What do you call declaring something is legitimate without bias for a study that you can't seem to show me any evidence of it's existence? I'm jumping to conclusions? If you can't give me any sort of information that I can check, don't you think it's legitimate to question whether you know for a fact this study was done properly? Hence why anyone can write a paper and call it a study. Ever watch the movie Fargo? Right when the movie starts it says "Based on a true story." It was completely a lie. The directors were making fun how they can claim anything they want because there's nothing that says they can't do that. Whether you believe or not your study is making a gross generalization regardless if it was done legitimately. Because we know they did not follow are large group of people all over the world, and it would have to over 2000, for an extended period of time, checking off compassionate and sympathetic acts. And again I ask what acts of compassion and sympathy are they talking about? Is it only on animals? Then I can see how they can come up with that conclusion. But then that would mean Hilter was a compassionate and sympathetic man. Let's ignore everything else because that's what the study would be saying.



The only author with that name I've come up with writes fiction books. That's not a good sign if it's the same person. Just remember Linda McCartney and her book.

Well I provided you the link so good luck with it. And again I have stated it's not conclusive and can't be applied to every individual.

Can somebody explain to me why can't we create an international garbage disposal system where we take all of our non-biodegradable wastes (things that don't decompose for thousands of years) and dump them in active volcanoes? We can send all those waste off to major collection outposts that are based at uninhabited major active volcanic islands, which then will either truck them off to the lava pits either by road, helo? Some people say it's too dangerous to get too close, so why don't we use an artillery-type of system where they fire the garbage into the lava pits at safe distances? All of that still seems to beat polluting our environment with non-degradable garbage, and also minimal direct man-made environmental impact, not to mention it is very cost-effective and energy efficient in the long run. Those active volcanoes are going to be around for centuries anyway releasing toxic fumes and clouds.

The only active volcano that I can think of is on Hawaii. I do not believe that the Hawaiian’s would be very please to see super tanker sized vessels parking off of the coast of the large island and ferrying in boast loads of garbage.

I like the idea though.

A suspension bridge tower that is actually a building.
the bridge is held by a suspended structure anchored to a outer exoskeleton. From a off ramp one drives into the tower which is contained and mated into the footprint. The building would be built like the hotel in Dubai. With its own water treatment at the base. The upper levels would include a helipad and small garden area. The opening arches where cars pass through would include wind turbines augment the power supply.

I imagine seven towers built on a artificial island built on a number of steel reinforced column that go to bed rock. At the lowest levels there is the base with a water treatment facility that supplies all the drinking and sewage water in the building as well as building utilities like heat. Atop this we find the parking garage which is mated to the mainland via two pedestrian bridges and to the car bridges via a set of off and on ramps. It is at this point that the tower splinter four are structured to suspend the two main and pedestrian bridges three make up the skyscrapers. The outer most and inner most towers are a complex of office and commercial space. The outer buildings would offer excellent views along the outer sides well the inner would be used for elevator and stairways. All three would be limited in views across the bridges but above those levels would be mated through the structural anchor towers to each other. Suspended above the bridge a set of wind turbines would use the aerodynamics of the building and the air kicked up by the bridge to generate power. Mass dampeners placed in the structural and inhabited towers would control swaying. The uppermost levels of the three habitat towers would mate to one structure and have a green roof garden and Helipads.
evacuation of the buildings in emergency would be through the pedestrian bridges

additionally a monorail might be a option or tidal power generation using the current of water around the bridge.

That is great idea! The only thing is that the project has to be economically viable. Bridges and waste water treatment facilities tend to be expensive. All of the costs would need to be added to determine the cost per square metre of selleble realestate. Real eastate developers want to make profit. However, given the amount of wealth in Dubai, there are probable many rich individuals that would want to live in an exclusive postal code.

I mentioned Dubai as a example but I originally thought of it for any super city that could want a new bridge and a new building like say Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, San Francisco, ecta. It would be quite expensive no doubt but think of all the unused space in any major bridge. the Piers are as big as skyscrapers but empty.

True, but think of the extra load requires to support another structure just for living conditions, not to mention all the plumbing, electricity, and mechanical systems as well. It can be done, use the tower as passive solar and wind energy collection for the inhabits and the roads on the bridge to collect rain water for showering and toilet flushing.

True, I never said it was totally practical but then again one should never dream small.
The water and power generation capacity's are definitive needs for any municipality. as are those of vertical real estate. And We don't call this the Practical idea's Thread now do we?

Here are a few ideas from designers and architects who already thought about it.

Would there be lots of wobbling fun if there is an earthquake?

Not much more than any other building on reclamated soil.
