Mehmani Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Just a question. Imagine that Greek Myths were real. The primitive people that had just been created by Zeus and Prometheus were forbidden from having fire. What would it be like? No glass.No smithing or making of implements.Only wood as a weapons.No light sources. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maghion Syaoran Light Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 in that case, we would not have the Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 We could live without fire but our lifespans would be shorter due to disease and poor food preparation. Only wood as a weapons. Because stone doesn't exist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Griffin Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 No engines, no air travel, international trade stops, many countries which are not self-sufficient in food, such as America I believe, have huge famines and most the population dies of hunger.

Kitty Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I did without 2yrs. I'm sure it'd be fine... That's because you don't need fire where you live Josh, there is a reasonable temperate climate there. And we could live without fire. Just the winter would be harsh and people would die.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 We could. Human managed to survive without fire for many thousands of years, humans would be well able to live. However, the time humans started to go to a higher plane than other animals were when they started using fire. We would still live in rush forests and be a part of the food chain.

::тǿρħєя:: Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 IDK if it's been said already but if Greek myths were real, then we couldn't live without fire. They thought there was a fire inside of you that kept you alive. When it went out you were dead. Or maybe Rome said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put an iron rod in the rain, does it start to glow? O_o Look closer. There is no equivalent process. Lavoisier was either stupid or too optimistic. If anything happens, something must be lost. Either via increasing the speed of atoms (temperature), or producing photons from electrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womi Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 So rusting objects emit light?Makes sense, as oxidations are reactions with an electron exchange and you get light if a charged electron jumps back to it's original position. So electrons have an important role in both, oxidation and light emission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
