You made me do a Google search, and now I have to wait until the weekend before I can make these... 10 Best Raspberry Cocktails

Just saying.

In your opinion, what is the greatest scientific discovery, invention, tool, breakthrough, idea, attempt, contribution, mistake, catastrophe, hoax, joke, or whatever of all time?

With a vengeance
In Denver, the members of a Sunday-school class were asked to set down their favorite biblical truths. One youngster laboriously printed: “Do one to others as others do one to you.”

War of the Worlds

Though not intentional the war of the Worlds broadcast sent 1000's of people into the streets panicking, thinking that there was actually such a thing as aliens.

On the other hand aliens likely would eat us because food and water is pretty scarce in the Cosmos. And if they looked like crabs, we'd probably eat them with a tub of butter.

Why is that?

 

[Hans Blaster]

Why is that?

He's afraid of his ape nature.

Discovery/breakthrough: heliocentric model.

We are not the center of the universe.

Discovery/breakthrough: heliocentric model.

We are not the center of the universe.

Maybe not.

But God created the earth first, then created the universe around it.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Maybe not.

But God created the earth first, then created the universe around it.

Then God got it backwards, because the earth is made of the remnants left over from the formation of the Sun.
And the Sun is a 3rd generation star. Made from elements that were created in older stars that had long since died.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Exactly, one just needs to see how much the Inca and Aztec empires have grown and prospered without the wheel since the Spanish arrived.

Given that the Spanish left all their wheels with the boats on the shore...
It was disease, horses, and steel swords that were the most potent weapon of the Conquistador. Not wheels.

 

[Mr Laurier]

I bet the slaves wish they would have at least used wheels for pulleys.

What slaves?

In your opinion, what is the greatest scientific discovery, invention, tool, breakthrough, idea, attempt, contribution, mistake, catastrophe, hoax, joke, or whatever of all time?

Sticking to science only, and not engineering.
discovery- Other galaxies
invention- Mass spectrometer
tool- weigh scale
breakthrough- The realization that planets orbit in elliptical, rather than perfectly round, orbits.
idea- That we can in fact know how reality works.
attempt- The ongoing effort to see into the first few nanoseconds of the universe
contribution- The women who did the actual calculations behind modern astronomy
mistake- Race.
hoax- The Cold Fusion hoax
joke- Gamow inviting Boeth to join him and Alper in signing a paper on cosmology

I disagree.

And the Sun is a 3rd generation star. Made from elements that were created in older stars that had long since died.

I disagree.

Can you tell me why you can know the chemical makeup of a star hundreds of thousands of light years away, but can't find evidence for a soul or spirit inside your own body?

Jesus asked the people of His day:

Luke 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

 

[Mr Laurier]

I disagree.

Reality does not care

I disagree.

Again, reality does not care

Can you tell me why you can know the chemical makeup of a star hundreds of thousands of light years away, but can't find evidence for a soul or spirit inside your own body?

Maybe because there is no soul or spirit inside my body

Jesus asked the people of His day:

Luke 12:56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

Huh?
You are sure?

 

[AV1611VET]

Maybe because there is no soul or spirit inside my body.

Thanks for the QED.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Spectroscopy.

but can't find evidence for a soul or spirit inside your own body?

It is difficult to find what most likely does not exist.
