3. The Three Gorges Dam - China
The three gorges dam is 2km long and 60stories tall, it takes over 40,000 workers and 17years to build. When it fully comes online, this one dam will produce over 20,000MW of electricity.

Before they can start the construction of the dam, the river has to be diverted and the Chinese government has to relocate millions of people the flooded river will displace.

The river is also a major water line for cargo and passenger ships and in constructing the river means the water way will be obstructed for these ships. So the engineers have to come with enormous solutions.

1. They created a series of lock gates for the cargo ship where the compartment will be flooded with water and lift the ships up stage by stage until to the last compartment at the other side of the river...this method can take up to 4-5hrs which is too slow for the passenger ship.
2. For the passenger ship, a giant lift like an elevator was constructed that will lift both the compartment, water and the ship to the other side of the river within 30mins.

2. Smart Tunnel Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur is one of the busiest city in Malaysia but every year mother nature threatening to bring it to its knees, drive out with storms, ranging rivers and massive flood and the solution is brief, constructing a single giant road and water tunnel right under the city itself. When rivers jump their banks the tunnel road decks will be able to transform into flood channel to carry the ranger water under the city streets, leaving the country billion economy hanging untouched above.

The tunnel was divided into three Modes
Mode I (ground floor): Was installed with a rail tracks for high speed rail
Mode II (first floor) & Mode III (Second floor): For Road deck or high ways.

Whenever the city traffic begins to build up, Mode II & mode III will be opened to ease the traffic above.

Also, whenever the rivers jump their banks, Mode I will be closed allow the ranging water flow, if the flood keeps increasing Mode II & Mode III will be opened in this way, the road decks are transformed into a flood channel.

A simple definition of a Megastructure will be like this: "a massive construction or structure, especially a complex of many buildings." Which is true!

But having watched documentary of various Megastructure around the world, I understand that most major Megastructures were basically constructed to solve critical problem facing by people or can threaten the area economy.

Then many questions begin to ring in my mind...
1. Why are there no Megastructure in Nigeria?
2. Does it mean, there are no challenge people are facing that requires Megastructure?
3. Is it that our leaders are so insensitive to the plight of people for them not realize that there are challenges people are facing?
4. Or does our economy wasn't facing any Megastructure deficiencies?

Meanwhile, achieving these Megastructures didn't come cheap nevertheless government will go extra miles to ensure they achieve it.

Examples of Megastructure around the world that shows government sensitivity towards state economy and concerns for her citizens.

1. Hongkong International Airport
The old Hongkong international airport was at the heart of the city and the city is a home for high rise building. As the city continues to be crowded and jam-packed, increasing the airport traffic, this calls for a serious concern about the safety of the city as a single aircraft failure can result to loss of lives and bringing down the high-rise building.

The government calls for a new airport not just ordinary but a world class one but there's no land to spare. So they turn to the sea about 20km away from the city by turning two tiny islands into one after moving more than 500 millions tonnes of earth.

So this airport was built on artificial island and spare the city from danger, and to link the airport to the city, two amazing engineering feats:

a) By constructing the first double-decker suspended bridge
b) By constructing under water highway.

I'm right there and not following what's going on there on twitter. Tell me what have you been fed with to make you draw your conclusions considering you said you are not a politician

Fed with.....

lol @ internet social media governor with no vision, no wonder ipobs love him...

You're the only one I've ever come across that'll say Gov Makinde is without vision.

I don't do politics but Gov Makinde is the only politician I follow on twitter in Nigeria.

If you understand what is called governance then you'll see that only Gov Makinde is the one who is actually bringing out real governance in Nigeria.

Darkness surrounds a spherical earth because spaces itself is black.

You can tell that to your 1year old kid.

Space is black because light needs to reflect on something before it gets to your eyes to see it.

The lie you've been sold to

Are you then saying since space is black then space is EMPTY?

So the only things you see are those that reflect the sun's lights. If nothing is reflected then you only see pitch blackness.

Is space empty?
The same scientists say space is not empty....how come all the particles can't create reflection?

