Nano-weapons research booming in China with an assist from the USA

One of our family’s reasons for immigrating from Russia to the West (in 1972) was the danger to the free West from totalitarian societies like Russia and China. But hey presto! In 1986, Eric Drexler had finished a cycle of his nano research and published the results in a volume, entitled “Engines of Creation” and containing a chapter entitled “Engines of Destruction,” such as weapons that can destroy a country without the latter’s retaliation, that is, without “mutually assured destruction.”

What is “mutually assured destruction”? Every powerful nuclear country can prepare a secret depository of nuclear bombs. After an enemy nuclear attack, these secret nuclear bombs go into action and destroy the enemy country. Hence the name — the nuclear destruction is mutually assured.

Drexler’s molecular nanotechnology came from the realization that molecules have enough space within themselves and hence can be converted into supermicroscopic (“nano”) machines, able in particular to seek out the enemy secret depositories of nuclear weapons and thus preclude the enemy’s retaliation.

However, it was necessary to convert Drexler’s ideas into products, just as the ideas of E. Fermi, L. Szilard, and some other scientists named by Einstein in his letter to President Roosevelt of August 2, 1939, were converted into nuclear bombs as a result of the “Manhattan Project,” the allocations for which — the original $6,000 authorized — had grown by the spring of 1945 to $2,000,000,000.

Resistance is futile.

i was just thinking last night about a nuke the size of, say, a fly's egg, delivered by a gps-guided nano-fly right onto the shirt of whomever you wanted to do that to.
