REPLICATORS ARE REAL!!! (sort of)

[jeffsumm]

This youtube video shows "modular robot" pieces that re-attach when broken apart. A bit slower than on Stargate, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.

Replicators do exist. However, they aren't the kind of replicators that you are thinking about.
The replicators that exist at the moment are VIRTUAL replicators - they are patterns and programs on a computer screen that will replicate to infinity if given enough time.

How long does it take to replicate to infinity tpn? Please enlighten us and the rest of the mathematicians in the world that are looking to see if there is an answer to this lol
