- kamaal 9y agoSteam engine unfortunately can't make itself. So.
- gaius 9y agoYou most certainly can use a steam engine to make it possible to make a bigger steam engine by driving machine tools. So.
- kamaal 9y agoStream engine can't modify itself. Sorry. Somebody using tool A to create tool B, isn't what we are discussing here. Tool A should modify itself to become Tool B. And Tool B should modify itself to become Tool C and so on...
- gaius 9y agoModify itself? OK, I will grant you that there are no sentient, self-aware steam engines.
