The Chaos of Material Manipulation

Everything you touch right now was once a glowing pool of liquid metal. It is actually wild

how we manipulate matter to build our world. We literally pour molten aluminum

into sand molds to create car engines or blast metal into steel dies to make your phone housing.

We squash metal dust until it becomes solid gears and use literal explosions to weld giant ship

hulls together. We even use diamonds to slice through steel with microscopic precision.

And now, we are using lasers to 3D print rocket parts from thin air.

Next time you hold your phone, remember the absolute chaos it took to create it.
