Throughout thousands of years of history, why has science and technology made a qualitative leap in the last century or two?
Modern industrial civilization seems to have strangled the farming era, and it is very arrogant. In fact, all modern technologies are based entirely on chemical energy. Therefore, there are two preconditions for the exponential growth of modern science and technology: 1. The establishment of modern scientific system; 2. Development and utilization of fossil energy. Others, such as the utilization of electric energy, the establishment of capitalist market economy, modern transportation, globalization and the Internet, are the basic points developed in these two centers. These two premises have really reached maturity, that is, in the past three centuries. It is extremely terrible to think that if a new round of scientific and technological revolution (that is, the new energy revolution replacing fossil energy) does not come, with the exhaustion of energy and the slowdown of mining, the rapid development that ten generations took for granted will come to an abrupt end.
