you should look into mandelbrot set, julia sets and other fractals.
Or quantum mechanics on superstrings, D-branes, P-branes, the 10th dimension as well as compact dimensions.
Or perhaps how the standard economic theory fails to optimize gain in situations such as the prisoner's dilemma, and how the nash equilibrium is not always optimal.

Agriculture is very intresting. It was what made the Egyptians so great. Egypt lies in a desert as we all, hopefully, know. It a fine source of water flowing through it, the Nile, it's one of the longest rivers and it is one of the very few that actually flow through a desert. Eyptians used irrigation from the Ocean and the Nile to their farms. At just about Alexander the Great's Time, Egypt was basically a giant farm. It is described from drawing and writings of that time. Alexander described it like that too. All the money he used for his campaigns were from alexandria an extremly rich city that had many "exotic" crops, at that time, so many of the the Greeks bought. Eqypt also had lots of Food to survive the constant droughts.
a thoght just occord to me if aggraculture played such a big role in devlpoing civalization. what role did local climat play in shapeing the lives and belifes of the people who lived in it?
take for example the people living in tropical climate reagons. their social structures apper to me to be based on male domanace, patrichiole (srry sp) sociaties where women are second class. while people who settled the harsher climets of the world realized early in there own development that all people need to be equal and need to pull their own weight in sociaty.
stop and correct me if i'm wrong
but it appers to me that the harsher the living conditions, the more equal and democratic the social structure was. conversly easy climets led to sloth, greed and oppression.
i dont think i'm making sence. i dont normaly when i "think out loud" anyway
Well, if you want one, of many answers to that question, read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, which analyzes how geographic luck determined which civilizations rose to power, and how the Europeans were able to conquer most of the known world, in one way (directly) or another (controlling all trade [Opium War ring a bell?])
