The Death of Science.

Science emerged as a prominent force in the Middle Ages when monks ressurrected the wisdom of the ancient Greeks as translated through the Arabs.  This led to a new coleasance in the scientific method as played out in the debate between the medieval realists and the nominalists.  During the Renaissance, ancient wisdom was ressurected and individuals such as Galileo and Leonardo da Vinci made important scientific discoveries and engineering feats.  Science further developed under Descartes and Pascal who revived ancient mathematical methods and created the modern calculator.  The idea of information technology was discovered at this time with roots in numerology and mysticism.  In the late seventeenth century science witnessed a flourishing in the theories of Newton and Leibniz concerning the laws of mechanics and the creation of the calculus.  In the late nineteenth century, theories of the heat death of the universe, the Darwin theory, and theories of degeneration came to play a prominent role in the history of science.  In the twentieth century, modern science emerged in the philosophy of positivism, mathematics was improved through the Hilbert program, and physics witnessed a revolution in the Einsteinian theory of relativity and the quantum theory.  The twentieth century witnessed a great revival in the science of physics with major physicists being instrumental in splitting the atom and in the creation of the atomic bomb.  Following the Second World War with the decline of the Nazi state and the rise of the Soviet state and communism, physics became even more important and the space program offered new opportunities in the competition between the West and the Soviets.  In the late twentieth century with the decline of communism, information technology became important with the rise of computing (which had been developed since the Second World War) and concepts of physics were replaced by information concepts.  As computers became more powerful, information was seen as a greater frontier that promised to replace science.  Further, the science of biology was developed and social sciences including psychology came to overtake the traditional science of physics.  However, when computers reached their pinnacle even information technologies began to decline (contrary to all true predictions)  and science was replaced by politics.  Thus, we have witnessed the death of science in all true forms and the final culmination of human endeavor in a pathetic pursuit of politics and the increase of ever more useless information. The internet is the last gasp of science and offers little hope for humanity.  Once started by phyicists it has been taken over by the masses who pursue politics on it for little gain.
