They are telling us in our faces. You're definitely right about that. Now, that last video was about I Am Legend, but there's another movie we need to talk about. Y'all remember The Terminator, right? Well, depending on how old you are. And of course, we all know the classic scene. And here we are in 2025 with self-healing metals. National Laboratory scientists have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention. According to the material scientists, they confirmed that metals have their own natural ability to heal themselves. But we also have self-healing and DNA folding nanorobots that can reproduce themselves. Robots can reproduce. It's actually happening at a lab near Boston, Massachusetts. For tonight's Weekend Journal, we take you there to find out what this remarkable discovery could mean for all robots that can reproduce themselves inside the body. Now, maybe somebody can help me understand this. Why are we combining the two? We got robots with self-healing and living skin as well as a face that smiles. We even have robots that are made from human cells that can move and heal their own wounds. So why are we doing this? We even have humanoid robots with synthetic organs and muscles. If robots and AI are so superior to humans, then why are they mimicking the human body? It really makes you wonder, especially when we got people like Elon Musk saying we can download our brains to robots. Y'all stay safe.
