Hibbs' kinetic sculpture and Feynman's paper on nanotech

I had the pleasure of touring Hibbs' home and seeing all of his kinetic sculpture in 1993, and I have no doubt his artistic love of automatic machines was behind his suggestion in Feynman's paper that if a small machine could be made, it could be swallowed to do repair on the body. Though Feynman gave him credit for this idea in the paper, he was less well-known than Feynman, so it's been forgotten historically where this "Fantastic-Voyage-with-robots" idea first came from. Dr. Hibbs deserves credit for it, and I've put it in. It's well referenced in Feynman's original paper and not controversial. S B H arris 00:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
