What, so two guys have a debate over this and now no one can talk about it?

Nanomachines are impossible son. you can't program something which is too small to have a circuit board or storage drive.

>what is programmable matter?
You don't know how to do magic?

It is exciting OP, pretty soon our prosthetic bodies will be all nanomachines and we will be like the liquid terminator.

I'm just worried about the grey goo apocalypse and very very curious as to why it hasn't happened yet since it would be so easy to create.

that's sort of like asking why a single nuke hasn't gone off since hiroshima which I think is another good question

My guess is that there are powerful and capable forces at work keeping the world spinning.

funny, the first nuke scientists were worried that the hydrogen bomb would set the atmosphere on fire and kill all life on earth.

Now were worried will invent little robots that will eat everything on earth

>We have plenty of art forms depicting this new, very possibly revolutionary idea. Science fiction is usually just hints for what's next, as we've seen over time.
Ah, that's some fine popsci faggotry you've got there OP.

eventually pop sci will come true. cellphones used to be pop sci.

My theory is that everything you can imagine, you can create. Otherwise you couldn't imagine it.

go ahead and make nano particles that can seek out certain types of proteins, repair cells, and kill viruses. nobody's stopping you
