"As one researcher said, 'Earth appears to be hard-wired.'" But, of course, it is only the appearance of it. glennj

And also given the proper instructions of course. We have an old saying in the machine programming business: It did exactly what I told it to do, just not what I wanted it to do. DaveScot

Presumably, once we can program bacteria like little robots, they can build just about anything physically possible with atomic precision given raw materials, energy, and a non-toxic environment. DaveScot
