Its the bricks
In some sections of the Great Wall, they used bricks that are an engineering marvel. They are much stronger than any building material invented until this century.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent.

Then one morning, Thomas Alva Edison walks into his lab, hands a sketch of a machine to one of his assistants and tells him to build it.
"What'll it do??" asked the aid.
"It will talk back," replied Edison. And so the phonograph was born.
