Why has there been no breakthrough in science since the death of Einstein's generation?

Looking back at the history of our scientific development in the last hundred years, have you found a phenomenon?

Since the death of Albert Einstein, the great man of this generation seems to be in the last a hundred years, the development of our science at a particularly slow pace.

Now the slow pace of scientific development and the rapid development of society is seemingly out of place, why in this period will form such a big contrast?

Before the 17th century, the physical sciences were in a completely fumbling state in the society of that time.

Although there were some faint stars, such as the exploration of the physical world by Kepler and Galileo, the future of the physical world still seemed to be in a state of confusion.

People at the time were still predominantly believers in theology.

There was no consideration that humans could dominate the universe and that humans could understand it.

But since the emergence of Newton, whose classical mechanics completely broke the traditional perception of human beings, human beings did not think that they could still understand so much.

An apple fell from a tree, and at any point in time, it was possible to calculate where the apple was and the speed of the apple at that time.

So Newton was also put on the altar of people at that time.

It was from that time that man realized that he could master his nature. It was only after Newton that the world of physics developed by leaps and bounds.

It was not until the 19th century that the real golden age of physics was ushered in.

In that period. Many scientists have made new scientific discoveries that overturned people's perceptions.

The most famous of them are the two theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics that we mentioned before.

However, since the death of the scientists represented by Einstein, it seems that our science has come to a standstill.

Here is a photo of the 1927 Xavier meeting, in which many of the biggest names in science, including Crieff, Schrödinger, Dirac, Bohr, Einstein, etc., are shown.

Seventeen of the 27 scientists had won the Nobel Prize.

So it is not too much to say that the era in which they lived was called the golden age of physics.

You should have heard of these physicists in your secondary school physics textbooks.

There are many laws and formulas named after them.

However, after the death of these scientists in the photo, there seems to be no great progress in our science until now, what is the reason?

Is it really because our descendants are not as smart as those who came before them?

Let's take a brief look at the important historical process of scientific development.

Einstein predicted the existence of black holes, gravitational waves, and wormholes based on the General Theory of Relativity.

But it took scientists today about five years to take a high-resolution picture of a black hole.

The first photo of a black hole was published on April 10, 2019, as we mentioned earlier.

It took almost a century to learn just a little bit about gravitational waves.

In 2017 the Large Laser Interferometer Observatory claimed that they had picked up gravitational waves from pulsating binary stars.

The understanding of wormholes is in a state of fantasy, and even now, whenever we mention the topic of wormholes in the comments section we often see comments like this.

Some people think that wormholes do not exist. Some even think that Einstein proposed wormholes, which is a hoax.

If we evaluate it from a rational and objective point of view, we have no way to confirm it, and certainly, no way to falsify it, so naturally we cannot treat the hypothetical theory that Einstein once proposed with the attitude of a hoax.

Quantum mechanics is science on par with general relativity and has been called the greatest natural science of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The existence of many subatomic particles was predicted in the Standard Model of particle physics.

These scientists, who came up later, spent a lot of manpower as well as financial resources to find these results.

The Large Hadron Collider in Europe is no stranger.

As we have mentioned before, more than 80 countries, more than seven thousand engineers, and up to tens of billions of dollars of assets were spent. Using a 17km acceleration pipeline, they claimed to be able to create black holes.

But what was the result? They don't seem to have made any substantial scientific discoveries.

When we look back at the history of scientific development over the past hundred years, it seems that scientists within a century have only made minor modifications to the theories of the older generation of scientists a century ago, and have not made any major discoveries.

If we reflect carefully on the problems of the scientific community itself, perhaps the most fundamental reason is because of the pattern of the scientific community.

There is an unwritten rule in the scientific community that does not seem to allow wild imaginations to emerge.

If a person comes up with a hypothetical theory, but the hypothetical theory is not understood by the scientific community. This would be followed by ridicule from other scientific minds.

If the person who proposes this theory has no title and does not belong to the scientific community of talent, then it is likely that no one will even take care of it.

Therefore, this title and the restriction of the imagination that forbids the wilderness is what led to the scientific community never being able to get out of this bottleneck.

We are looking back at the older generation of scientists, such as Einstein and other scientists.

Einstein made many great discoveries back then, but he was just a small clerk in the patent office, and he did not go through the relevant experiments to verify.

Let's take his hypothesis of a black hole to start with. Wasn't it also not until April 10, 2019, that it was first photographed by humans?

So would we still say that the wormhole proposed by Einstein is a hoax?

A pie-in-the-sky imagination may be a prerequisite for a great theory.

In a field that does not even have imagined, where is the scientific experimental proof at a later stage? How can a person who is not open to others' suggestions improve himself?
