Threshold 9

Teleportation

Ingredients+Goldilocks conditions=complexity

One super genious + the right math equation, and the right technology, understanding of how to handle a wormhole= teleportation

Questions

I think that the next threshold will be about other life in the universe or maybe a apocalypse.

It will be good to know if we have other life forms in the universe but bad for a apocalypse. Once again good for the biosphere bad if it is a apocalypse.

I hope that we do encounter other life forms and a zombie apocalypse would be pretty cool. If the aliens were evil.

Yes it is humanity's greatest tools. I hope one day we can fly.

Initial thoughts

I think that the earth In 100 years from now will be a very different place. Because the plate tech tonics keep moving there could be a mountainous places and maybe more oxygen the hole in the ozone will be gone an sealed, global warming may be at a all time high, which is a bad thing but with technology there is always a fix. Technology will probably advance so much so that we will have hovercrafts and maybe encounter another form of life such as aliens. I think this because we are advancing so rapidly as it is I could see us doing these things in the future.

Based on the theory's of lee and sahlins hunter gathers had a better life. Based on the fact that they had a good diet they were able to live longer which allowed them to have a better quality of life. They were less disease prone because of their healthy diet. They were able to socialize and interAct with each other because they were not sick all the time this improved their quality of life.

Text 12

The society of hunter gathers according to lee and sahlins is more advanced than we once thought. Many experts believe that the hunter gather were on the brink of starvation. Because of lee and sahlins new theory we now know they had a food diet an they were not on the brink of starvation.

Text #10

The people of the kitavan village are very healthy individuals. They are so healthy because of their diet that they eat. Their diet consists of low fat and high potassium. I agree with the Kitavan people are healthy strictly because of their diet. It's becoming more complex because of all of this information I'm learning from this investigation.

Investigation 7 post 3

Text 4
It made their life better. Why it made it better is because they had stationary houses so they could really plant crops wherever they wanted. They could produce for their villages.

Investigation 7 post 2

Text 3
These artifacts for hunter gathers were basic tools basic in shape rectangular and a circular shape. We can inquire that collective learning helped in the in revolution of new tools these tools for the agricultural one shaped like a hoe these tools made out of metal they had plant poker to poke holes in the ground better more advanced tools from collective learning.

Investigation 7 post 1

1. Food water shelter habitat animals family friends collective learning tools weapons vehicles community energy power technology
2. Fats disease paranoia no access to medical supplies pop allergies drugs
3.agricultures had the better qualities for when they grew their crops it was almost a guaranteed food for family or village where hunter gathers had to hunt and might not have gotten a kill to eat.

A. Men they killed the food women gathered the food
B. they were able to learn and build
C. It was easier to grow agriculture than it was to hunt and gather

The domesticated animals of the Chinese farmers helped with the abundance and supply of food for the villages

Threshold 1:  Is the big bang and the creation of everything.
 In the beginning everything was 

compacted in a small molecule.

  Cause: some unknown thing it was very hot and dense in the space then it started to expand then it got got cold then everything expanded in a explosion. 

Effect: then everything got cold and then it  made protons and electrons they didn't equal out and everything was still atoms started to form and expansion of the universe again, it formed everything.

Alternate: The creation story is said that god created everything. Many religious people believe this. 

Threshold 2: This is the stars. 

Cause: The Big Bang gases an dust compressed together and after  50 million years or so stars began to form. 

Effect: We have elements  and makes night more distinctive in the night sky there  are more stars than there are grains of sand on every beach on the earth.

Alternate: ASTRAIOS  was the Titan god of the stars and planets, and the art of astrology. By Eos he was the father of the seasonal Winds and the Stars. The arrival of these Winds was heralded by the rising of certain constellations. Eos created the stars in the night sky.

Threshold 3: these are the elements 

Cause:  When stars were made from the Big Bang. Threshold 3 was caused from the stars blowing up it would take thousands of years for electrons to combine with them and create electrically neutral atoms. The first element produced was hydrogen, along with traces of helium and lithium. Giant clouds of these primordial elements would coalesce through gravity to form stars and galaxies, and the heavier elements would be synthesized either within stars or during supernovae.

Alternate:Once the child, Zeus, had reached manhood his mother instructed him on how to trick his father to give up his brothers and sisters. Once this was accomplished the children fought a mighty war against their father. After much fighting the younger generation won. With Zeus as their leader, they began to furnish Gaia with life and Uranus with stars.Soon the Earth lacked only two things: man and animals. Zeus summoned his sons Prometheus (fore-thought) and Epimetheus (after-thought). He told them to go to Earth and create men and animals and give them each a gift when he created the earth he made elements 




Pangea
Bryce VanLangen
Mrs.Keehn
                Pangea was the super continent on the planet during the Mesozoic period.  It consisted of all of today’s continents all pushed together on one side of the earth.  It is inevitable that Pangea will form again whether man is there to see it or not.  The continents are still moving.  For example, Hawaii is moving away from the lower 48 at a rate of approximately 2 inches per year.
The climate of Pangea was very different from today’s climate. The temperature on Pangea would swing wildly between seasons.  In the summer the temperature could reach highs of over 150 degrees.  This was due to a super green house effect.  Estimates say that C02 levels were as high as 10 times the levels seen today.  If you could travel back in time to the Mesozoic period, you would see massive plant life and dinosaurs.  At the center of Pangea, it was believed to be a huge dessert with a swinging climate. The general rule of thumb with climate is the farther away you get from the ocean or a large body of water the more of a variation in temperature you get between seasons.  The weather on Pangea would be brutal. Since all the land mass of earth was on one side, storms would be super powered.  Storms gain strength when they travel over the ocean, so with storms traveling over oceans for half the earth, hurricanes would make landfall and destroy everything in their path. Tornadoes would be ten times more powerful from what we see today.
We don’t know much about plate tectonics, but what we do know is that when plates rub together they make earthquakes and volcanoes.  With all the continental plates so close together we can imagine that earthquakes and volcanoes would be a weekly occurrence. Based on where the ring of fire lies today (around the Pacific Ocean), this would be approximately  around the outside of where Pangea was located.  This could mean that volcanoes and earthquakes would be much more frequent on Pangea than of what we see today. Alfred Wenger suggests that the continents were like puzzle pieces  and that the plate tech tonics were constantly in motion this is what I got out of the video.
