9.3 – THE NEXT HUMANS (5.20.16)

NANOTECHNOLOGY ^[4d]

November 17, 2015. A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and Rice University unveil the first motor-driven, submersible nanomachines ever created.

“Molecular nanotechnology is the idea of building devices, machines, at a molecular scale. ‘Nano’ refers to a billionth of a meter, so very, very small. We’re getting down to atomic scale.” – Gregory Stock, Ph.D. (Founding Director, UCLA Program on Medicine, Technology, & Society)

Measuring only 244 atoms across, these miniature robots are designed to deliver specialized medicines throughout the body, using the bloodstream.

“They take submersible nanomachines that can be controlled with UV light, and using the UV light, they can control where these nanomachines take nutrients and take medicines into the body.”  – Gray Scott (Futurist)

“As long as we have a way of controlling them from the outside, they can move around very, very quickly, perform a function. If we’re looking at operating on a cancer, then, potentially, they could do that operation for you, from within.” – Kevin Warwick (Prof. of Cybernetics, Coventry Univ.)

“This could lead to huge advances in medicine, in healing, leading to nanomachines that could actually heal the wounds in our bodies, close things up much faster, repair damaged tissue, extend our lifespan, and literally bring us into a new level of human evolution.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), (Author, The Source Field Investigations), (The Synchronicity Key)

Transhumanists believe our bodies will soon be home to swarms of nanomachines, that will both heal, and also warn of disease. And some propose this technology is advancing so rapidly that will not just be future generations that will live tens, or even hundreds of years longer, but people who are alive today.

“The possibility of reversing human aging, as opposed to just slowing it down, is not a very big stretch. So, if you understand aging and the fundamentals of the processes that are leading to it, it would be quite possible both to slow it, and it would also be possible to reverse it.” – Gregory Stock, Ph.D. (Founding Director, UCLA Program on Medicine, Technology, & Society)

“An example of this is a study that has gone on at Harvard, by reversing the muscle tissue in mice. We have actually reversed the age in these mice. And so, if we can do that in the laboratory setting, it’s only a matter of time before we’re able to reverse our own aging process.” – Gray Scott (Futurist)

Could millions of microscopic robots soon be swimming in our bloodstreams, augmenting our immune system, and even reversing the aging process entirely, as transhumanists believe? Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest that if such a transformation does occur, it may be a sign that we’re evolving to become more like our alien ancestors. As evidence, they point to the Sumerian King List, a series of stone tablets that are believed to be over 4,000 years old, and record the reigns of ancient Mesopotamian kings that ruled for upwards of 43,000 years.

“The Sumerian Kings List was handed down to humanity by the gods. What’s extraordinary is that the reigns of these kings last into the thousands of years. These people weren’t making allegorical or metaphorical statements, these were accurate historical records.” – William Henry (Author / Investigative Mythologist), (Author, Freedom’s Gate), (The Judgment Day Device), (Lost Secrets of the Watchers), (The Secret of Sion), (Egypt: The Greatest Show on Earth)

“Ancient texts, including the Bible and the Sumerian texts, talk about ancient kings and other people living incredibly long life spans. Methuselah, who was supposedly the father of Noah, was said to have lived for 969 years.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

“When we look into the past, there’s a clear record of people who have lived a much longer life span than what we have today. We have to wonder if these beings weren’t given or had access to some type of nanotechnology. And it fuels the idea and understanding, and our drive today, to be like the gods.” – Jason Martell (Founder, AncientSchool), (Author, Knowledge Apocalypse)

“And this important nanotechnology is something that extraterrestrials and other advanced civilizations would already have. And it would only make sense that, if extraterrestrials are coming to our planet, they would have brought this nanotechnology with them.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

Might our research into nanotechnology, nootropics and genetic engineering ascend us to the level of extraterrestrials that came to Earth thousands of years ago, as Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining the technology that is being developed to upgrade not just our blood, but even our flesh.
