I have this overwhelming feeling that real science is deliberately being stifled:
>world wars and few decades after - one groundbreaking discovery after another soon followed by revolutionary engineering applications of newly discovered physics
>50 years following - slow incremental developments with barely any impact on regular people lives

I feel the exact same, only I dont think it's being "deliberately" stifled in any way. I think that technology has altered our brains to make them less capable of producing new results. There was a clear inverse correlation between IQ and tv when it first came out, and now imagine what computers/phones are doing to us.

That's weird.
I also had this thought that maybe computers distracted people form doing science in the classical sense - state hypothesis/run experiment/draw conclusions - and instead made them focus on collecting as much data as possible counting on the solution presenting itself out of it.
