I voted for the wheel cause without it we would be able to live and transport oil and get our economic boost we have now rhanks to oil..

nukes is a desaster for this civilication so thats the wursed discovery imo.
And last IDGAF about money. i just love to spend it!

and sex.... ofcourse thx god he discovered its the most powerfull so its no choice cause the question was human discovery! Grin

I'm going with money, as much as the wheel is a brilliant invention and we are where we are today because of it, there is something about the concept of money, then when taken a look at at a psychological, what people can do with it, and how far people are willing to go for money, it is the most single destructive force in the planet. At least with money, we've been able to work "economically".  through economics, we are able to produce stuff so efficently that everyone can have a smart phone now for ~$70 (NZD so whats that in USD?).

Without money we'd still somewhat be somewhere around ancient times because it would be hard to tell how much fish 1 person on a production line gets for a car.

in fact i totally agree with you but other then money wikthout oil money has no fundament in THIS econic life since its the most important product our economic boost in the west lives on!! so its a combination of both. but remember how many products we use with oil. too many!! without it we wouldn.t have smart phones either and first..... no transport is no economic boost so the wheel should still be  the most important one!! also the way moeny is ruling our western lives makes people go bad..... and do evil stuff.. cant say that of the wheel. it helps to develop people in a good way. money aint.......  Wink

but from the perspective Human and power its pretty damn obvious its so powerfull. but if i had a evil mind i still prefair a nuke over money.... so lets talk......

remember that war is one of the most disscusting but usefull stratagie by america to keep eveybody to work.......... and give there economic a boost! (as long war is not in the american continent they are fine with it) the coverment ofcourse....

Antiseptics and the whole sterilization thing. Revolutionized medicine, prevents the spread of disease and overall has made life expectancy much longer.

Is this thread supposed to be about the most important discoveries or inventions?

I would say that the internet is the most important invention ever.  I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread.

I agree.

And although Andy Vanwyngarden says it best, it's a blessing but it's also a curse.

Internet is probably the most significant invention, or perhaps the use of electricity in a domestic setting.

Sex is possibly the most important because without it, civilization wouldn't have lasted very long.   Smiley

I think the development of writing has given our species an incredible advantage over all other species that have ever existed on planet earth. Instead of our knowledge being based on our own limited set of experiences, thanks to writing we could progressively build on a stored collective of experiences and discoveries (including those of the brightest geniuses). Of course internet builds on this even further. Knowledge communication has been one of humanity's greatest strengths.

Not necessarily a discovery though, more of a development/invention.

The internet only really caught on because of porn, so porn is probably more important in the grand scheme of things.

My view would be Mathematics though as it is the foundation of much of our scientific and technological advances and without it our world would be a completely different place.

Stop, I think there's a difference between "discovery" and "invention". Internet, transistors, shoe-horns, sliced bread? Inventions. Heliocentrism, dna, Rosetta stone, electromagnetism? Discoveries.

The Rosetta stone had to be 'invented' first though.  Tongue
As in, it was human made.

But yeah the distinction has certainly been lost in this topic.  Smiley

We would still have Diddy Kong Racing, but it would only have hovercrafts and planes, and not cars.  Of course it's not as good as kart, but I guess it's the next best thing.

If we're going to modify DKR anyway, then I guess we should add in MTs and remove A-tapping.  Then it would be almost as good as kart (although I'm not sure how hovercraft MTs would work).
