The extremely rapid pace of technological development since the late ‘40’s has been notable.
Especially in certain forks of those achievements that were attacked or inexplicably “abandoned”.
Like early fervor in steam engineering gave way to hydrocarbons…early advances in photovoltaics went underground for decades, a fervor in anti-gravity experiments literally went silent overnight, hydro-carbon extension experiments (col-fusion) became anathema the moment they went public, many verified individuals designing engines that run on water were openly attacked/killed.
Scientific achievement in just our lifetimes is a dark-darpa whole of “what can be opted vs what can be co-opted”.
