#selfhealing

Interesting article about Roman #concrete and why it lasts so long. 2000 years. It was never reinforced but it was self-healing. Cracks would fix themselves. Reinforced concrete used these days only lasts 50 years. All our infrastructure needs to be redone because they used shitty building methods.

ScienceAlert · We Finally Know Why Ancient Roman Concrete Was Able to Last Thousands of YearsThe ancient Romans were masters of building and engineering, perhaps most famously represented by the aqueducts.

What are Dreams made of
Could I buy it at the store
A storm called Life hit hard
I don't recognize mine anymore

How much does it cost
How much will I need
To mend a broken Dream
At least they do not bleed

Could I call an Estimator
My Dreams were not insured
I wonder if there's a DIY video
So I can be more self-assured

Could I see a Dream Doctor
Or a Mechanic might make sense
Since Dreams can break or die
Mine had no self defense

I don't think they're all made equal
Mine were so easy to break
But I look around and see some
That could endure earthquakes

When I go to the store I'll ask
How to make mine tough
That's the thing about Life
It always plays too rough
