100 Scientific Discoveries that Changed the World

It's a book, created by National Geographic.

I'll write most interesting here:

#77 The Wheel oh cars. They allow us to travel faster. 

#3 World Wide Web That fast way to share information. How I'm here.

# (A ton of numbers) Theories on physics, particle physics, etc.
I find these interesting, but there were so many, I can't list them all.

It's a national Geographic Magazine, that is so interesting.

Have you heard of it? What other things have you found interesting in that book?

Re: 100 Scientific Discoveries that Changed the World

Don't all scientific discoveries change the world?
To whatever degree

These were the most affective, and some discoveries don't always change the world.

The person who first proved that cows milk was drinkable was very, very thirsty.

Have you heard of it? What other things have you found interesting? What are your opinions on these?

I think that the topic of Scientific Discoveries is broad enough without opening the topic up to even more interesting things  hmm

Perhaps you can rework that last paragraph so that this topic doesn't wander off into Spamsylvania?

He meant what did you find interesting in the article.  wink

Granted, he may want to reword that to clarify.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: 100 Scientific Discoveries that Changed the World

How about language?
Or mathematics?
Well, they're not really scientific discoveries...
I guess Turing completeness...?


Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

#24 Modern Number System

#25 Abacus

A lot of them have to do with physics, which have to do math...But I didn't see one about language, unless you count binary code as language.

@Paddle Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm talking about a certain book, and I was asking if you have read the book, what is interesting to you.

@Jeff That isn't one -_- but it is important.

Sir Walter Raleigh discovered that tomatoes weren't poisonous. That means we can have spaghetti bolognaise!

Re: 100 Scientific Discoveries that Changed the World

I think I'd care more about this if I could see all of them.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

I think I may have seen/read/glanced at this book, or one similar to it. I remember penicillin being one of them...

Sounds really interesting.

EDIT: No, that wasn't sarcasm. I just realised it could've sounded like it.

Hahaha lol  tongue  xD.  Does this person know that we have the World Wide Web, cars, electricity, and pretty much literally everything else because of number 89173598175 (physics theories)?
