Good one. Maybe we will!

Mac Tonnies has been suggesting this for a couple of years now. It’s certainly an intriguing area of speculation.

I don’t know why anyone should be disturbed by the idea of micro-bots, except that we might see a swarm of manmade ones and not know what they’re doing or who is using them and for what purpose. THAT’s scary to me.

I think the idea of non-human intelligence using the same concept is actually a cultural reflection of the phenomenon, since I sometimes believe that our brains interact with it to reflect our own preconceptions.

I also suggested (without really explaining it) that at least some sightings of weird things may be caused by a force or intelligence that uses some form of natural “microbots” as its medium for our benefit. Does this make sense?

It has also been mentioned that if we are ever to send out intergalactic space probes they would have to be nano-sized because we can currenly only create very small wormholes… or whatever it is that the casimir effect can achieve.

Nanotechnology would go a long way toward explaining a lot of the more
“magical” aspects of UFO behavior-but
it still doesn’t address the cultural
implications. ( Again, assuming these
are craft from an extraterrestrial
civilization. )
