    Ashurbanipal demanded that his vassals send him new books. One of his letters was found at Nineveh, written to the governor of Borsippa, asking for old texts, & specifying what he wanted: rituals, water control, spells to keep a person safe in battle, & how to purify villages.

    The strange thing about the scientific method and physics is that as we measure more and more things there are fewer new things left to measure to prove new theories right
