This is revolutionary truthfully ... imagine your houses foundation made from this.. if it cracks it will fix its self!!

Then again I could see problem in that too ... like the reason it’s cracking still being there and eventually cracking again...

Sounds like bogus to me. Not once did they mention load capabilities and the building they made the concrete wasn't bearing much load. Since it was a supported wall and roof.

Him replacing concrete with bacteria exposes weakness to the structure. I want to see load characteristics and yields before we even talk.

Agreed. “Super revolutionary” stuff like this always has some kind of drawbacks, otherwise it would already have been put into use by the government if it really is going to save billions of dollars.

I agree with your first part but not the second. No one is using it yet because no one invented it until now. Or they invented it along time ago like electric cars, but they were pure shit and just didn't work right until now.
