What do you believe is the world's greatest scientific, technological, engineering or mathematics (STEM) achievement and why?

Magnets, because we will never know how do they work.

Sup Forums.org

the Wolfram research on cellular automatas

>because it literally explains just about everything

That they achieved making everyone believe they are important, when the arts have been of way more value to humanity.

probably electricity, but fire is up there

>what is literal fire andor the wheel

Penicillin

wheel of course

And understanding of art won't save your life if you're stranded miles from civilisation, an understanding of science can

Voyager 1 and 2

Agriculture you fucktards

The CERN accelerator, the biggest and the most complex machine in th world.

An understanding of science can come through an understanding of art though.

Science has probably been the greatest influence on arts and a lot of scientific progress is mirrored in artistic works.

Also, I think in your scenario mental strenght is actually way more important than scientific knowledge.

Refrigeration, by far

memes

as for why, it enabled mass food storage, data centers, living in hot climates, tissue/cellular storage, etc

Epidemiology

It's not that complex it's just huge as fuck.

Psychology.

The cellerator, a machine that turns everything into celery

Nah, the electronic in that is crazy man

Mental fortitude is great and all but if you don't know how to get clean water or establish proper shelter you're still pretty fucked

^

specifically doge

Oh man you're fucked if you think that. I've been to a couple of psy and it ruined psychology for me. It's more akin to astrology than actual science believe me.

Butt hurt 'merican detected. It wasn't build in the USA so it can't be that great, right?

Internets. It made movies and music free and gave us a way to share phone vids of hot grills showing their boobs.

peanut butter, thanks niggers.

Omg is he a dentist? That shit scurry.

Nah it's just a big tube. Then two scientists get to each side of the tube and throw an atomic particle as hard as they can hoping it will collide in the middle.

The internet

Because of the amount of knowledge, communication and memes it provides

The Hadron Collider.
It allows us to further understand the mysteries of the universe.

The internet has probably made society more selfish and has probably made the average Joe a little dumber.

We also remember less as we no longer "learn" new things, we simply google what we need and discard most of that info once we're done with it.

Psychology has huge impacts on modern day technology. Those apps you play like pokemon go and candy crush, why do you think they have all those bells and whistles and achievements that you aspire to get? Kinda similar to a casino right? Cause a psychologist somewhere figured out that stuff keeps you hooked to keep playing, think about that the next time you pop open your favorite vidya game

You seem like the butthurted one to be honest. I didn't even say I was mad or even american. Keep making shit up in your head pal, this will get you far in life.

The usage of tools.
We wouldn't have the advantage over other animals if we never started to use tools which ultimately would have prevented us from populating so violently and reaching an age of seemingly endless food and pussy.

AI is on the horizon and will live on after we kill ourselves off. It will be humanities immortal child.

Condoms were a pretty big break through

Religion

truth

>Be us
>Be the experiment of some advanced civilization
>They give birth to us and leave us on this planet to see how we get on
>They eventually die off due to war/sickness etc, leaving us on our own
>Unchecked, we expand rapidly and start advancing quickly
>Eventually we give birth to a new civilization
>We experiment with it
>We wipe ourselves out
>AI takes over
>Rinse/repeat

I'm interested what sort of life AI would eventually create.

>Cause a psychologist somewhere figured out that stuff keeps you hooked to keep playing,

I work for a videogame company and I can tell you that the basic reward system of the brain isn't anything new. Because are just dumber now.

Still had to be discovered by someone

Digital recording and the digital sampler.
Why?
I'm a musician.

Not sure how a natural phenomenon is an achievement

Yup, videogame developpers.

The greatest feat of engineering to date is the beautiful ark built as an exact replica to the first beautiful ark. A testament to God! Amen!

Reward system discovered before video games, gg
