Scientists predict land on Earth will once again form a ‘supercontinent’ in 250 million years, but New Zealand won’t be part of it - and won't sustain life either.
I’ve often thought of the Transporter/replicator combo and what it would do to humanity if those were invented by someone.
You’d need to basically announce the technology live in front of Millions of people somehow. Otherwise, you’d seriously be at risk of assassination. So many mega wealthy people and organizations would not want this technology in the hands of the masses.
Not just announce it, you’d need to get instructions on building them to as many places capable of creating them as possible.
You’d probably want to get a torrent with the plans started, and distribute the plans with the replicator (say, by programming in the option to replicate the plans).
Then build a big replicator to use to replicate millions of standard sized ones and just start shipping them all over the world.
If you had trasnsporter technology as well, you could just beam replicators all over earth while trying to avoid anyone knowing who was doing it.
I guess though you’d also need a breakthrough in power technology, those replicators and transporters are surely power hungry.
