Fascinating stuff! Even opens possibilties about the very birth and fabric of our universe.
They're wrong about one thing however; the replicator in Star Trek never created stuff "out of nothing" (except in the minds of Kazons). It is basically a transporter device but instead of just transfering matter from one place to another, it also during the process reconfigures the molecular arrangement to a preset chosen pattern: for example, basic organic elements into food and drink of a particular kind (or even any matter into another type of matter, like lead to gold; hence why money and therefore greed, crime and poverty are gone in that future). Hence why they still needed ship stores (and why Voyager had to find planets with ressources along her trip home).
In other words, kind of a super molecular-level or even atomic-level recycler coupled with awesome computing power, a progression from our own current primitive recycling technology even farther away as today's space shuttles are from greek galleys of Antiquity.
So this thing they describe is even more wondrous if it would ever lead to the same result" Earl Gray tasting like sunshine!

Once a photograph of the Earth taken from outside is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.

It's a bit old, but the first time I've seen it. Searching for something else and came up on this.
