@77Fortran no... im not on drugs now, but, just because you mentioned it, we can wrap that up in here as well. People use substances for a variety of reasons, one of them can be for mind-expanding purposes, that is also known as the psychedelic realm. When under the influence of chemical or fully natural psico-actives (shamanic)the brain starts operating in a different wave length, allowing the experiencer to access "information" layers that were seemingly invisible to the 5 senses array.

@dreedee hehe are you on drugs? If you don't really understand how important it is to understand fundamental physics then that's a real shame! You would have no computers, internet, GPS, etc.etc. if it weren't for the findings of 'merely experimental' machines.

[dreedee]

@77Fortran OK... although both the LHC and the great Pyramids are huge scientific apparatus, the Pyramid had/has a function a purpose, an operational concept. The LHC is merely experimental, and really until they flick some bolts and turn it into ainter dimensional transport (a.k.a. whorm-hole based portal), its just a very expensive M&Ms crusher! And on that subject, the news yesterday was "scientists may have glimpse the Higgs", lets highlight that "may have". You cannot find what is not there

[77Fortran]

@dreedee You think something like the LHC isn't incredibly more advanced than some big pyramids? Laughable!

[dreedee]

@77Fortran Seriously you think the last 400years of western dominion dwarf the achievements of previous cultures? ok.. I got a one word reply to that:

"Pyramids".

[77Fortran]

@bohemianwriter1 I think this is understating the significance of the secular scientific revolution that originated in Europe. The understanding of the physical world that has been achieved in the past 400 years, overwhelmingly in the West, completely dwarfs the efforts of previous cultures and civilizations.
