Has the country of Mexico ever produced a noteworthy scientific advancement in its history?

Answer 1

LOL, that's a joke. They are still trying to figure out how a flush toilet works!

Answer 2

In the biggest joint Mexico-U.S. scientific venture ever, builders are finishing a monster telescope on top of a volcano that will let astronomers look back 13 billion years and uncover secrets about the creation of the universe.
President Vicente Fox and Mexico's scientific community have championed the telescope, the largest of its kind in the world, saying it shows how a developing country can play a major role in cutting-edge technology

Answer 3

What exactly is the point of your question? Alluding to Mexico's intellectual past and present is absolutely irrelevant to the topic, contrary to what your low IQ may lead to you assume.

Go conduct some research if you must validate something.

Answer 4

It is not scientific. But guess what they were smart enough to send their poor over here so the USA can pay for it. Top that one.Not only that they have the audacity to complain about if it is not done right. Read todays news.

I do not support what they do. I am just reporting. I think it is ironically funny.

Answer 5

At the time of its conquest Tenochtitlan was the largest city in the world because the Aztecs had learned to not drink from the same water they used for sewers--a lesson Europeans did not pick up on for a couple hundred years. They had a flourishing agriculture system based on sustainable resources. It was not the Spanish who conquered them, it was the diseases the Spanish brought with them that did.

Answer 6

thankyou jxt299 for the first decent answer...

The rest of you should stop being so bigoted.
please.a one second search of wikipedia gave a large number of mexican scientists.

How about;
Luis Ernesto Miramontes Cárdenas (March 16, 1925, in Tepic, Nayarit – September 13, 2004, in Mexico City) , was a Mexican chemist known as the co-inventor of norethindrone, that was to become the progestin used in one of the first two oral contraceptives.

In 2003, norethindrone was considered one of the most important 17 molecules that have influenced the history of mankind

In 2005, the Mexican Academy of Sciences, denominated the invention of Miramontes as the Mexican most important contribution to world science ever.

Has the country of mexico ever produced a notewothy scientific advancement.. no. Have mexicans.. absolutely.

Answer 7

Have you, personally, ever produced a noteworthy scientific advancement?

But here's one from Mexico: Tequila.

Answer 8

Pyramids. The most accurate calender of seasonal changes in the world. Drugs for fighting Hiv and AIDS....And some killer Tequilla............

Answer 9

There is no need to try to denigrate a country or people. The few people that tried so hard to come up with some Mexico contributions at least have a good heart.

Mexico is such a poor and corrupt country that their emphasis is really on poverty, hunger, drugs and crime, they just dont have the resources for science.

Give them time, .....although......Mexico is older than the USA and had the advantage of access to knowledge, they chose instead
a different course than the USA.

My gut feeling is that Mexicans are as smart as anyone else......so why try to make their country look less ???

What does it really matter to you what they did or did not invent? We have our own problems here at home.

We need to forget about color and religion. Our country is in trouble. Americans come in all shapes colors and sizes, but.......we are Americans. This is what should bond us together against the world. Do you really think any other country gives a damn what happens to America? Heck, they are praying for our death. Lets focus on Americans, of all colors.



Listen........this is America and our country should put Americans first in everything. Immigrants should not have any rights here at all, lets take care of our fellow Americans first. America is NOT the lifeboat for the rest of the world. We dont owe anyone a damn thing except to our veterans.

Other countries dont even allow immigration........there is no real reason we need immigrants anymore. Let the people from other countries build up their own country, dont run away and try to hide in America. America was built at a price of blood.......most immigrants today are cowards in their own country, thats why they try to hide here. Americans are willing to die for our country, but the immigrants obviously would rather let someone else do their fighting and sacrifice for them.

There are PLENTY of Americans ready to work for a decent wage. We dont need immigrants. The H1B visa program is a scam by big business, dont believe for a second they cant find any qualified Americans to take a job.

Its time we took back our country and maybe even changed the form of government we have. We are no longer represented fairly, the representation is for the wealthy and special interests.

The Americans in our country come in all colors and religions. There is no race involved. What IS involved is simple......this is OUR country and we dont want anymore damn immigrants........got it?

People, we built this country and many of us shed blood for our country, we deserve to have a home, secure from foreign invaders. An illegal immigrant is a foreign invader.

America is in a death spiral. We cant carry the weight of every crybaby immigrant that wants into our great country.

We need to put a MORATORIUM on all immigration, until every single American is taken care of first.

AMERICANS FIRST........then..maybe...a few immigrants here and there.

We Americans May be closer than we think..........to that special time...........time to lock and load

Answer 10

Yes. Tequila !
