* Nanotechnology + Effective material omnipotence from a hunter-gatherer perspective + Quantum computing * Megascale engineering + Dyson spheres, ringworlds, et al. * Femtotechnology + Like nano, but with baryons instead of atoms + Transmutation of elements, new materials ("artificial atoms") + Probes that can land on a neutron star + Refinements: Higgsium, monopolium * Chromotechnology + Like nano, but with individual quarks + artificial baryons + fastest achievable purely material computers (probably) * Spacetime engineering + manufacture of negative matter + time travel + violation of thermodynamics (permitted by either of above) + nonmaterial computing, possibly at infinite/transfinite speeds + wormhole FTL + tardis warp FTL + prevent/outlive Big Crunch + DIY Big Bang + Linde Scenario / Alpha Line computing * Reality engineering / descriptor theory + root permissions on the Universe + violation of conservation laws + effective material omnipotence from a modern-day perspective * Ontotechnology + "change the type of things that can be real" + First Cause engineering + treat the laws of physics as material, manipulable objects + qualia engineering, objective morality + violation of information-theoretical laws (?)