The same thing with heat, the sun's rays create heat only when it hits something. If the sun's rays does not hit anything, then the sun's rays travel in almost absolute zero space. This explains why the higher you go the colder it becomes. The sun's rays hit the Earth's surface and heats it up, so the atmosphere is getting most of its heat from the ground and not directly from the sun's rays. The only exceptions are gasses in the outermost later of the atmosphere that gets heated directly by the sun's rays.

Out of it....

At least I'm happy you could see the lies of darkness around the supposed spherical earth when the supposed called huge Sun could dwarf.

We were told that earth's creates DARKNESS at the back that doesn't face the sun.

But how come DARKNESS always surrounded the supposed spherical earth?

Pls how do I get to the address stated here from lugbe

Go to Berger from there find your way to Bannex, Parakou Crescent is close to Omega plaza along Aminu Kano.

I so much like this article titled Gravity: It's only a theory!

By National Center for Science Education published July 30, 2010

https://ncse.ngo/gravity-its-only-theory

The beginning of the article read "All physics textbook should include this warning label:

This textbook contains material on Gravity. Universal Gravity is a theory, not a fact, regarding the natural law of attraction. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."

Nasha48:
Please is this real and how do I get to this location from Nyanya Axis??

From Nyanya enter Area 1, alert at Apo Under bridge. From there enter cab to Gudu. You can find your way.

I don't really know much about that area, I'd have known if it's too hidden or open.

But as usual, inform your relatives you're going out, tell them about the area, and on getting there be vigilant and study the environment very well.

Arrive there on time and take your time to study movement in and out of the building.

Best of luck!

To a layman, gravity is that force that pulls down every object with mass towards to earth surface.

Ok

Is it the word "gravity" the bone of contention or the force itself (which existence can't be denied) that pulls down every object.. I want to know.

The bone of contention here, is how this force behaves mysteriously.

wirinet:
It has to do with the velocity of the object falling due to gravity. If the object is projected beyond the Earth's escape velocity in a direction opposite that of gravity, then it will escape the Earth's direct pull and gravity will make it orbit instead at a distance in proportion to the velocity.

If the plane travels faster than 11km/s, it will escape the earth. If the engine is then switched off, it will continue to orbit the earth perpetually.

Check the diagram below for better explanation. If Vo is more than 11.2km/s the projectile will enter into orbit instead of falling to the ground.
It is still earth's gravity that will keep it in earth's orbit.

It's just so unfortunate that you never factor every point on my post before you vomited this.

The point is, if the plane lost engine power above earth's atmosphere which is called SPACE, will it fall to the ground or wandering around?

Better put, if there was a space travel to the Moon and in few miles to the Moon, tragedy struck suddenly and all the so called astronauts found themselves in outer space, is gravity going to pull them to the ground (earth's surface from the height) or make them wandering around?

The butterfly wings offers air resistance against gravity. The force of the air from the radiator fan sucking the flies, is greater than gravity of the earth. Remember, the flies have wings and low mass, that helps counteracts the effect of gravity. If you substitute the flies with the same volume of lead, the fan will not be able to suck it.

I gave up after reading this brainwashed thing you wrote @bold&underlined

wirinet:
The plane that has lost its engine has nothing to exert an equal and opposite force, so it's in a free fall (weightless) until it hits the ground.

This is where the lies of gravity is exposed which you're too blind to see....

Did you realize that if the same thing happened in the so called SPACE, the plane won't fall to earth's surface rather it will be floating aimlessly around the earth like in a orbit.

The plane falls to the ground because force of gravity is pulling the plane downwards with an acceleration of 9.81m/s/s.
Floating is not the same thing as weightlessness. The plane is free falling, but objects in the plane falling at the same rate with the plane will seem to float in reference to the plane.

Isn't the same force of gravity that allows moon to stay in its orbit?

Why didn't the moon fall to the ground?

The moon too is free falling on the earth, that's why it is orbiting the earth. The same thing as satellites above the Earth's surface.

You claim both plane and moon are in free fall yet one fall to the ground and the other one is in orbit, then I asked, does gravity work in a mysterious ways?

Why can't gravity put the same plane in orbit rather than falling to the ground?

As I said, the person falling in a falling plane's chamber is falling with the plane according to gravity from the reference plane of an observer outside the plane, but from the reference frame of the plane, the person is stationary (or floating )



You legs leave the ground the moment you jump of a cliff and free fall to the earth.

