Phage [related: Silurian Hypothesis]
Robotic looking self-replicating virus composed of protein encapsulated DNA.
Phage have been used experimentally by Soviet scientists to preserve food and
virophage. There are thought to be around 10
31
phages on earth -
more than every other lifeform combined. It is estimated that over 75% of all
marine bacteria is infected by phages. The metallic, mechanistic appearance
and highly advanced/efficient self-replication methods of phages has led to
speculation that they in fact constitute nanotechnology of either ancient or
alien origin — an idea supported by the Silurian Hypothesis

1 An academic paper authored by climatologist Gavin Schmidt and physicist Adam Frank postulating the existence of an advanced reptilian species 2 pre-dating the age of the dinosaurs. Taking its name from the Dr. Who television series, the Silurian Hypothesis points out that certain extant seemingly biological systems may in fact be remnant advanced technology.
2 The Silurian Hypothesis in turn relates to the error central to error texts.
