What are the three most important scientific and technological discoveries that have shaped human history?Auto-translated
In my opinion, the internal combustion engine is essential because without it, neither transportation nor the internet would be possible, as the internet is a means of information exchange.
1. I agree with the previous speaker.
2. We wouldn't have invented electricity (and, consequently, computers) if we hadn't had the concept of force. Newton's laws are what fundamentally changed human thinking, opening up new horizons that were inaccessible to followers of Aristotle.
3. The discovery of electrical force. Thanks to it, a science such as chemistry was substantiated, and it became possible to predict new chemical reactions. Electricity also received an explanation (initially, it was represented as the movement of some kind of fluid, if I'm not mistaken). Moreover, this is the first, most important step towards understanding the structure of matter, and therefore semiconductors (although this is not enough, some understanding of quantum physics is needed, but still), and therefore computers.
That's how I see it.
Actually, the greatest discovery is nuclear physics. Without it, there would be no hydrogen bomb.
Added 2 minutes later And without the hydrogen bomb, progress would have stopped altogether.
Смысла нет, но вы держитесь там. Удачи, здоровья, хорошего настроения! И пока в кармане пачка милкиуэйев - значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день
1. Contraceptives. Otherwise, explosive population growth will destroy the ecological balance and lead to wars and famine. 2. Space exploration. No advanced civilization will deign to communicate with individuals who can't even build decent colonies on the planets of their star system or send manned spacecraft beyond the farthest planet in their star system. Of course, instead of continuing manned spaceflights, Earthlings are bombing other Earthlings and seizing peninsulas from other Earthlings. So, it will be a long time before we make contact. 3. Cloning. It's true that the "downies" banned it after successful experiments. The madness on the planet "Dirt" continues, and all advanced civilizations are laughing at the idiocy of the inhabitants of this planet. But there were successful experiments... And how great it would be if every man who wanted to could have a clone of Miss Universe as a companion... But no! The oligarchs keep these "misses" for themselves and don't want to share them with ordinary workers!
Wouldn't it be great if every man could have a clone of Miss Universe as a girlfriend... But no! The oligarchs keep these Misses for themselves and don't want to share them with ordinary workers!
Even greater quotes from even greater forum users.

That's exactly why communism is the best socio-political system.
Where do we go? Where do we end up when we save the world?
