I agree, Latin is very beautiful, logical and all in all a wonderful language (currently listening to some Latin songs ^^ Hymni Nocturnales at the moment),
But it takes a lot of practising and long years of study to be able to speak it, unlike for example English with its nearly non-existing grammar -
the advantage of Esperanto is that the words are easy to remember [for those with an indoeuropean mothertongue], the grammar is simple, logical, without exceptions.
This planned-ness kinda gives it a mathematical "aura", everything is a little too logical to be alive
It's, hm, flawless
Lol,
A funny language?
Why that? I think it's pretty interesting
All being the work of just one man
I voted yes on this one, but i think that the universal language is the elements and atomic structure. Elements are pretty much the only thing that is a constant to everyone worldwide, they cant be changed, so are always the same.
Music and art are very definitely not, however they communicate (generally) in a non-verbal way at least. The problem is, that in itself is no guarantee.
I think the most incredible displays of universal communication are right under our noses.
I was watching Chili Peppers concerts on TV and no matter where they went people were singing the lyrics.
Music is beyond amazing.
It's strange, some people spend a LONG time trying to learn languages yet give them a cd that they learn to love and they'll learn the lyrics in no time.
"Yes, I think so. Even a dead person speakes through their wounds."
Do you mean using DNA to find out about ancestors and the like? I'd say that's just gathering of information from things that represent our heritage and genetic personificaton. It's not really communicating. Any answer isn't achieveable when you consider if the answer if obtainable anyway. To quote Adam West of Family Guy:
Gender: Male Location: My Mind's Eye...
In Canada.
In a matter of speaking, yes you can. Frosenics can determine everything about a dead person by an autopsy: sex, living habits, food eaten, blood type... the list is endless. With further examination in more detail, they can even learn the state of their brain and how it was used: if one side of the lobe was used more often than another. If the person was more logical or creative.
DNA can be used to determine a person's heirtage and evolution. Though no one has actually done this to my knowledge. But it can be done.
