5 SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES THAT HAVE REVOLVED HUMANITY

The twentieth century has been an authentic revolution in many areas, but the scientist
is the one that has changed the most over the years. We have already spoken to you on
another occasion of the great scientific discoveries of recent years, but here we want to
highlight the advances that have been made, aimed at a better quality of life. Without
them, the world today would be very different. It must be pointed out that all scientific
advances, despite having a positive side, can be used in the opposite way to do evil.

THE ANTIBIOTICS
Alexander Fleming is well known to everyone interested in science. In 1928, this Scot
discovered penicillin, an antibiotic that saved the lives of millions of people to this day.
From here, began an investigation that has not stopped, producing drugs that help our
body fight diseases.

THE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Although we are used to them, and we do not contemplate a world without their
comforts, the appliances carry very little between us. For thousands of years, the human
being has been able to live without them, but the change that the Industrial Revolution
brought us to the future. Now we can cook without the need for a fire, or even store the
food for longer without risking it getting bad.

THE SPACE CONQUEST

I already said Stephen Hawking: "the future of humanity is in space." The space race
that began between the United States and Russia was the starting signal, never better
said, of the man. The Earth is small, and we are curious to know what is out there. The
space is an immense unknown, but little by little they are solving questions and
considering new ones. This advance would not be understood without the invention of
airplanes and everything that has helped the human being to conquer the sky.

THE MEDIA
Today's society is known as the information society. Have you heard the term
globalization? It is what perfectly defines the changes we have experienced, and
everything has been thanks to communications. The distances of the world have been
shortened thanks to radio, television and internet. We can know what happens in
another part of the world without having to move.

THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY

It is difficult to explain and understand, but it is the great change that points us the way
forward. The theoretical formula of Albert Einstein laid the foundations of modern
physics, being able to investigate in many other fields. Looking to the future, the theory
of relativity will be the engine of the next changes, which will mean a turn in the history
of humanity.
