There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom

Today's topic is brought to us by the "Godfather" himself Richard Feynman. Back in 1959 Dr. Feynman theorized and gave a presentation on what would later be known as nanotechnology, or the "I want it now" technology. This marvelous little bit of development has allowed us to push the envelops of science even further than before. Nanotechnology is defined as materials from 1 nm to 100 nm. Let's do a reference with a photo of what that's like.
















So, what's this got to do with Christmas. Well only that Santa's elves must obviously have perfected a bottom-up approach with nanotechnology to have created so many toys for the good little girls and boys of the world. I mean come on all he has to do is take some basic components like large quantities of snow for hydrogen and oxygen and possibly kelp for his carbon, nitrogen, and phosphates. Then he only needs some metals, which he probably forces the elves to mine for him at the rate of like half a cookie an hour. This brings him all he needs to build those toys we all love and receive. So Merry Christmas, I'm off to enjoy my gifts and I'll give you one last one for the evening, another comic.
