Even if there is no absolute limit to what can be learned, we necessarily pick all the low-hanging fruit first. Major discovers that substantially alter daily life happen will happen less frequently the longer we're at it. Also, society might stop investing in research while anti-science culture is dominant. We're getting a little taste of that now. | |
| Nov 29, 2019 at 0:22 | comment | added | Halfthawed | It's because Star Wars is actually a fantasy setting cleverly disguised as science fiction, and technology is fantasy is never allowed to progress far enough to change the status quo, except in the cases of extreme evil and/or extreme good. It's also worth noting that the most powerful weapons in Star Wars are the ancient Rakatta weapons. cough ancient advanced civilization is a fantasy trope cough | |

| Nov 28, 2019 at 11:36 | comment | added | Starfish Prime | Notably, they haven't made any sort of superhuman AI or molecular nanotechnology. No personal deflector shields. No lasers. No point defenses that actually provide point defense. Genetically engineered soldiers capable of shooting straight. The list goes on... | |

| Nov 28, 2019 at 10:32 | comment | added | IloneSP | I don't think there's such a thing as "discovering all science". You'd need to have mapped the entire universe and catalogued all the planets, stars, and everything that's inside. And since the universe is, in theory, infinite... That's not possible. | |
| Nov 28, 2019 at 10:27 | comment | added | ksbes | You are a bit wrong: there is a technological and scientific progess in SW: from orbital fortresses to StarKiller (and this is only one example - ther are more). And they have one poorly explored field of nature: The Force. What is magic for one people is a science chalenge to others! (Think of DarkTroopers) | |
