What is the greatest human invention?
None of the above. Language is the greatest invention.
i wouldn't really class language as an invention, it's more of a evolutionary thing
Whoever the first person was to associate a word with an object or concept invented that word, so I disagree with you.
Symbolic representation. (language, writing, arithmetic)
Newsflash,...
Fire was not invnted.... (note our Sun for example)
Fire (like, water, ice and shiny rocks) falls under the category of "discovery."
The sun is a nuclear reactor, not fire.
The sun is a nuclear reactor, not fire.
Air conditioning is my favorite invention.

Its not in the middle of the universe, or even our galaxy.
Not everyone enjoys science.
Personally, I am glad the sun isn't in the middle of our galaxy, since that would make us die. Its nasty over there.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
where hydrogen is built into helium
at a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas
Iron
Copper
Aluminum
and many others
Science with a ska beat!
Ewww. Ska. My first girlfriend tried to get me into that stuff. I certainly wouldn't put that on the list of mankind's greatest inventions.
I prefer industrial with ultra heavy beats, germanic accents, and the sounds of stuff being broken. It makes me feel ready to take on the world.
Its not in the middle of the universe, or even our galaxy.

It's a quote from a movie.
A comedy.
You can laugh now.
I am.
There is nothing better on Monday morning than a rocking brass section.
