Advancing knowledge
Human beliefs once indoctrinated in our youth are stronger than steel. They do not bend or break. Take religious beliefs. Religious beliefs taught to a youth, are with us the rest of our lives and influence the choices we make. Just look at the Christian community of the United States and how these beliefs transcend to daily living and more importantly foreign policy.
The Middle East and their religious beliefs and how this interacts with their daily lives and international policies. Beliefs once learned and adopted are impossible to bend.
Not just religious beliefs, but academic knowledge of well known theories, when taught at a young impressionable age becomes doctrine. Young teenage students leaving home and entering University are extremely impressionable and are the first to accept, new and exciting beliefs.
In the settings and surrounding of this new University life they are quick to believe, such theories as Einsteins equation of General Relativity, which includes Gravity Waves and Orbital decay as part of the equation, which neither have been detected in the Solar System. Einstein's curved space theory becomes easily accepted, but cannot be demonstrated in nature, as the planets in the Solar system orbit the Sun on a flat plane and show no sign of curved space. The theories of Big Bang and Dark Matter are quickly taught as facts and not as they should be as just another theory.

There is nothing wrong with having theories, after all; how does scientific knowledge advance without someone taking academic chances. Theories are necessary in the thinking process.
The problem arise when theories are taught as fact.This then has the opposite effect and actually limits the advancement of knowledge.
This can only be more highlighted by the findings by the University of Northern Carolina.
* More Soft Dinosaur Tissue, Now from an "80 Million" Year Old Hadrosaur: Consistent with the expectations of biblical creationists, according to Nat'l Geographic, there's yet another discovery of soft tissue in a dinosaur, this time, a hadrosaur, with soft blood vessels, connective tissue, and blood cell protein amino acid chains partially sequenced at Harvard University. This allegedly 80-million year-old non-fossilized duck-billed dinosaur tissue was discovered by a team led by researchers at North Carolina State University. Harvard, et al., wanted to get some soft dinosaur tissue so they put together a team and just went out and found some. Consider all the potential soft tissue, and perhaps even DNA, lost to humanity because of secular universities ignoring previous claims by young-earth creationists due to the false evolutionary timescale which so biased paleontologists that they would never even look for non-decomposed original biological tissue inside of dinosaur bones.
Nobody is denying that Dinosaurs existed and that they are now extinct. The question is when did they go extinct.
The fact that soft tissue has been found really puts in question whether Dinosaurs went extinct 65 to 70 million years ago.
The possibility of soft tissue still existing after nearly 100 million years is NOT believable. Many more examples of soft tissue from dinosaurs have recently been discovered.
There is more evidence that Dinosaurs did not go extinct 70 million years ago.
There is numerous cave drawing of Dinosaurs and these drawing are NOT 75 million years old. In fact they are not 100 thousand years old, but more like less than 10 thousand years old..
Numerous figurines through out the world show distinctly that dinosaurs existed on earth and were drawn and formed into figurines by ancient man that were on earth 10 thousand years ago.
If numerous facts, point to Dinosaurs living on earth 10 thousand years ago and were not extinct 70 million years ago as understood and believed, then why does not the scientific community not accept these finding and change their beliefs?
They cannot.
Once beliefs are learned they become steel; they do not bend or break. Anthropologist have spent their entire careers preaching their doctrine. They are not to be doubted, so instead of having interest in finding the "truth of Human History" they will take whatever measures necessary to disavow and discredit all those that may suggest that the finding in Northern Carolina are true..
That is the measure of advancing knowledge.....it becomes extremely difficult simply by the nature of man.
Their beliefs become their doctrine and their doctrine becomes dogma.
Advancements or Improvements
The great advancements in human history occurred shortly after the turn of the 1900 hundreds, with some of the worlds greatest inventions and discoveries occurring during the Second World War. Mankind literally went from horse and buggy to rockets and jets in a matter of 50 years. This period was truly was the age of of enlightenment.
The gasoline and diesel engines were developed during this time and still in use today. The consumer use of electricity was introduced with the exclusive help of Tesla and powers our world today. The telephone, radio, radar and sonar were all founded early for today's world of consumer and military products. Two Germans and a Swede discovered nuclear fission in 1938 and soon after an atomic bomb was used in war, and saw the beginning study of nuclear physics.BMW and Messerschmidt developed the first production jet aircraft with the use of swept wing technology during WW2. A great German scientist developed the first mass produced rocket that later in America would put a man on the moon. Messerschmidt developed a rocket powered jet, the Comet, that nearly broke the sound bearer during the war, and could have if the German's had the time to develop it further. Even technologies that are considered new as in superconductivity were discovered early in the 1900's. The development of plastics and the field of organic chemistry along with their numerous organic reactions were discovered years ago.
No other period in history can match this short 50 year period. Science was born in this short time frame.
What does all this say in relation to modern post WW2 discoveries?
There has been some notable consumer product improvements, computers using circuit boards instead of tubes, phones are now carried as hand held devices instead of a phone on a desk at home, dishwasher and clothes washers have automatic cycles, and there are numerous more antibiotics now than in WW2, but all these are just improvements not great discoveries.
If all the discoveries in man's history were given a predetermine value of importance, starting in the horse and buggy era of 1900 to our modern world today it would only be a value of ONE.
If mankind is to discover and colonize the Universe a discovery value of 1000 will be required.
Man's knowledge cannot be stuck in a dogma of religious views and academic egos.
Knowledge has often stalled in the past as it has now. A sailor on one of Columbus's ships discovering the new world would have been well at home on a naval ship in America's war against King George in their war of independence.
A theoretical physics professor was once asked. "What's new in physics", his reply. "Since Einstein nothing really".
The Universe cannot be discovered and visited with existing technology. A new age of discovery is needed.
