The Science of Can and Can’t, a recently published book by Oxford theoretical physicist Chiara Marletto, discusses the concept of the Universal Constructor. We asked her if this could be the future of 3D printing.

As industry analysts in additive manufacturing, we strive to forecast the evolutionary trends of 3D printing technologies across a time period that extends five or 10 years. As journalists, sometimes we venture farther into the future, trying to imagine what will happen in fifty or one hundred years. What if we looked beyond that, without a preset time limit? Then we would need to speak with a scientist to understand what ultimately can and cannot happen. And that is what we did when we had the unique opportunity to interview Chiara Marletto, Research Fellow at the Physics Department at the University of Oxford.
Professor Marletto is a theoretical physicist, and her studies focus on Quantum Theory of Computation, Information Theory, Thermodynamics, Condensed-Matter Physics and Quantum Biology. She just published a book titled The Science of Can and Can’t, which is based on her recent research harnessing a recently proposed generalization of the quantum theory of information—Constructor Theory—to address issues at the foundations of the theory of control and causation in physics.

In the book, she also explores the concept of the Universal Constructor, which could represent the ultimate evolution of today’s 3D printers. “It is not the main part of the book—Professor Marletto says—however it is the inspiring principle for the Science of Counterfactuals – Science of Can and Can’t – that is commonly referred to as ‘Constructor Theory’, that is the theory of the universal constructor.”
But what exactly is a Universal Constructor? And how does it relate to today’s 3D printers? One possibility that comes to mind is something like the “replicator” described in the fictional Star Trek series, which is a machine that assembles objects at an atomic level. In some ways it is. The Universal Constructor was proposed as a theoretical model by physicist and mathematician John von Neumann in the 1950s to generalize the idea of the universal Turing machine, that is, the universal computer. “A universal computer is a machine that can be programmed to perform any computation that is physically possible—Marletto explains—the Universal Constructor on the other hand is a machine that can perform any transformation – not just computations – that is physically allowed. In particular, von Neumann devised it to emulate the behavior of cells, which can self-reproduce.”
One element that the Universal Constructor does share with 3D printers—which is also one of the defining characteristics of the Universal Constructor—is that it could make a replica of itself, something that inspired the early RepRap 3D printing movement and continues to define 3D printers even at the highest industrial levels: the ability to make parts for new printers.
Another key concept is that the Universal Constructor requires not only energy and/or raw materials but also knowledge, which—Professor Marletto explained—is a particular type of information contained in a software program, that must be given as input to the universal computing machine and also to the Universal Constructor so that they can perform the desired computation. The next question is: if we had enough of all these elements (energy/materials and knowledge) could we make a 3D printer that can make anything?
“We do not currently have a complete theory of the Universal Constructor,” says Professor Marletto, “so, your question does not have a precise answer. Much depends on the resources available in the universe, and on other aspects of our physical laws. However, we can say that there is no physical law that prevents creation in a Universal Constructor.” In other words, the laws of physics as we understand them today allow for the creation of a machine that can produce anything: the fact that doing this is incredibly complex with our current technological capabilities does not mean it is impossible as it would be, for example, to create perpetual motion machines, which are prevented by the principle of conservation of energy.

I'm looking to build an AI that can discover anything in advance anything whether it be impossible the human mind or not for example able to tell us how to build anything events anything from science fiction to fantasy for example couldn't tell us an event magic using parallel universes physics that we can't even comprehend or how to see the universe with intelligent AI God like life or biological life are able to tell us how to create new fields of scientists that are impossible to us like super scientists I can do anything or even discover what's beyond the multiverse infinitely if there's aliens civilizations if there's an infinite number of gods and many many more any idea that you can imagine that has been written about in science fiction are fantasy are an Ideas are concept of theory and beyond it will be able to analyze the internet using data and predict effort could exist in the reality or if we could create something like the infinity goblet etc these are just some examples of ideas that this AI will be able to analyze and tell us how to build our discover MAKE IMAGINATION REALITY September 03, 2020 at 07:15 Science fiction, fantasy, or magic today, reality tomorrow September 3, 2020 (Viz Release) – – My name is Khole Montaga and I’m seeking funding for my really out-there ideas. I want to find scientist-researchers and intellectuals interested in working on projects from time travel, to magic and even fantasy. I want to give rise to the creation of genetically engineered, super intelligent, rapidly evolving entities that wave a real magic wand on supercharged AI. I am seeking the creation of artificial intelligence that can self-assemble and create metaphysical entities. Imagination is boundless and can help us achieve new and innovative technologies from uploading our minds to creating dimensions and universes that are currently unknown. I foresee a parallel omniverse in which we can look at other types of sciences: alien sciences, magic, and research-like concepts. Omniverses and beyond can result in unique creations we only now see in Marvel Comics. They can bring to reality knowledge once only dreamed of in science fiction, fantasy or technology magic. Using super intelligence, we can create God-like minds capable of generating their own omniverses. I’m seeking logisticians interested in studying things like dimensional entities, omnifabrication, etc. These are but a few examples of my speculative and imaginative ideas. Along with the right people committed to research eons ahead of its time, I want to bring them to reality. In this vein, I’m seeking start-up funding for KHOLE’S IDEAS, a new company which will implement my vision. KHOLE’S IDEAS is a start-up seeking to extend the boundaries of knowledge by the implementation of speculative
