight, beams of particle decaying in photons must be used.

For instance, the decay of neutral mesons produces high-energy gamma-rays.

These second type of particle accelerators should be built adjacent to the previous spherical layer of neutrino particle accelerators.

10. Real-time 3D atomic imager

An atomic scan of the human subject to be treated would be made prior to the modification and re-editing.

Of course, real-time 3D atomic imaging is necessary during the the whole 3D printing process.

This means a third layer of meson particle accelerators should be built adjacent to the previous 2 spherical layers particle accelerators.

These would be paired at the opposite direction with particle detectors, forming a sphere but with a much smaller radius, near the center of the moon.

11. Data processing

To process in real-time the position of 7 x 10^27 atoms, and control all the various particle beams will require the use of large array of exascale quantum supercomputers.

All to be built underground and powered by as many nuclear powerplants as necessary.

12. Roadmap

▲ Kong: Skull Island (2017): 'The most intelligent inhabitants of that future world won't be men or monkeys. They'll be machines.'[archive.ph]

3[web.archive.org]

Starting from 2030, by launching 50 CZ-9 reusable VTVL super rockets a year, each carrying 100 cybernetic passengers per rocket flights, 2 flights a day, 100 total flights per rocket before being discarded:

• Per rocket: 100 flights/50 days => 10'000 passengers/50 days
• Per fleet of 50 rockets: 500'000 passenger / years

▲ Roadmap of China's manned space launcher 2017-2045. By 2045 fully reusable up to 100 times, 99.5% reliable, 12 hours between each flight, vertical take off, horizontal landing.[archive.ph]
2[archive.ph]
3[web.archive.org]

This means a superpower like China by converting all its industrial capacity to produce 50 reusable heavy VTVL rockets a year would need 500 years to transfer the hypothesized demographic threshold (DT) of about 250 millions robotic subjects (that is the demographic level of the U.S. in 1989, when the nation was about to become the only hyperpower 2 years later), and only to LEO.

And this is only the first and shortest trip. More fleet would be required to shuttle the robotic colonizers from the LEO Space Station to the Lunar Orbit's Station or around another moon, then a third dedicated fleet would ferry the passengers to the lunar or other moon's surface.

Another fleet would carry all the machinery and material needed to develop an industrial base, including gigantic microwave solar power generators constructed around the moon's orbit.

Meanwhile, it would be inaccurate to think that in 100 years, only 50 millions passengers could be sent to LEO, or equivalent of the U.S. demography in the year 1852.

Indeed, it doesn't means that the total population on the targeted moon will be limited to 50 millions robots in 100 years. Because these are only the first generation of workers.

Once the first bases are being settled, then the indigenous production in underground A.I. autonomous factories of newer generation of robots will increase, and exponentially. With the research of indigenous robot scientists, the technological level will even be boosted further, according to the local requirements specific to the moon's ecosystem.

The next step would be to start the carving of the rocky moon, chosen for its cold and not molten core, orbiting far from the Sun therefore less unexposed to the Solar wind, and where it would be possible to build trillions of deeply buried neutrino, meson particle accelerators and particle detectors by exploiting the mined rare earth mineral and other metals.

Uranium or even Helium-3 could be harvested to fuel the trillions of nuclear power plants.

Once completed by the turn of the century, this 3D printed human project leading to the Clinical Immortality could become the 8th Wonder of the World.

Nothing less in magnitude than a modern time Terracotta Warriors Wonder, or Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Quest for Immortality finally achieved.

13. Clinical immortality in the pop culture

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (1999) is a 4X video game, considered a spiritual sequel to the Civilization series. Set in a science fiction depiction of the 22nd century, the game begins as seven competing ideological factions land on the planet Chiron ("Planet") in the Alpha Centauri star system. As the game progresses, Planet's growing sentience becomes a formidable obstacle to the human colonists.

In Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC), Clinical Immortality is a Secret Project. It may be built at a cost of 500 minerals, on discovery of Matter Editation (B12). Clinical Immortality makes one additional citizen into a Talent at each of your faction's bases, and doubles your vote in Planetary Council elections for Planetary Governor and Supreme Leader.
