Erion Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I heard a blurb about that on NPR this morning, but was at work before they played the actual story. At least they're not nanobots. We can still see when these replicate into numbers high enough to be threatening. Of course, the Asgard could see their replicators, too. . .

twjolson Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 It's such a crock, they don't reproduce except in the absolute LOOSEST sense of the word. I personally wouldn't define what they do as replicating. They take already made blocks that the researcher put in with them and add them to their own. Once it hit a length, it splits. Big freaking whoop. I'm sick of scientist playing up thier accomplishments just to make a little buzz for thier research. Don't get me started on "teleportation"....
