jimmytavino 16 #4 December 19, 2007 7 out of ten mostly from guessing!!!!hahaha no kiddin' ran off 4 straight correct answers then got bogged down a bit, then finished strong.... gotta get nerdgirl on this....... i think that she's knowledgeable about Nano tech..... jmy a3914 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #9 December 19, 2007 .... 'i know a little ' ...hahaha good one...not to worry.. the last one doesn't count!!!!!i'm scared to take the quiz again.... i'd likely guess... AGAIN,, and likely get a 2 or 3 out of 10 ..... best to be content with that first try... ...... jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #11 December 19, 2007 I'm proud to say, I got the last one right!(and only a couple others. The last one was the only one I was 100% sure of.) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #12 December 19, 2007 WoW! 8/10 without knowing crap about it! Today is my lucky day! I should go buy a lottery ticket. I shoulda got 9/10..."buckyballs" was vaguely familiar.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Don't get too hung up on the 'goo' questions. Back in 2003, 'green' (bio-nanotech gray goo) and 'red' goo ("weaponized" gray goo) hadn't yet been dubbed. I don't endorse any of the goo notions (violate 2nd Law of Thermodynamics & problems with viscous flow, i.e. Reynolds number, in fluids like air) unless they're shot out of a silly-string like dispenser ... and smell good. Drexler has professionally reemphasized the fundamental limits of physics relating to nano-engineered devices, emphatically distanced himself from the self-replicating ‘nano-bots’ notion, and now acknowledges the unexpected and unintended hyperbole that arose with the “grey goo” concept. See Drexler's “The Road to Advanced Nanotechnologies,” presentation at the National Academy of Sciences Sackler Colloquia on Nanomaterials in Biology and Medicine: Promises and Perils,” Washington, D.C. 10-11 April 2007. Brief and audio available through: http://www.nasonline.org/site/PageNavigator/SACKLER__nanoprobes_program. At approximately 30 minutes into talk (Slide 32), Drexler profusely apologizes for his unintended role in promulgating the nanotechnology to nanomachines to nanofabricators to replicators to nanobugs. A number of non-governmental groups, however, have emerged the main proponents (and sometimes critics) of the notional concept of molecular nanotechnology, e.g., The Foresight Institute (http://www.foresight.org/), the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing (http://www.imm.org/), Center for Responsible Nanotechnology (http://www.crnano.org/), and The Lifeboat Foundation (http://lifeboat.com/ex/main). There were lots of other small to medium technical quibbles that would really just be nit-picking (& since I'm not paid to nit-pick, aka subject-matter-expert in this case nor was it a Speaker's Corner poll ...).

nerdgirl 0 #23 December 19, 2007 QuoteBut, I hear there's a consensus building on "goo" my favorite goo? Nope ... I'm a grey goo denier. It's more controversial -- in some ways -- than climate change, e.g. Nanotechnology: [Eric] Drexler and [Richard] Smalley make the case for and against 'molecular assemblers' QuoteShoe Goo - It keeps booties intact to extend time between rebuilds.
