However, I most certainly do not believe a race that took 100+ years to put a trigger on a gun and 300+ years to invent the 2nd generation, gun; muzzle rifle; 300+ years to invent a pendulum clock from the mechanical clock; 100+ years to put the steam engine to use; 100+ years to invent a radioset; 30+ years to refine a vacuum tube; would take only 50/60 years to invent a 3nm by 4nm nanocomputer from a 30 feet by 40 feet computer.
Well skip a 1000 years of human history when the Dark Ages took hold of everything science and deemed it evil and unreligious and start at the time when sciences started to take off as accepted fact. Besides technology builds upon itself. Once the technology is known of something, others look at it and try to inprove it. At some point the technology starts to help find answer for other things. We didn't just start with the vacuum tube thinking of a computer, but folks started to notice their properties and thought back to past computorial work. Soon we had vacuum tube computers...and they did a lot for us. But they were bulky. So how to slim it down? Knowing how the computer worked now made it easier to figure out a solution...building on past work. Soon computers were being used to improve on other things. Computer modeling helps speed research of many things immensely...from space travel to medicine. It's a natural progression of science as soon as we let science help our lives instead of shunning it. No crackpot theories or alien supergovernments from Pluto required.
Even if there was Alien intervention, it's doubtful, you would know, it may even be doubtful, that they would know. The ET technologies are not blatantly just inserted into public scientific labs - they are "seeded"
Now I know why you have that nickname. :m:
