I can imagine that one reason there is no evidence of any extra terrestrial intelligence is because it always ends up as grey goo. The most viable solution I've heard is the idea of nano-robo-cops or blue goo. (Who do I credit?) But how is it possible that blue goo can be made more viable than grey goo? Which form of blue goo would be the most viable? One that protected dna based life forms or one that just protected itself against grey goo? I will incorporate any good answers into Viability Changes, a Hypercard+STELLA based simulation game. -- kirk ["Blue Goo" was first used by Alan Lovejoy... --JoSH]
