Lost in Math
What does this mean for the future of science and technology?<p>I find it fascinating that so much interesting physics has been discovered in the last century -- for example I only recently found out the neutron essentially a post WWI era discovery [1].  And yet so little fundamental physics has come by in the last 30 years.<p>Now that there is no more increase in microstructure knowledge of the universe, will the other sciences and then technology follow in this stoppage?<p>Arguably the Internet followed from computers which followed from transistors which followed from fundamental physical theory of atoms and electrons from less than 150 years ago.<p>Will the lack of new physics cascade down, or is there enough "stuff" between physics and technology that tech can keep on going.<p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_the_neutron" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_the_neutron</a>
