  • Time to get from nothing to the moon?

    Heres an interesting hypothetical question.

    Say you have just a man and a woman (each about 25 years old). The Earth is how it was about 5,000 years ago (before advanced civilizations). These two people are the only two humans on earth and their are no other people or civilizations. There are, however, other animals. How long would it take this man and woman to send a manned spacecraft to the moon. Im talking about these two using their resources (an earth full of resources) to make tools and more and more tools until they can make a manned spacecraft. This would probably take many generations of people to get to that level of technology.

    The way that these two people know how to do this is that they are allowed 24 hours to study (in todays world with internet and stuff) how to make a spacecraft and all the technology necessary. They will understand that that reaching the moon is the primary goal of the civilization that they will create is to get to the moon (assuming they dont accomplish it in their lifetimes).

    So the actual question here is how long would it take until their civilization had a person set foot on the moon.

  • Adobe Camera Raw changes won't show up in finder.?

    I edit a photo in camera raw via bridge. Then I go into finder and view the picture. All of the changes are gone. There are no exposure changes, no crops, nothing!

    If I go back into bridge I see the photo with the changes.

    What is going on?

    If I email the photos to friends who don't have photoshop, they won't see all the changes I made in camera raw.

    Please Help

    Thankyou

  • 4th Dimension -not time-?

    What is the 4 th dimension

    Like the thing with adding to the 3rd dimension is what I want.

    I don't want "time" as an answer.

    Time is required for dimensions to exist but it is not one of them.

    Length and width do not require depth to exist

    Don't give me Albert einstins general relativity.
