Abstract

The article offers information on scientific revolution. The author is perplexed by the fact that the scientific revelation took place in Europe and not in China which he considered more ready for such changes. He also noted that all countries adopt technologies which came from Europe or North America. These include steel frame buildings, airplanes, automobiles, scientific agriculture, and factories. The rise of superculture has eventually caused the progress of the human race, and its rise followed the emergence of science. However, the rise of superculture created great increase in the inequality of world incomes.
