Grey Goo

Grey goo happens with a replicator floating in a bottle of chemicals replicates itself in say, 1000 seconds. So in 1000 seconds there would be 2 replicators and so on. At 10 hours, there won't be 32 replicators but over 68 billion. In less then one day, they will weigh a ton, in 2 days, they will outweigh the earth. In another 4 hours, they would exceed the mass of the sun.
Do you think this could happen somewhere in the furture?
Discuss.

I agree with Tural.

According to the conservation of matter, that theory fails, miserably.

Do you know how much bigger the sun is then the earth, if the sun was a soccer ball the earth would be a little smaller then a dime

This man speaks the truth.

That's not really relevant.

Conservation of matter? I thought it was energy...

Both, you cannot destroy or create energy and matter only convert it to other forms.
in the case of matter it would either be through atomic fusion or fission or through making a new compound element.

This 'slime' of Crytic's could take in energy from its surroundings, just like a plant or bacterium, no?

It's still completely ridiculous.

In the ridiculously slim chance this does happen, I'm totally going to punch Tural in the face.

We all know you're going to punch me in the face whether it does or doesn't happen.

Yeah, but lets just hope that the grey goo doesn't eat us all before I can get to you.

Its all exponential.

i doubt a random pile of goo will start forming and end up engulfing the entire universal galactic boundaries...seems a little far fetched if you ask me

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed.

There are exceptions.

One can convert energy to matter, but it takes a lot of energy to make a very small amount of matter... It's also a lot easier to just convert matter to energy.
