Mike, what you say might be a tricky way to observe the ETs, however, the
real trick is to find a means where we can sustain the knowledge. It may be
that your proposals has been tried dozens of times and we have discovered
the existence of nanobots each time. The trouble of course is that each time
the nanobots destroy the relevant knowledge. For example, they erase the
physical records and replace the memories of conducting the experiment with
something else. Think of the ET nanobots as akin to a virus. We need
something that would discover and purge the virus in one fell swoop. Here's
a sad thought: everytime our civilization verges on discovering nano and
SIAI history is reset. Imagine that the nanobots destroy all the
infrastructure of our civilization and recreate the world as it was in 495
BC. Presumably many people would have to be purged, since there are so many
more today, and those that remained would have to have their memories
altered. Bummer. Mark.
Mark.
