another extraordinary Norwegian athlete

[renaissance12]

I don't really understand your point but Norway has more running athletic records than italy, why does old houses come into the subject?

The question: Do you think Norwegians are some kind of inferior people who arent good at sports?

My answer: Culturally speaking their culture background is 10 timese inferior to Italian cultural background.

I didn't talk about hair color, genetic inferiority...... just about culture.

What about the industrial revolution? Before that you can hardly say England was insignificant.

I said: England was insignificant before NEWTON....

Anyway industrial revolution is nothing compare to electrical revoluion that occured with VOLTA..


Industrial revolution only occured when there was/is a cheap energy source available.

No carbon ? No industrial revolution

THE COAL GAS AND OIL FOR STEAM ENGINE..( and electricity)

NUKE ELECTRICITY.. SUN POWER..WATER AND DAMS..( FOR ELECTRICITY )

Pumps and valves that worked with steam were well known by the ancient Romans.

Ancient roman ( and before Greeks ) engineers recognized that steam could be used as a sort of power source.

In Italy 2000 years ago… there were no woods to guarantee enough wood to feed steam steam pumps and valves.

The few remaining woods were used to supply wood for the fireplaces in the houses for heating and cooking.

In Italy there is a lack of natural resources such as coal, iron, oil, various minerals, gas..

Italy 90-80 years ago..

No trees up the hills and mountains



Same place today
