Could it be possible to build 10-storey homes with just sand and carbonised plant fibers—no steel, no cement?
MSE already does it in bridge abutments.Can it be adapted in housing industry? It would be cheaper, greener. Proven?

Aliens might build physics on different assumptions and might come up with a different view. Reality wouldn’t change. Only our understanding would.

Graphics vs gameplay in videogames?
I lean towards gameplay. Most SNES/ps1 era rpgs are still fun today even when graphics are dated. I also believe that pixel art is timeless. There are many modern pixelated games that stand out. Undertale comes to mind, animal well is another.