Why was moon free fall has to be in orbit and my own free fall has to land me on the ground?

Immediately I jumped off the cliff, why can't this mysterious gravity put me in orbit rather than pulling me to the ground?

And I asked a question which you stylishly boycotted the other time,

Why would gigantic gravity allow ordinary butterfly to fly when gravity is so strong at earth's surface and ordinary Car radiator fan will suck in any flies around it?

wirinet:
You are so ignorant and confused that I don't know where to start educating you. It's amazing that in this era of information age, some people choose to remain ignorant.

You're just describing yourself here....

Gravity is a force that manifest in acceleration, which means per second increase in velocity. The earth pulls all objects to it with an acceleration of 9.81 per second. It means you speed will increase by 9.81m per second, every second. Now, when you are standing on the ground, you stand still because the ground exerts an equal and opposite force.

Look @underlined to see how you failed to reason with my post, yet ranting for nothing.

If gravity pulls everything to earth's surface and because I'm standing on the ground, the ground is exerting equal force, what of an airplane that lost the engine power in midair?

Why must the plane fall to the ground?

Isn't this plane supposed to be floating as a result of weightlessness due to the same gravity?

In space there is no ground to exert an equal and opposite force so you fall perpetually (free fall).

The fall was it not floating around the earth like moon does or falling to earth surface? Which one....

Study this video, maybe you will begin to have an idea of what gravity is, instead of talking jibberish.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO_Ox_dH0M8

Someone is floating around in a chamber, isn't gravity supposed to pull her to earth's surface?

The moment I jump off a cliff, were my legs on ground? Yet gravity pulled me to earth's surface.

wickedtuna:
is it gravity or because anything denser than air falls to the ground.

Answer me first

Perfectbeing:
We can argue with everything except the truth. The truth always have a way of proving itself. I can come on board and argue against gravity and probably even win a debate in my argument. I can bring all the logic and reason to prove the non-existence of gravity. But when I jump off a cliff, it is then the truth will prove itself on whether gravity do exist or not..

To you in a lay man's view, what is gravity?

No-one says Jumping off a cliff won't land you on earth's surface even badly....but the point is, is it gravity or something else?

wirinet:
Please explain how one can circumnavigate a flat surface. When you circumnavigate to go in a straight line until you arrive at your point of departure.

Yet you're asking to grab elementary physics or geography book....

Why can't you do your research about it?

Is that so? I asked is this CGI conspiracy being perpetuated by all governments on earth, all universities and all scientists?

Google is your friend bro....
Yet you said earlier that you don't know that people still believe in flat earth in this 21st century, whereas, a 21st century pikin still believes all the images he has seen are real image SMH

Besides, you did not answer the question on how you can watch a live program from 6,000 miles away.

You didn't ask me any question...

What are you yapping about? What do you mean by without GRAVITY? Are you now saying your flat earth hypothesis operates without gravity?

Gravity is a scam.....

Had it been you use your common sense you would have known that.

Who told you no gravity in space? Space itself is the creator of gravity. Gravity permeates space and time.

Did you aware that no gravity in space has later been change to Microgravity?

Another aspect is, they say "the farther you are from earth the less gravitational force you experience"....which means earth gravity is very strong close to surface, yet the same weak or absolute zero gravity holds the MOON in earth orbit. How can you reconcile that

If gravity is so strong to hold everything on earth surface, why would ordinary butterfly be able to to fly in the presence of gravity when ordinary Car radiator fan will suck in any flies around it?

Please grab an elementary physic or even geography text book, so you can understand some basic terms.

The same elementary books you're brainwashed with.

Weightlessness simply means you cannot feel your weight. You become weightless if you fall down from a plane or even a lift. A better term is free fall.

At what point you won't feel your weight?

Isn't gravity occurred all over the earth even extended to moon?

Why should I jump up and fall on ground or an airplane at some attitude loosing engine power will straightly fall to the ground, yet all of a sudden, I won't feel my weight at a certain point? Is gravity works in mysterious ways

wirinet:
Flat earth in the 21st century? After Megallan had circumnavigated the earth more than 500 years ago,

Circumnavigation can also be achieved on a flat earth model.

satellites are beaming radio signals from the other side of the globe allowing you see pictures in real time, and millions of pictures of earth from probes sent from earth.

