Lack of technological progress in late Roman Empire
#88
Hello Bach.
If possible I would be curious to know from you how you think it is possible to accomplish any "...understanding of complex physical processes, not necessarily in theory, but in practice."
The invention of the steam engine was less obvious than what you succeeded in making Theodosius think! It wasn't only due to technological limitations, and lack of social/economic inducements (quoting Theo's summarizing thoughts).

By the way I feel this thread should be in OFF TOPIC.
