Spider Silk = very strong
Carbon Nanotube thread = Much stronger
Carbon Nanotube structures = Win (although a little expensive)!

Is it?
possibly, some think it might work like (CNT's not spider silk) asbestos but aren't sure yet.

Yes Carbon Nanotubes are equally as toxic as asbestos although I doubt they're Flammable unlike Spider silk which is insanely flammable
I think some Indian woman's (who holds the world record for strongest hair) hair was (diameter : diameter) stronger than steel (tension). Can we not build stuff from her off cuts ?
Perhaps a huge sprawling nest like object that we can all squirm about in?

Exactly we dont have to build stuff the same way, we can change it to suit spider web. There are loads of spiders who make flat webs so we can easily make roads etc out of it, and it will be renewable unlike tarmack
Make roads out of sticky, flexible, flamable weavings...
Go make your driveway out of it then come back to us with the results, OK?

Air conditioning?
lol I love this forum
It beggars belief sometimes, doesn't it?!
You've got to be trolling, this is hilarious
Boo, you ruined your wind-up by making it too obvious.
Jesus christ is this guy for real?
He is asking why we dont build stuff out of it then telling everyone why we should... Oh My God..
He must be 14 as its clear he is not reading or understanding anything anyone is saying.
Building roads, buildings etc.. out of spiderweb is just stupid, everything would go up in flames if its insanely flammable.
Hell after reading this I might go build some new forks for my bicycle out of spider web then get on my bike and go down a hill at 40mph, wonder if the spidersweb will hold out!!
If spiders web was a good building material then it would be used now.
Spiders can climb along spiders web, but look at the size of one, you see a spiders web go try and hang off it, the stuff will snap.
Its going to be hard to get any amount of spiders web to build anything, you'd need billions of spiders, then when it all goes pu in flames what yo gonna do? Start all over again?
