how hard would it be to make a machine that makes any chemical using just basic shit like hydrogen gas due to its sheer abundance in the universe? i figured this would be pretty revolutionary for space exploration since you'd have vital stuff on demand.

Sure, just figure out fusion and manipulation of macrosopic amounts of material on the molecular scale, patent, and profit!! How hard can it be?
>>8899383
Hard for you, maybe
Fucking brainlet

Heh, easy for a math major, just give me the equations

Due to how lame the physics is in our reality, you would need nuclear fusion to do that so its a waste of time.

This would be very hard. If you want to make organic compounds there are equilibrium imbalances you have to deal with. Plus hydrogen gas is not exactly safe to work with... Because of its flammable properties.
>>8899376
It would be dangerous and take up too much energy.
>>8899376
Making water with oxygen and hydrogen gas is explosive, I don't want to imagine other compounds.

Why would a math major AKA a god concern themselves with such petty material issues?

it's call 'alchemy', and there's been almost no progress toward achieving it. I wouldn't want to discourage you though, you'll definitely be the richest person in history if you succeed
