What they have there may be a good approximation of a neuron, but I'm assuming that there is quite a long way yet to go before something like a consciousness transfer can be done safely.

Post by: redsniper on March 27, 2009, 05:50:31 pm: Yeah, copying your consciousness might be a ways off still, but those nanotube muscles are pretty unreal. Just like everything else with nanotubes really.

Post by: StarSlayer on March 27, 2009, 10:35:08 pm: What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fueled by over four thousand years of total war. This is a fight to the death. For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other.

We cannot allow bunnies to over take the world! Heat resistant up to 1500 degrees C and with a jumping capability of 100's of metres, they will annihilate the human species. They need no weapon - they just jump towards you like a massive...carbon nano-tube bullet... ;)
