Flexible glass probably could not have been made in ancient times, so the story is most likely a myth (any story ending with the inventor being killed and the process deliberately destroyed is suspicious). As he reported, Corning has made sheets of flexible glass, and glass fibers are flexible as long as they are bent over a long radius compared to the fiber thickness.

Universal antidotes are almost certainly myths, because they would have to have different effects to counter different poisons, some of them in opposition to each other. The best approach would be a substance like activated charcoal, which adsorbs and traps the poison in the stomach so it can be excreted, but it would not work on ALL poisons.

Damascus wasn't made in middle east, nor was it made by arabs. It was imported from India. Since europeans were big on crusades at the time, they first saw that steel in the Damascus. Hence the name. Also it's "secret" isn't lost. It's called folded steel. The wavy pattern on the blade is the product of dipping the blade into an acid.

+flanker no, the dipping in acid is for etching purposes, and it does affect the integrity of the steel. Damascus steel has the pattern in it already, and it is quite visible. If you were to dip a real Damascus blade in acid, it would likely ruin it even more so than a regular steel sword, because the pattern is made by almost pure carbon trapped between the folded layers of the steel, which is exposed through the smithing process.

Shannon's theorem, the basis of mathematical information theory, limits the rate at which information can be transmitted and the amount of storage (however it may be implemented) needed for a given amount of information. Data "compression" actually means coding to abbreviate redundancies, such as saying "50 'AB's" rather than repeating "AB" 50 times, and much video does contain redundancies, such as an almost identical background in each frame. But after a certain point, the bits needed to describe redundancy actually ADD information, so "compressing" an already non-redundant file actually EXPANDS its storage requirements. This reputed invention is as mathematically impossible as the story "I walked ten miles to school and ten miles back, UPHILL BOTH WAYS."

The CIA actually has a "heart attack gun" that they confirmed existed when they were forced to release classified files. Many believe that it has been used many times, as there were several whistle blowers and people planning to publicly go against the CIA that conveniently (for the CIA) had heart attacks. Several of the individuals were also quite healthy, having no real vice (e.g. smoking, drinking) and exercised regularly. It worked by shooting a very tiny piece of ice containing a poison from some crustacean that induced a heart attack and left NO evidence after a couple of hours. The piece of ice was also so small that the victim couldn't even feel it, or if they did it was less than a mosquito bite. The more you know.

I'm not doubting that some governmental agencies are actively silencing people by poisoning them in an undetectable way but building a gun that shoots ice? How do you shoot a very small, very light and fragile piece of ice fast enough to pierce the skin but not so fast that the acceleration shatters it? If it was true, it would still be classified I guess. Did anyone replicated the gun? I want to see it in action

The Damascus steel theory isn't as magical as everyone thinks. It "tech" was just using layered steel that was folded over dozens of times. That's what makes the ripple effect. The compounds used are thought to be gone because the quarries where the metals where mined ran out. Every quarry has it's own, natural, makeup of various minerals that are in the iron based on location. The iron from that area has some unique properties plus the smelter was built into the side of a mountain that used the surrounding wind as a bellow. It's thought that the air itself also carried in some unique minerals in combination with the unique iron of the area. So it wasn't so much lost as it just ran out. Besides there are many modern steels that are waayy stronger and shaarper then Damascus or wooltz steel was. The technique itself is also well known.
@althesmith 8 жыл бұрын
Actually, it wasn't folded- it was straight crucible steel. You're pretty close about the trace elements, though. Without the traces, especially vanadium, the patterning wouldn't come out as well and the steel, though still useable, was not as much in demand. It wasn't until the 1700's that crucible steel manufacture was reestablished in Europe.

Modern "Damascus" steel is technically not true Damascus. It is a pattern-welded steel like true Damascus, but using different but commonly available steels. Wootz steel is the key and was often an individual blacksmith's "secret recipe" made in a crucible by the blacksmith and blades were pattern-welded from different formulations of wootz. The technique of pattern-welding survived, but the secret of wootz was lost. The closest thing to actual wootz today are molecular and "powder" steels made from finely ground ores that are precision measured and smelted for exact mineral and elemental content.

It seems that the secret is in what plants were used in the smelting process (yeah to me it sounds odd) The wootz was traded at least as far as the Scandinavian countries, where they used a different form of pattern welding (three rods twisted together and hammer welded flat. This isn't taking anything away from the skill of the smiths in Damascus, but it was only one place which became known for swords (Toledo Spain for another).

+Adam Ness Compression isn't magic, it is merely a change in representation. If you try to compress a compressed file, you will see little to no (or even negative) gain. This is because a compressed file is already stored efficiently, with no gains to be had from a change in representation. Unless this movie is a series of black frames (or something similarly simple), there is simply no way to represent that much data in so few bits.

The Geckomancer A lossless compression algorithm requires there to exist a 1 to 1 mapping between inputs and outputs, This means that it is literally impossible to create a lossless compression algorithm that will successfully compress all files. Even assuming a completely perfect, ideal algorithm (impossible to actually write), there are only 2^8000 unique sets of data that could be compressed into 8 kb. This sounds impressive until you realize that there are 2^10000000000 arbitrary files that are 10 GB. This means even with a perfect compression algorithm, only a tiny, tiny fraction (1 out of 2^9999992000) of 10 GB files could be compressed to 8 kb. What are the chances that those the 10 GB files that will compress that small are actually useful files? Ridiculously small. Even with impossibly perfect compression, this claim simply does not hold up.
