7. In science fiction (and science speculation) goo refers to a mass of self-replicating nanobots. They could be good nanobots that would do stuff for us, or bad ones that would replicate until they destroyed all life on Earth. Non self-replicating nanobots are sometimes referred to as Paste. Different types of goo are identified by color (although they need not actually be the color they are named by).
- Gray Goo refers to a gooey substance containing self-replicating nanobots that could get out of control and eat all biological matter on the planet. See Black Goo and Gold Goo for other disaster scenarios.
- Blue goo is goo that would attack the Grey Goo, or do other useful things, like clean up the environment, fix the ozone, etc.
- Green Goo is basically the same idea as Grey Goo, but it's made from viruses (the biological sort).
- Khaki Goo is goo used for military purposes.
- Red Goo is bad nano-goo, what we would call the enemy's Khaki Goo.
- Medical Goo, obviously, is goo used for medical purposes.
- Pink Goo is humans. That's right, I mean you. While humans aren't technically nanobots, they are self-replicating, and present a very real risk to life on the planet Earth.