This is a pure lie....

No single ORIGINAL image of earth from space by any satellite....any image you see in this 21st century is still CGI, then ask yourself why?

I still can't believe any one that has gotten past primary school still believes the earth is flat.

The reason you still believe in spherical earth is because you refuse to apply common sense.

The greatest support idea for spherical earth is GRAVITY because they know that without GRAVITY the whole idea of spherical earth will shatter.

Now, why do they still talk about NO GRAVITY IN SPACE when the same Earth gravity HOLDS the moon in its orbit and the same sun Gravity passes across earth to hold other planets in their orbits?

Should there have been anything like WEIGHTLESSNESS at all, if gravity cut across the solar system

I don't be liking this "we" as theres no "we" in it. Some are trapped on a spinning ball, some on a flat earth and some in a triangle, perhaps, and some are not trapped at all.

So,i recently gained admission to study engineering,chemical engineering precisely.



So my question goes those who studied engineering and those still studying,

Do you have any regrets studying engineering?

Even if I get to Heaven I'll still be an Engineer....

Maximus69:
I think Seun (as an atheist) missed the road in quoting Jesus' word for the OP who wants people to JOIN HER IN PRAYER AGAINST some people!

I'm sure he wanted to quote Luke 6:27-31

27-37 would've been perfect

Seun:
It goes against Matthew’s Jesus’ teaching on prayer. Instead of praying in private he is spamming his prayer on a public forum. However, it doesn’t matter because other Bible verses that contradict the one above can be used to justify this thread. My bad.

You against Jesus Christ and His word is obvious but using that to address what doesn't relate is out of it.

The OP says people should join him in prayer NOT PEOPLE SHOULD COME TOGETHER ON NAIRALAND to pray

Haba don't let your hatred beclouded your reasoning faculty Oga Seun

Seun:
Matthew 6:5-6

The Op says you should join her....
Now how does this relate to the OP?

See the way you're talking about these scholars as if you regard them or their work when you're only using them as bare face to defend your lies.

Janosky:
Do you, BlueAgent understand Greek or Hebrew language more than renowned Bible Scholars Westcott and Hort and numerous Trinitarian Bible scholars who rejected your claim of Psalms 45:6?

Hypocrite JWs!
So you belief there are actually RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS...

1. So why did you take the unscholarlly NWT over the RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS?

2. Who among the translator of NWT is more understanding in Greek or Hebrew more than these RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS?

3. What is the position of these RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS on verse like John 1:1, Colossians 1:15-18, Colossians 2:9 Rev 3:14 e.t.c

These Trinity believers they proved that linguistically and with strong biblical Evidences (1 Chro29:23. 28:5. Luke 1:31-33. Rev3:21. Psalms 93:2) "Thy throne is God's throne" or "God is your throne " is the AUTHENTIC rendition.

If you take them to be right here, why did you reject their other works of the scriptureHypocrite...

That's why I do say JWs are very hypocritical in nature...

@2)
BlueAgent,what do Trinitarian Bible scholars stand to gain by their rejection of "Thy throne O God" & ACCEPTANCE of "Thy throne is God's throne" or "God is your throne " ?

What do you Janosky stand to gain by accepting only this from these Trinitarians yet rejected other numerous works of the scripture from these same RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS

if not because you choose to accept whatever favour you from them and discard what doesn't favour just as you and your evil organisation do to the scripture.

Hypocrite JWs

That's how your evil organisation was busy using Scholar Metzger as a cover up not until he came out to shut them down and even have to write about errors in your demonic NWT.

Only a demonic person will ask this "Do you, BlueAgent understand Greek or Hebrew language more than renowned Bible Scholars Westcott and Hort and numerous Trinitarian Bible scholars"

When he himself follows and put his entire salvation in the hands of men (GB) who couldn't match these RENOWNED BIBLE SCHOLARS in Greek or Hebrew....

Let's turn the question around:
Do you, Janosky or anyone among the GB understand Greek or Hebrew language more than renowned Bible Scholars Westcott and Hort and numerous Trinitarian Bible scholars?
