@Book let me give you an example from real life
:
Physics as a discipline began in the 16th century and progressed steadily. The 1970s marked the culmination of a period of extraordinary progress, with the development of special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Standard Model of particle physics. Since the 1970s, there haven't been fundamental discoveries or new theories on the same scale as relativity or quantum mechanics. That is why people like Einstein and Oppenheimer are still hailed as physics Gods to this day and would mop the floor with many modern day physicists. However a 16th century physicist would think today's physics is magic.
