i think poeple seriously misjudge fire. it turns matter into energy, in the forms of heat and light. and releases matter from it's matterist bonds (matter is frozen energy). fire is therefore the cave man equivilent of nuccluer energy. the oldest known matter to ebergy conversion known to man. not only a caveman banging flint stones together, but man realizing that matter can be converted into its orginal state of energy.


cheers

sorry, silly post. please ignore.

I would argue that fire was only used to turn matter in to heat and light in the early days, and was not a very good source of useful energy. Wind and water power was used to produce useful (non heat/light) energy earlier than fire was. Wind and water mills were used long before the steam engine was invented.

Spung

Its only misjudged because of the way humans have used it, killing, clearing forest and so on.

Fire is excellent. It's pretty fascinating too; if you think about it, it does all the things that a thing must do to be alive, and yet it isn't considered a living thing.

haha.
I remember we were on a skiing holiday in Grindelwald (like that Harry potter dude!) or Klosters.
I was annoyed cause there was no tv. We had a fire going.
i was maybe 10 or 11.
My dad said: a fire is more interesting than tv.
I found it to be true. AT the time. I saw all these figures danicng in ti and my face burned with theheat.
And I was fascinated.
Its still nice to look into a fire.
But generally, Id prefer tv.

Was Lanzorote effected by the recents bush fires, JRR?
