I think ability to walk upright is a bigger achievement
- nightcracker 5y agoWe could build modern society strictly crawling, without language we would still be hunter gatherers in small packs.
- leephillips 5y agoI’m more impressed by the ability to metabolize oxygen. Nobody will ever beat that.

- morpheos137 5y agowell creatures that can't walk upright are not human so bipedalism can not be counted as a human achievement. Anyway maybe you are right in a broad sense. My point was that extolling physics above all other human achievements seems lopsided to me. Physics is useful for engineering purposes. It is not some all encompassing philosophy or technology that covers all aspects of human interaction with the universe. writing is certainly used far more broadly than the schrodinger equation.
