The nano stuff is just like nuclear fission, may or may not possible and in any case far far away. They can't even write a decent AI yet.


Edit: Now it gets even more strange.... I probably found a clue about the missing link between the one celled parasites and these larger worms. The key connection is the way these species developed. Some species belonging to the group of "myxozoa" (single-celled, parasitic animals), were ones Bilateria (multi-celled parasitic animals). We may face a hybrid species which is capable of crossing the line between single- and multi-celled parasites.

"In structure and appearance the polar capsules closely resemble the stinging cells of Cnidaria. On account of this, biologists have generally regarded the Myxozoa as extremely reduced cnidarians, and in particular as close relatives of Polypodium, with some genetic support. More recent studies of Hox genes, however, point to an origin among the Bilateria. Strong support for this comes from the discovery that Buddenbrockia, a worm-like parasite of bryozoans up to 2 mm in length, belongs among the Myxozoa[1]. Genetically difficult to distinguish from the other forms, it has Myxozoan-like spore capsules, but it retains a bilateral body form with longitudinal muscles. This serves as a missing link between the Myxozoa and their multicellular ancestors."

It's just a theory.


Edit2: Required technology and knowledge are already in existence (probably at least since the end of the cold war).

Bacteria of the genus Rhizobium play a very important role in agriculture by inducing nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of legumes such as peas, beans, clover and alfalfa. This symbiosis can relieve the requirements for added nitrogenous fertilizer during the growth of leguminous crops. The Rhizobium group is studying the bacterial and legume genes involved in establishing and maintaining the symbiosis. This will provide background knowledge for use in applied objectives as well as yielding a wealth of fundamental knowledge with wide implications. Underpinning the work is a continuing investigation of the bacterial and plant genes specifically induced during the symbiosis. The communications that occur between the plant and the rhizobia during nodule formation and maintenance constitutes a novel opportunity to study signal transduction in a plant system. The expression of "nodulation" genes in the bacteria is activated by signals from plant roots and as a result the bacteria synthesise signals that induce a nodule meristem and enable the bacteria to enter this meristem via a plant-made infection thread. The chemical signals synhesised by the bacteria are based on a modified amino acid (homoserine lactone) carrying a variable acyl chain substituent, and are called acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). By detecting and reacting to these chemicals, individual cells can sense how many cells surround them, and whether there are enough bacteria, i.e. a quorum, to initiate the change towards acting in a multicellular fashion. This is known as 'quorum sensing' and this laboratory is coordinating an EU Consortium on 'Rhizosphere Communication' to investigate the extent to which specific plant-growth-promoting bacteria use AHL-based quorum sensing regulation of important physiological traits, and the degree of cross-talk with plant pathogens.

It explains why people see so much different "things" (fibers, small or big worms, eggs..). These "things" must be able - somehow - to merge or transform into different forms. (transformations are usually done for protection, growth or reproduction purposes by most known species) Capable of switching between a multi- and single celled-, primitive and more complex being. That's sick ****.....

Edit3

I have a name for this sick ****:


Genetically
Engineered
Parasitic
Shapshifting
Pathogen

G.E.P.S.P.

It seems like these things even survive boiling, that's something - except one species - only genetically engineered stuff can do.
