I have a theory of the concept behind the hanging gardens.

Well, after studying the pictures of the gardens, I find nothing impossible about them.
What if instead of the elaborate engineering you guys are suggesting, what if they simply employed human labour? As in, lots of servants to water the gardens? That seems like a simple solution.

rockiedink:


Trust me...or ask any engineer...channelling those grooves are nowhere near as hard as building the pyramids themselves...piece of cake.

The water wheel is basically a contraption to harness hydropower...let's say a very basic for of a hydro turbine...but with the right add-ons, you can channel that water anywhere you want. The water wheel doesn't spray the water...it can direct the flow of water...

...and with a bit of pressure properly applied...anywhere could be 'upwards'

Teempakguy:
Hello.

Another way, yet, of looking at this is that cancer cells, due to genetic diversity, cannot be classified because each clone has a different genetic make up. It is not like malaria, in which, all the plasmodium have the same Genetic make up and can be finished off with a single drug. A cancer cell is essentially brand new and varies across each individual.

johnydon22:


I agree those two concepts are very ancient, they are just improving now

1miccza:


I used to believe that we are much more advanced scientifically now in terms of methods and ideas now, the scientists back then would have been pretty good then... and i am Engineer...

Mathematics, strictly speaking is not Science. Mathematics is actuality one of the "subjects" that shows that the so-called 3 great branches of (man's) Knowledge ie Science, Social Science and Arts, are actually basically the same thing/have same source. The only difference between them been the DEGREE OF MEASUREMENTS of observable phenomena associated with these "branches" ie Precision in Measurement. Science been the most Precise (that is why Science places such emphasis on minute measurements and instrumentation as well as axioms) and Arts been the least Precise.

Mathematics on the other hand is basically LANGUAGE. Nature's Language. The Language of knowledge ie of ALL the "branches" of Knowledge - Science, Social Science and Arts. Thats why Mathematics can be useful to express phenomena in all these 3 "branches" .

The reason why it seems Mathematics is a pure Science is cos by its nature it's the measurements therein are as precise as Science. But it isn't an exclusive property of Science.

By d way, from the aforementioned it is clear that am a big advocate of the "Unity of Knowledge" ie that all things Known and Unknown have ONE SOURCE and hence obey same FUNDAMENTAL rules/principles. All the plenty divisions of this Knowledge is only an attempt by man to understand phenomena.

Lushcream:
I tell people that KNOWLEDGE is the utmost we all sought and can be achieved through Science, pseudoscience, Social Science Art, etc.....

I wouldn't say Science is the most precise as it depends on the intelligentsia of the brain seeking answers but Science is the most logically comprehensible branch of knowledge that is apparent to humankind in this present time.....

Another branch of knowledge bigger than Science may occur in Million years to come or before then .... then we shall throw Science away same way we did Arts.

johnydon22:
Do you mind getting us the picture impression of the hanging gardens?

NDprudent:



Dis should b the main point. Cancer cells re likely to have different genetic make up in different individuals. This genetic faults of cancer cells change with time making it uncontrollable by gene targeted drugs

BigBen10:


what is a brand or brane? Never heard of that before. I thought we just have one universe.

johnydon22:
[b] Bro i beg to differ. . . Science entails study. . so if any branch of study will occur in the future it still will be science, maybe just in an improved way. .

Just like the ancient science are in the form of improved knowledge in this generation. . Alchemy - Chemistry, astrology- astronomy...etc

So that knowledge in the near future surely still remains science only in a more improved way

Teempakguy:
this is a borrowed phone. I am having a network problem on mine. I will upload a picture as soon as my phone gets well.

Lushcream:
Science does not equate Knowledge ..... this is where many Science students get it all wrong ...... Science is just a branch of knowledge i.e a means to knowledge........ Science is just a logical proven knowledge that is devoid of abracadabra even I read some certain axioms are still unexplainable till date with science ............ while with pseudoscience you can get to the root of such axioms but it may be beyond logical realm.

The world is evolving,Knowledge is evolving and keep getting evolved thus you never can decipher the new means to accurate and more precise understanding of phenomena in millions of years to come that will make mankind of those time to realise oooohhhhh Science tried but not definite .......... We of today should not be full of ourselves ....

Mankind of Million years to come may see us same way we are seeing Gorilla

Lol. . bro i never asserted science= knowledge, there are many ways by which knowledge can be deducted. . . i said science = study. . . the gorilla part tho

celestinho:
this is where your dictionary comes in

Lushcream:
This answer my questions alot since years ........... I discovered that I reason like my dad and his dad though better as a result of addition of technological values, globalization and everly dynamic environment ........ Now, I really believe If I advance the quality of my "thinking" faculty through excess zeal for academic, professional, technological and humanitarian prowess will this have impact on my offspring in terms of their gene(natural instruction/program) ..... or instructions could be lost ? .... oya clarify me abeg ?

Lushcream:
Teempakguy ..... this question is still hanging and begging for answer

johnydon22:

Ok bro let me see if i can upload the ones i have on my phone so people who dont have the idea of what we are discussing. . . You know wonders of the ancient word incited my interest in ancient historical antiquities . .maybe you can also open a thread about this ancient civilozations, architecture and antiquities

johnydon22:

razzydoo:
Beautiful thread. Concerning the hanging gardens, have you guys heard of creepers/climbers in agriculture. I think it could explain the hanging nature of the garden.

Queed:



This is 'purely' correct, and its the fact too.

I always try to have an open mind about everything, and when scientific facts contradict believe or the other way round, I always put to use the the law postulated by some QUALIFIED African Teacher/Lecturers know as 'Gba bee's ' (youruba language meaning take it like that ) theory.
like u asked in your other post; 'why does rain fall' , I would accept the scientific facts and also accept the 'Belief'

hope you don't start seeing me as a nuisance because I believe

Chrisbenogor:

Errr ever cross your mind you do not have enough data to make a very good scientific judgement?

All the proposed solutions y'all will come up with cannot be tested no?

johnydon22:
Yes bro that is why i first referred to any explanation we would postulat as a hypothesis. . . we first need to personal study the hanging gardens then try and demonstrate the plausibility of our hypothesis maybe by a simulated version or something . . only then can we refer to it as a theory that may be near in explaining the garden. .

SIRANDREWS:
why is the universe so massive?

can we ever explore our galaxy in a thousand years time?

When will we start investing money and time into theories that make faster than light travel possible?

the talk of infinite universes is so mind boggling

is our own universe ever going to contract?

brb.......

Chrisbenogor:


Exactly, actually you find that the world of finding out what happened can be very interesting. With data you try to deduce what happened, you avoid traps like “Correlation does not imply causation”


Anyways I will watch from the sidelines as you guys talk of esoteric stuff.

I am looking for a street way to explain to a kid why our DSTV satellites face the same direction even though the earth is spinning. He asked uncle is it that the DSTV stations are in heaven

ELYMAXiimus:

I see u're having fun.. ...

Teempakguy:
first, tell him that heaven is not up there.

Teempakguy:
Ah, yes. You are thinking along the lines of Lamarck's theory of use and disuse.
It has been proven wrong. No matter how you improve yourself. It is only your genes that your children will inherit. Never your abilities.
