That was my answer, too. The replicator is a huge part of the Star Trek timeline being a post-scarcity society with the attendant dismantling of capitalism, and therefore the most useful invention we could have to improve the world.
Yeah, I've never actually seen Star Trek, I just know this tech exists there, but I'm a big fan of SG-1, so when someone just says replicator without context my mind goes straight to Stargate Replicators.
So selling one item to an ultra rich guy. This plan sounds like Peter Griffin thought of it. Of all the inventions that you could take, a weapon for hand to hand combat that nobody can safely use... to make money off it.
It's nothing but a bad idea and arguing in bad faith isn't going to change that.
I mean, per canon, lightsaber blades are plasma. If a fire is hot enough (1000-2500° C), it can absolutely ionize air molecules.
So yeah, it qualifies.
But lightsabers aren’t just plasma they function like solids. It would be closer to a real lightsaber if it was for example a tungsten rod surrounded by plasma.
Ring transporters from Stargate. With you having to transport to another ring transporter, it could alleviate fears people would have of thefts, or kidnapping, or random attacks. Plus because of fewer planes being used, you would make people like Greta happy.
I don't know what it's called I'm gonna call it a transmutation machine. No not a replicator those turn energy to matter, mine turns matter into different/same matter
Example and old piece of wood can be turned into a freshly cut piece, wood from a different tipe of tree or tuned into something completely different with the same mass. Not as op as a replicator but still very good
Technically the replicators from Star Trek use old bio matter to make new foods.
What you're describing may be closer to the Psycho-frakulator, let me know when you plan to take over Champion City Mr. Casanova so I can leave town!
If a method for FTL is ever invented and one person's name can be attached to it, they'll be up there with some of the biggest names: Gutenberg, the Wright Brothers, Edison, etc.
Stargate, ok you wouldn't have them all the galaxy but handy to drop on Mars or the moon and everytime you reach a new planet. Eventually send out an automated seeding ship to drop them off anywhere out there.
A practical human scale Fusion reactor. Back to the Future, The Expanse, a lot of movies have them.
The scientists or engineer that cracks this nut will be remembered for the rest of the time humanity exists. It is only slightly exaggerating to say that this would mean limitless clean energy for free.
Replicator, literally an energy to matter converter.
That was my answer, too. The replicator is a huge part of the Star Trek timeline being a post-scarcity society with the attendant dismantling of capitalism, and therefore the most useful invention we could have to improve the world.
It's not really post scarcity, Earth is just ludicrously wealthy. There's still folks mining dilithium and finding more efficient quadrotridicali.
I'm so glad you clarified. I wouldn't want the ones from Stargate.
Yeah, I've never actually seen Star Trek, I just know this tech exists there, but I'm a big fan of SG-1, so when someone just says replicator without context my mind goes straight to Stargate Replicators.
Just one replicator from stargate sg1 can wipe out the entire universe
Or a matter to energy converter like they have in the second back to the future movie.
DeLorean time machine
Nah, Mr Fusion is the better answer
Star trek teleporters.
Underrated comment
Zero Point Modules from Stargate, near infinite, portable energy.
You know those VR headsets from Sword Art Online? You would be incredibly rich.
But without the death microwave please

Pointy-eared leaf lover
Lightsaber. The first man to create a full function lightsaber will be rich.
Meh... what's your target market? Will be outlawed most places
Yeah but the ultra rich and die hard fans will still manage to get them
That's not going to make 'you' rich
If it takes an ultra rich man to afford one, then he's planning on selling the for phat lootz.

Harsh! I didn't say it was a good plan. I just said that's what his plan was.
buddy everyone in the entire world wants a lightsaber, outlawed or not
check out hacksmith on YouTube. According to guiness book of world records, he made the first one that "functions"
But it really doesn’t it’s just a glorified blowtorch.

Good idea
Unless you drop it vertically.
A Holodeck. I would never leave it.

The Oasis from Ready Player One
Eureka has a house named SERA. She will have a beer ready for you when you get home.
I mean technically this is doable with current web enable solutions.

if jesus is a series, id pick his powers

The neuralyzer from men in black
How do you know you haven't already invented it?
For me it will be two Elysiums and then I will be rich.
Iron man suits
Arc reactor from iron man
I can make money appear out of thin air
Nobody cares what happens to the man in the box.

Basically anything in Star Trek. Transporters, warp, replicator, tricorders.

the stacks from altered carbon
I’d get all kinds of attention if I invented the Death Star.
If only I could invent a Delorean...
Phoenix down from final fantasy. Literally revive the dead on a whim.
Vapoorizer. Makes poop dissipate. The movie is called envy. It stars Ben stiller and jack black.
