“ Ho un amico artista e non sempre sono d’accordo con le sue opinioni: magari prende in mano un fiore e dice: ‘Guarda come è bello! ‘ e sono d’accordo. Poi aggiunge: ‘ Io, in quanto artista, riesco a vedere com’è bello un fiore. Voialtri scienziati lo fate a pezzi e diventa noioso ‘. E io penso che sragioni.
Prima di tutto la bellezza che vede lui è a disposizione di tutti gli altri – anche mia. Forse non avrò la sua estetica raffinata, ma so apprezzare la bellezza di un fiore. Per di più vedo nel fiore qualcosa, anzi molto, che lui non riesce a vedere: posso immaginare le cellule, anch’esse con una loro bellezza. La bellezza non si ferma alla dimensione dei centimetri, ma si is also on smaller scales.
Think about the actions and other complex cell processes. The fact that the colors of the flower have evolved to attract pollinators, for example, is interesting: it means that insects can see colors. And one wonders: can we find the aesthetic sense of man even in lower forms of life? Many fascinating questions arise from scientific knowledge: this can only increase the sense of wonder, mystery and respect that comes in front of a flower. Only increase. I do not understand how and what might fall. "
By reading these reflections of Feynman, who in 1959 proposed the advent of nanotechnology, Prof. Jasper has introduced one of the most visionary and eclectic scientists of the twentieth century. Feynman striking fact for its ability to describe objects and technologies unimaginable in his time, as if he could actually 'see' in his mind. Things that obviously could only guess instead. Amazing how he came to these insights is not known, but we can safely assume that the extent and versatility of its scientific expertise, which is typical of the eclectic minds, allowed him to 'cross' otherwise isolated information and draw conclusions from new and unusual. Feynman was a scientist and therefore particularly man 'Renaissance' and this peculiarity, that made him a prophet of a new science that could follow, however, only the first steps - he died in 1988 - is contained in the famous prayer which was held at Caltech in '59 and we listened to some songs from the voice of the Alice Salvoldi.

Among other things, Feynman speaks of a therapeutic use of 'nanowires': "[...] You put the mechanical surgeon in a blood vessel, and these, following the current gets to the heart and looks around (of course information should be transferred outside). Learn about the defective valve with a small scalpel work. Other small machines might be permanently inserted in nel corpo per aiutare qualche organo che non funziona bene.” E ancora: “ Quante volte, lavorando su un oggetto insopportabilmente piccolo come l’orologio da polso di vostra moglie, vi siete detti: ‘ Se solo potessi addestrare una formica a farlo! ‘. Il mio suggerimento potrebbe essere di addestrare una formica ad addestrare un acaro a farlo.”
Follia? Possiamo certamente immaginare che per molti presenti all'orazione non fu facile credere alle visioni di Feynman. Oggi invece, dopo le scoperte che negli anni si sono succedute nel campo della biologia e della genetica, siamo in grado, per esempio, di ‘programmare’ delle cellule a curare altre cellule.
E non solo. La Stampa, Wednesday, January 21, 2009 public: "It 'was created in Paris a nanorobots whose thickness is similar to that of two or three hairs, which should travel and arrive in the arteries to the brain and check for any abnormalities. The university has created a team of Clayton, Australia [similar objects were also conducted in the laboratories of Tel Aviv dell'Unversità ed.] The mechanism, with a diameter of 250 nanometers, will be equipped with a tiny engine that can let him go up the blood stream. The first experiment, when it will be done is to enter the neck. "Further comments on the Prof. Masserini, a professor at Milano-Bicocca: "When we talk about nanosommergibili can carry medicines, but we're already thinking about tools that have the 'equipment' cells that can repair or intervene to make interventions nano surgery .."
seems that the dream of Feynman (made 50 years ago) is becoming an amazing reality.
