Seven wonders

We all know about the seven wonders of the ancient world. Whilst these were certainly marvels there are other marvels that really intrigue and delight me.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a web site for people to post their seven wonders for a long time now. I’ve just never got round to it. The site would be for people to list seven things that really inspire, delight or intrigue them. They would have to outline the workings of the items, not just provide a list, so that others could gather some details of why they are included.

My seven are listed below. In this soapbox entry I’m going to break my own rule and just give the list. I’ll flesh it out later either here or on the web page if I ever get round to it. My seven wonders, in no particular order, are –

• Chemical bonding
• Plate Tectonics
• Music
• Aerodynamics of a cricket ball
• Mitochondria
• Books
• Star and planetary system formation
