Proto is latin for primitive and/or precursor. Protomolecule also sounds like something a scientist would come up with if they were trying to expand their research funding and had a fickle investor (i.e. Mao).
So while protomolecule sound like something out of the Power Rangers, it's an oddly plausible term.
- Tagbert 5y agoFrom Proteus, a Greek god of rivers and water known for changing his shape and nature to suite the situation. That description suites the Protomolecule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteus
