Yeah, I think people got rubbed the wrong way only from the title. I don't think they bothered to read it. I don't think the article in any way emphasised that Roman concrete is better than modern; rather it talked about findings of certain researchers. It was the chemistry which I found interesting.

This is exactly what I was thinking about!

Will check out Children of Time then.

Interesting ideas..

OK so he has very piercing yellow eyes! Interesting, nevertheless.

This article is about research on self healing properties of Roman concrete. It's not all about a one on one comparison. The chemistry behind the self healing properties is interesting and not definitively established.

This article is literally about doing research to better understand the chemistry behind the self healing properties of Roman concrete to maybe use the findings to improve modern concrete. This is the aspect which I find so interesting : the chemistry. Literally no one is talking about going back to traditional values and blah blah. That's something which I personally abhor. Did you even read the article? Where did you find this in the article? Of course titles of articles tend to be over dramatic.

Well if some research on Roman concrete can help us better understand self healing, won't that be good?
