Thermal motion

(TODO: Explain why thermal motion does not make mechanosynthesis impossible)
(TODO: Give general overview about the relevance of thermal motion in the context of APM.)

Reated

• The finger problems
• Nature does it differently
• Diffusion transport
• Thermally driven assembly
• Thermally driven folding
• The heat-overpowers-gravity size-scale

• Want an intuitive feel for the speed of atoms?
• Often mistaken as a reason that makes macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale (making up advanced Nanofactories) impossible.
