Yup, but we don't have the cure for cancer yet. (Not all of them anyway...) |

Somehow I doubt that things like The Manhattan Project are what they are looking for.
But the Manhattan Project represents one of the most important discoveries/inventions of the modern world: Nuclear power.
Almost as important as germ theory and the penicillin. |

The Human Genome Project (and the Genographic Project too, I suppose) get my vote. Together with the Internet, the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, the Descent of Man and The Lord of the Rings.
Pity none of them are on the list... it is somewhat limited, I think. The Hagia Sophia and the Great Wall warrant mention more than the others, in my opinion. |
