LAUNCH OF NANOSHIELD FUND
Abstract
The Lifeboat Foundation begins the ambitious effort to protect Earth
against attacks by nanoweapons.
Story
January 7, 2008 -
The Lifeboat Foundation has launched the
NanoShield Fund which will be used to turn their
NanoShield
program into
reality.
LF International Spokesperson Philippe Van Nedervelde says,
"While we won't be funding the development of massive utility fog
curtains or orbiting laser platforms in the near future, we can do
something today."
Currently this fund's goal is to pay for the Thermal Censorship of
Ecophagy Study by Robert A. Freitas Jr. He has found preliminary
evidence that diamond mechanosynthesis may not be reliable enough at
ambient temperatures to sustain an existential risk from microscopic
ecophagic replicators and needs to investigate this
further.
