British astronomer Sir Martin Rees warned us about all this ~ including gray goo entropy~ in his prophetic 2004 book, Our Final Hour. In it, Rees also talks about the possibility of a runaway disaster occurring from a #CERN / Fermilab type of experiment provoking atomic disassembly throughout the entire #universe and the #collapse of #space itself.
#Now at this moment the question of #unhinged, #uncontrollable #nanorobots is uppermost.
Yes, #humanity must quickly put aside all our internal conflicts and focus on our #common existential #threat. Pointing fingers at what particular people believe is the particular human perpetrator behind all this is idiotic.
It is like fiddling while Rome burns.
This is not about humans hurting humans, this is beyond all that.
It is about something profoundly #non-human and #anti-human threatening our entire species with extinction. At the same time we should not despair because all things require energy to survive, including machines. Since nanorobots and WBAN must steal our electromagnetic energy and our ATP to run themselves, if we could figure out a way to cut off their power supply whilst sustaining our own life-force we would be in with a chance. We should not give in to fatalism.
