Drexlerian nanotech

[Alphadon]

I never said that nanotech doesn't work in the first place. I merely noted that the initial ideas were flawed. And as for biology not using progressively larger systems-what do you think digestive organs are for? And we're nowhere near making wormholes either, yet we know exactly what does and doesn't work. Finally, remember that nanoassembly in air is pretty difficult from a mobility point of view-they don't have little thrusters, after all. And finally: biological cells are a highly controlled environment! Would bionano work outside of them? Has anyone seriously analyzed its feasibility? Don't get me wrong-I really hope it pans out, but I have doubts. After all, all the transhumanists and futurists before us had a bad tendency to get carried away.

I guess this is pretty far from the original topic by now, but I have a tendency to minirant. Sorry
