When you stand on the planet and look up you will offen see a HUGE planet taking up a lot, if not most, of the horizon. Of what we know of how gravity works, we shouldn't be able to be in orbit around this thing, the planet shouldn't even have been here for anyone to have found in the first place and have been pulled in a long time ago, let alone alowed to form in the first place.

So as for the concept of "bending reality to their will".....? It's ether that or our understanding of the scientific laws is 'basic' indeed.

As for why no nukes. Spit-dalling here, but. It's posible that they just dont have the resources to make one, you do need a very particular type of resource to make one and while the nanites can transfer resources from one spot to another (braking them down at one point and rebuilding at another) can't make anything from scratch that is not already found on the planet. This might also explain why no one side has tryed to just take their best fighters and mass clone them, the nanites can't make a new person untill the same person has been broken down. Whether this is a limit of design or programing, theres not really a way to tell.
