Anton Drexler ( 13 June 1884 – 24 February 1942 ) was a German far-right political leader of the 1920s, instrumental in the formation of the anti-communist German Workers ' Party.

The German Workers ' Party was the precedent to the Nazi Party, and Drexler served as mentor to Adolf Hitler during his early days in politics.

Born in Munich, Drexler was a machine-fitter before becoming a railway locksmith in Berlin in 1902.

Though Hitler was originally against the idea ( but later convinced ), Drexler changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers ' Party ( Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP ) early in 1920.

Drexler was thereafter moved to the purely symbolic position of honorary president, and left the Party in 1923.

Drexler was also a member of a völkisch political club for affluent members of Munich society known as the Thule Society.

His membership in the NSDAP ended when it was temporarily outlawed in 1923 following the Beer Hall Putsch, in which Drexler had not taken part.

The term clanking replicator was used by Drexler, is informal and is rarely used by others in popular or technical discussions.

The Institute was founded in 1986 by K. Eric Drexler, no longer with the Institute, along with his then wife Christine Peterson, who is now President.

He was an outspoken critic of the idea of molecular assemblers, as advocated by K. Eric Drexler and introduced scientific objections to them.

The DAP was founded in Munich in the hotel " Fürstenfelder Hof " on January 5, 1919 by Anton Drexler, a member of the occultist Thule Society.

Drexler was encouraged to found the DAP by his mentor, Dr. Paul Tafel, a leader of the Alldeutscher Verband ( Pan-Germanist Union ), a director of the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, also a member of the Thule Society, and his wish was for a party which was both in touch with the masses and nationalist, unlike the middle class parties.

Following this incident, Anton Drexler was impressed with Hitler's oratory skills and invited him to join the party.

The term grey goo was coined by nanotechnology pioneer Eric Drexler in his 1986 book Engines of Creation, stating that " We cannot afford certain types of accidents.

The term was first used by molecular nanotechnology pioneer Eric Drexler in his book Engines of Creation ( 1986 ).

In 2005, a computer-animated short film of the nanofactory concept was produced by John Burch, in collaboration with Drexler.

The technique of moving single atoms mechanically was proposed by Eric Drexler in his 1986 book The Engines of Creation.

In the same year, Feder, together with Anton Drexler, Dietrich Eckart and Karl Harrer, was also involved in the founding of the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (" German worker's party ," DAP ), which would later change its name to Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, more commonly known as the Nazi party.

In February 1920, together with Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler, Feder — who also was a member of the Thule Society — drafted the so-called " 25 points " which summed up the party's views, and introduced his own anti-capitalist views into the program.

Harrer was also a member of the Thule Society, which gave him the task of founding a " Politischer Arbeiterzirkel " (" political workers ' union "), an order he carried out together with Anton Drexler in October 1918.

On January 5, 1919, the DAP was formed, in which not only Harrer and Drexler but also Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart were involved.

The Encyclopedia was written by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, with Debbie Mirek, and illustrated by Doug Drexler.

Margot Elisabeth Dreschel also spelled Drechsler, or Drexler, ( May 17, 1908, Neugersdorf – June 1945, Bautzen ) was a prison guard at Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

Clyde Drexler also laments when watching Peggy shooting a free throw that " if we had her instead of Ainge, we would have won the championship ".

Drexler, without thought of his own safety, on seeing that the charge of powder for the left gun was ignited, jumped for the right charge and endeavored to put it in the immersion tank.

During the ensuing fire Ensign Drexler and Boatswain's Mate First Class George Robert Cholister attempted to dump powder charges into the immersion tank before they detonated but failed.

MNT nanofacturing is popularly linked with the idea of swarms of coordinated nanoscale robots working together, a popularization of an early proposal by Drexler in his 1986 discussions of MNT, but superseded in 1992.

In light of this perception of potential danger, the Foresight Institute ( founded by K. Eric Drexler to prepare for the arrival of future technologies ) has drafted a set of guidelines for the ethical development of nanotechnology.

However, Drexler addresses this in Nanosystems by showing mathematically that well designed catalysts can provide the effects of a solvent and can fundamentally be made even more efficient than a solvent / enzyme reaction could ever be.

K. Eric Drexler later took the Feynman concept of a billion tiny factories and added the idea that they could make more copies of themselves, via computer control instead of control by a human operator, in his 1986 book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology.

This is probably because the term “ nanotechnology ” gained serious attention just before that time, following its use by Drexler in his 1986 book, Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology, which cited Feynman, and in a cover article headlined " Nanotechnology ", published later that year in a mass-circulation science-oriented magazine, OMNI.

Biostasis in humans, as a future medical technique, has been described by Eric Drexler in his 1986 book, Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology.

The Diamond Age depicts a near-future world revolutionised by advances in nanotechnology, much as Eric Drexler envisioned it in his nonfiction book Engines of Creation ( 1986 ).

In Chapter 4, Engines Of Abundance, Drexler illustrates both exponential growth and inherent limits by describing nanomachines that can function only if given special raw materials:

Drexler notes that the geometric growth made possible by self-replication is inherently limited by the availability of suitable raw materials.

Exploratory engineering is a term coined by K. Eric Drexler to describe the process of designing and analyzing detailed hypothetical models of systems that are not feasible with current technologies or methods, but do seem to be clearly within the bounds of what science considers to be possible within the narrowly defined scope of operation of the hypothetical system model.

While both critics and proponents often agree that much of the highly detailed simulation effort in the field may never result in a physical device, the dichotomy between the two groups is exemplified by the situation in which proponents of molecular nanotechnology contend that many complicated molecular machinery designs will be realizable after an unspecified " assembler breakthrough " envisioned by K. Eric Drexler, while critics contend that this attitude embodies wishful thinking equivalent to that in the famous Sidney Harris cartoon ( ISBN 0-913232-39-4 ) " And then a miracle occurs " published in the American Scientist magazine.

A molecular assembler, as defined by K. Eric Drexler, is a " proposed device able to guide chemical reactions by positioning reactive molecules with atomic precision ".

In 1992, Drexler introduced the related but better-understood term " molecular manufacturing ," which he defined as the programmed " chemical synthesis of complex structures by mechanically positioning reactive molecules, not by manipulating individual atoms.

Drexler argues that we may need to wait until our conventional nanotechnology improves before solving these issues: " Molecular manufacturing will result from a series of advances in molecular machine systems, much as the first Moon landing resulted from a series of advances in liquid-fuel rocket systems.

On June 6, 1997, Melissa Drexler ( born 1978, a. k. a. " The Prom Mom ") delivered a baby in a restroom stall at her Lacey Township High School prom, and threw the body in the trash before returning to the dance.

Projected as a solid first rounder in the 1984 NBA Draft, Bowie was chosen by the Portland Trail Blazers as the second selection, ahead of Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, due to Portland already having drafted Clyde Drexler just a year before.
