    It took till this year for scientists to have the idea to use mri to track brainchanges in pregnancy.

    Just imagine how many super basic observations we must be lacking.

    Scientific thought is ancient but we barely scratched the surface in pretty much every field.

      Took til past couple years to get funding for it. About 75-90% of scientific proposals to the NIH are not funded.

      ignoring the elephant in the room that the study of anyone other than non white males is rare, people don’t talk about the obvious. We don’t write it down.

      Gravity took FOREVER before someone went “wait why?” and there’s tons of stuff we don’t even think about, like the ‘new shape’ that people just didn’t think to talk about because it’s just so simple

        There’s plenty of studies on white males.

    I was born in the dark ages. Before 2014, we used to think the world was flat and didn’t think about climate change.

    It’s stairs we didn’t have before 2014. Everyone just used ladders.

      Luckily builders would set aside space in buildings just in case someone had an idea for how to move between floors without a ladder. Made retrofitting stairs a breeze. You can’t even tell that they were added later most of the time.
