    We’re really bad at a lot of things, despite what we have achieved. Just because you have a piece of material doesn’t mean you can just recreate it. It’s like Newton being handed a CPU. He may even be able to look at the nanoscale structures but he sure as shit can’t recreate it. We’re simply that far behind.
