Also, I remain unconvinced The West was the first civilization to realize that an electrical conductor cutting through a magnetic field generates electric current. It’s too simple. Somebody else must’ve figured it out.

some #inventions are so damn simple that if they were truly discovered in ancient times they would have never been lost

@kuteboicoder With useful electric current, it’s a pretty elementary level of basic understanding - but also a rather sophisticated degree of metallurgy to make machine-culture practical.
Batteries, on the other hand, are much more forgiving; some people dispute Baghdad Batteries actually were - but I don’t. I think they were used for electroplating.
Baghdad batteries is a myth. Ancestry cultures had no better than capturing a lighting bug for use as a torch
@NotoriousDOG @KingOfWhiteAmerica @kuteboicoder I was disappointed to learn the baghdad batteries probably just aren't real

it's kinda sad that there is at the moment basically no living scientist as great as the best minds of the mid-20th century
we have no Einstein, no Francis Crick, no Feynman
