At the moment Bose-Einstein condensate returns to it's original form when the quantum state collapses.
What if the information in the condensate can be completely wiped. This would give a piece of cosmic goo that could be anything. A stem material that could derive anything as long as the initial
conditions for collapse are valid.
Maybe lead can be sidestepped to gold.

It's called a Replicator, and it's Baked. Even the Cardassians have
them, and they have trouble finding their backsides with both
hands

What information is in the condensate that you wish
to wipe? |
|
|
The complex sets of patterns still in the condensate.
The homeopathy memory that causes the collapse to
reweave the material back to atoms that were
cooled. |
|
|
I am imagining that trying to cool (temperature being
one dimension on the patterning) the information
more, it will just become more ingrained. The
pattern will have to be white noised out. Maybe with
the pattern that was prior to the big bang. |

I think that, however far you cool a bottle of (say)
helium-4, you've still got a bunch of helium atoms in
there. When they form a BEC, it's just that they're
all in the same state - which is a state of "being a
helium atom". It's not like they degenerate into some
sort of soup of elementary particles, is it? |

When I ride my bike, I get see the road from a
different perspective. At intersections rubbish
accumulates on the road, at areas of non travel.
A bit like sound waves working sand on a metal plate. |

I have sometimes wondered if the nucleus is like
this. Take the traffic away and the subparts are free
to be as they are, not as they are forced to be. |
|
|
Then again, using the traffic pattern of the early
Universe would be incredible dangerous. |
|
|
That is true; the morning rush hour is a bad time for traffic
accidents. |
|
|
Maybe you should use the traffic patterns of the Sunday
afternoon of the early Universe. |

[8th of 7] frequency is unimportant. It's the trajectory that counts. Only the drunk that swerves through rubbish will again scatter the collected debris back to the four winds. |
|
|
The simple answer is that we don't know how. The more
complicated answer is how you intend to build anything of
such small parts anyway, given how they like to squiggle
away. |

This sounds vaguely like string theory. |
|
|
It might be bad science, but it's good bad science. |
