Look up "Steampunk" on Google Image Search.
I wasn't as impressed by this as I thought I'd be. There was some very neat stuff there, but I was still slightly dissapointed for some reason.

The Large Hadron Collider by CERN.


Isn't it just an awe-inspiring high-tech nightmare?
That picture looks like it's from a level in Mirror's Edge.

Anyway, I would have to say language. Seriously, what's more awesome than being literate?

Printing those medical books ahs saved arguably more.
(Looks across at his Clinical Medicine textbook, which has a total of 1508 pages in it). You have a good point there.

It can be anything, a building, invention, weapon, car... whatever you like.

I shall begin with Gaudi's Sagrada Familia:



It's like Lord of the Rings made a baby with Oblivion.
They haven't finished building that yet. Till they have, I'm sorry but it's this:

Very cool.. what is that?

Scarily so. It's like five or six Mirror's Edge levels mixed up together in all thier primary coloured prettiness.

1) the LHC (but someon ninja'd that)

Its the Dubai Spire. That's appearently what it will look like when its done; but the recession hurt it a little; so here's it now:

The stuff that came out of cern too, such as the internet and where most of the modern day particle physics was born too, but these are not so much historical acheivements, as they are cultural ones.
