trying to understand deep history from times and places where the way things played out wasn't documented. So it's really hard to say. And the other thing is, we believe that those less efficient versions of the wheel, for example, the grooved roller, which was kind of the first innovation, those things wouldn't have lasted very long because they were solid efficient.

And as a result, these intermediate versions technologische Schritte, oft nicht in den archäologischen Rekord bringen. Denn um Dinge für Tausende von Jahren zu überleben, ich meine, statistisch gesprochen, müssen es viele sein. Und also... Because we don't have artifacts of those intermediate technologies, it's very hard to say.

I suspect, though, that those intermediate technologies wouldn't have lasted very long. I would place it on the order of maybe a few decades, just because they were so inefficient. And in fact, biology, right, and biology of living things evolves exponentially. Often in a similar way, so it's referred to as punctuated evolution.

Species will undergo rapid transformations over a small number of generations until they reach some optimal or stable design. And then that design perseveres. für viele Jahrhunderte, Jahrhunderte oder vielleicht sogar Millionen von Jahren, im Fall einer Art Spezies.

Und deshalb glauben wir, dass das Wheel Set eines dieser lokal optimalen Designs ist, das überlebt und wir haben es heute noch für diese Grundlage. Die mittleren Schritte, weil sie suboptimal waren, haben nicht sehr lange gedauert. Und deshalb ist es sehr schwer, eine akkurate Bildung zu bekommen, wie lange sie vorhanden wären.

So I have a couple ideas in mind. This type of work is really just one part of my portfolio. So I still work on more conventional aerospace engineering problems like optimal design of electric aircraft and that type of thing but as far as my forays into ancient history i would like to see if we can use these tools to understand other seminal technologies like for example the bow and arrow

Which is another really fundamental mechanical invention that somewhat unlike the wheel hops up in many different places and is discovered by many disparate civilizations that had no contact with each other. In that sense, to me, the bow and arrow kind of represents... like the wheel and underline fundamental truth about our physical environment.

So I think it's just really cool that these different civilizations all kind of came up with the same idea. And so it would be interesting to use physics and computational engineering to get a sense of why. And then also I think my next project will be a little bit closer to home. I want to look at the invention of the airplane. Und das ist anders, weil wir reden von 120 Jahren her.
