Genes larger Than Atoms

Moving atoms has already been done

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_(atoms)
IBM in atoms was a demonstration by IBM scientists in 1989 [1] of a technology capable of manipulating individual atoms. A scanning tunneling microscope was used to arrange 35 individual xenon atoms on a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel to spell out the three letter company acronym. It was the first time atoms had been precisely positioned on a flat surface.[2]

IBM creates world's smallest movie using individual atoms

Now in chemistry moving atoms is done on a very regular basis, making phenols for instance from benzene molecules. in effect moving OH atoms onto the benzene molecule

As for genes, the following wiki will provide a basic level of how changing them is, can or will be done

The reason I ask is because some of the information that was a surprise to you, should have been taught in high school science, which if you have not yet taken would been understandable.

I always get called a child.

I never finished high school and got a GED instead. i have gone to college and have an A.A. Degree.

And I'm not sure the technology the video discusses is actually taught in school at all. I know, well, at least it certainly wasn't when i was in high school during the 1980s. Or at least it wasn't aught in my high school, which was in a small town of about a thousand people in it.

I understand, I think the fact you are learning about this stuff now is great.

I hope you find this interesting and continue to learn more about it.
