How will Nano asseblers really work outside labs? It would be very difficult
to build a nano assebler that would be able to deal with all the different
evolutionary micro organism. It would have a hard time dealing with self
organization of it's own molecular structure let alone the diverse attacks
from other micro organism. Plus most micro organism really only function
well at a certain tempature and ph. It seems highly improbable that a nano
assebler can be created and be functional in a non-isolated enviroment. Why?
because evolution would have already created them a thousand times over.
It would be much more likely to incorporate a nano assembler in some type of
existing organism. However this would be very difficult for the nano
asseblers to do anything too complex as the organism would determining how
they assembled together. It might require many stages of many slightly
altered micro organism to get one simple effect.
When they do get these nano asseblers up and running in labs it will be
interesting to see their evolution occuring even at that level. Maybe after
the first one replicates 10 to the 100th power they will evolve enough. But
will they still be funtional? If we select the functional ones to survive
will they evolve enough?
I'm sure there are many things I'm overlooking here,
Thanks for your help, Nate
