The guy thinks that hiring a team of rocket scientists means that he is a rocket scientist himself and that it means that he already knows all there is to know about everything.
Never mind the fact that in the early days of SpaceX, there were people hired whose entire job was to distract Musk with bullshit work so everyone else that actually knew what the fuck they were doing could work around him.
"Nano applies to everything and therefore means nothing. Definitely indicates bs."
What? When will your companies switch from those bs nanometer scale transistors in their CPUs and use down to earth millimeter etching? Make it even more awesome! Centimeter wavelength!
While I appreciate the effort (and the info!) I don't think anyone in good faith actually needs to be told that nanotechnology is real and potentially very useful.
How could anyone use uncyclopedia as a source for anything other than laughs? That's ridiculous.
Here's their article on redundancy, as a reference to anyone that doesn't know how intentionally and obviously non-serious the site is.
Well, its ACTUAL intended use (and the most common one) is to say basically "I'm going to criticise you, but it doesn't mean that I don't respect you as much as you deserve".
In some cases, including Musk, the amount of respect deserved is none and as such you can use the term correctly without respecting the person you're addressing at all.
MElon probably means that "nanotechnology is bs", and no it's not, it's just a science that is in it's infancy, and one that may become extremely useful in the future.
Also Elon says that while pushing NFTs and crypto constantly.🤦♂️
I mean like everything is nanotechnology, you can mayyybbe argue against quantum if youre really stupid, but like even smoke alarms use some nanotech.
Its mostly a buzzword tbh, and that's from someone getting a degree in the field (we learn a shitload but its not much different from advanced chemical engineering)
It's a prefix and it depends on the suffix it's attached to. If you are talking about a nanometer it's 10^-9 meters. If you are talking about nanotechnology, that's a buzzward. In between that though there is plenty of meaning. If you are talking about graphene nanosheets, that means they are nanometers thick, i.e. roughly between 10^-9 m and 10^-7 m. In the material science context nano means the size of an object. Nanobeads would be nanometers in diameter. as opposed to microbeads which would be micron sized. A nanomachine would be a machine that is nanometers in size, etc.
I assumed the scientist was doing something with nanotechnology, which according to the CDC is “the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials and devices. The technology promises scientific advancement in many sectors such as medicine, consumer products, energy, materials, and manufacturing.”
