Thanks Terry,

Steven, a logical error could be in assuming gravity and antigravity are
perfectly symmetric in an inverse way, or that antigravity scales in a similar
way as gravity "all the way down".
This may or may not be true, since the big (HUGE) hurdle to overcome first is
to document that antimatter i

This is similar to the "Ender's Game" series without the happy ending

What I wanted to say it is that a hive can extend itself for hundreds of

Indeed, this is fertile ground for speculative fiction, especially
science fiction. One author I particularly admire, an author who has
thought a great deal about the ramifications Daniel and Jed point out,
particularly how it might play out on the level of human "hive"
consciousness, is Joe Haldem

That's nifty. The robots are working together like ants in a colony,
with some specialization in roles. The capability of the whole swarm is
greater than that of the individual.
In my opinion, a colony of ants or bees should be though of as a single
biological entity, like an animal body.

I know little about cosmology, but is it not the case that:
If dark matter exists the universe is more likely to end in a cosmic
crunch, relatively soon.
If it does not exist the universe will end with heat death much farther

This thesis from NC State has not been mentioned here before, as best I can
