Which century will be remembered as more innovative, the 20th or the 21st century? Is there really any more achievements make can create? The 20th century gave way to the airplane, commercialized nuclear energy, space flight, computers, and more. While the 2000s-23 haven’t seen a single “major” invention that revolutionized the world. Has man realized it’s full capability as we reach the Fermi paradox?
21st century will be defined by AI slavery and technology taking over whatever freedoms we had left as human beings. We are slaves to our machines and the more machines we make the more mentally sick society becomes. The only choice left is to stop now or we will enter into a digital hell of our own that God himself will destroy
The 20th century I feel will be considered way more innovative than the 21st. In 1900, most people still rode on horse and buggy, in just 69 years we were walking on the surface of the moon. Even all the major technologies currently being developed are just evolutions of technologies of the 20th century. The computer, the internet, space travel, even the first primitive AIs, are all 20th century technology.
in 1900 most people still rode horse and buggy.
In 1923 most people still rode horse and buggy
The 21st century will be so much more insane. The transformation by computers, internet, smartphones, social media the past 23 years was unlike anything that happened from 1900 to 1923. And we have biotech, space travel, nuclear fusion and AI in the pipeline. 2100 is impossible to imagine.
>The transformation by computers, internet, smartphones, social media the past 23 years was unlike anything that happened from 1900 to 1923.
This is such a dumb thing to say. Like mf planes
Experimental tech that most people didn't have access to. It would take almost until the end of the century until that happened.
We already have biotech capable of producing a vaccine within weeks during covid (inb4 schizo theories). That's at least as impressive. Then we are also on the cusp of affordable space travel. There is no comparison.
Except the clotshot doesn’t work.
We are not on the cusp of affordable space travel lol and and yeah planes were still expiremental during ww1 and 2.
>what is blimps like the hidenburg
How is affordable space travel as in going into the atmosphere for 5 minutes gonna change anything
Because it’s bussin on god
In 2 years Starship will be operational, meaning the cost to get a kg into orbit will have decreased by 3 orders of magnitude in just 20 years. That trend isn't going to just stop.
Flight became commercialized in 1920s and there were model t’s which were mass produced and cheap.
>adoption of cars is somehow a signal of technological progress
found the american
Anon, I don't care about what country you're from, people very likely still drive cars in it.
i dont care about the use of cars, just that the adoption of cars is a stupid metric to measure technological advancement
the century we defeat the israelites once and for all
Here we go with the chud shit
He’s right
I’m israeli. Why do you want ME dead?
20th century will be remembered as the apex of human civilization before being replaced by the superior AI in the 21st century.
I think people will stop caring about centuries as a concept now everything is documented you don't really need them
20th century was good innovation, 21st century innovation is when we flew too close to the soon. 90s were the perfect level of technology and the peak of human civilization.
>the soon
I'm Asian
the 21st century will bring about interesting experiments that might answer a lot of philosophical quandaries regarding man and machine; or the simultaneously atomized and over socialized state of the average man given the tech we have access to.
It will be less materially innovative and more of a post-post industrialized world. we may see parts of the first world begin to isolate themselves and the developing world might not make it above their current QOL.
>might answer a lot of philosophical quandaries regarding man and machine
elaborate
20th century obviously. We went from semi-rural "trad" society to fully industrialized Urban one in less than 50 years. 21th century will not give any major innovations it will be century of stagnation and internal disorder akin to Crisis of Third Century and General Crisis of 17th century. Even AI is more a scarecrow than actual threat to humanity
Progress is dead. It starts in physics where physics students are mostly morons who don't know much besides QFT. For those drones, if there is something incomplete from a theory, then it means there is a new particle somewhere. Those idiots have made up hundreds of particles so far and they are still looking for more. That's the entirety of their intellectual framework. LOL. And btw, the job is shit. HEP is really just computing feynman diagrams to some retarded orders in terms of h_bar. It's just computer stuff and 0% physics.
Since the LHC is the biggest DUD in the history of physics, those morons fear they got exposed. So what did they do? they said they wanted 100 billions this time to build a bigger LHC, and to achieve what? discovering new particles LOL.
It is just putting ones head in the sand at this point
even on a global scope, theoretical physics is pretty much dead. Zero innovation since the discovery of the CMB.
All the atheists crave for a new scientific revival with biology, AI, and biohacking but it wil be an even bigger dud. And even worse, they are even less a science, because the side effects are even more complicated to predict in general, and with respect to the particularities of such and such genetic population.
And people will scream about ethical stuff since testing on living beings will be even more mandatory sooner or later...
Even on the level of the daily life, you can see the scientific decay with videogames. video games coming out today basically look like the games they were releasing on 360 and PS3 ca. 2005-2007 when I was in middle school. Compare a pixelated N64 game from the late 90s with a 1080p HD Xbox 360 game from the mid 2000s and the difference is astonishing.
Compare a 360 game like CoD4 from the mid 2000s with the latest version of the same game 15 years later, and you will find very few differences. If 3D graphics were progressing at the same rate as in the late 90s and early 00s, then we would have photorealistic videogames by now.
Anyway, all of that is meaningless, because videogames graphics are largely irrelevant to science and only have relevance for mindless loq IQ normie conSOOOMers. All I need to do is look at actual math and science research. Math is doing better than physics or chemistry, for example, but the only new areas of math that are highly active are the Langlands Program, and Complex Systems/Chaos/Complex Networks, and even that is kind of loosing steam at this point. It was super trendy in the 70-90s and helped pave the way for stuff like data science, but even progress in those fields is slowing. The most active areas of science today really seem to be biotech, cognitive science, and systems biology. Physics, chemistry, math, etc. are largely stagnant, and are becoming increasingly insular and isolated from one another, and more so for institutional and bureaucratic reasons, and not because this is more scientifically productive or something like that.
