Technology and Scientific Ideas.
==========
The technological problems have great influence on scientific ideas.
For example:
a) in Maxwell's time, technology was mechanical and therefore
Maxwell explained his EM theory using mechanical toys:
balls, hooks, springs . . . etc.
b) in the last years of the19 century many physicists were busy with
problem of simultaneous measurement of time.
Therefore Einstein's SRT was begun with this simultaneous problem,
and this way ( until today) lead to many speculations about SRT.
( one train / rocket - other train / rocket )
c) in the time where the big bang was entered in cosmology scientists
were amazed by great nuclear forces therefore using high pressure / density
( which was created by gravity masses - the weakest in nature)
they invented big bang which says nothing about
where did masses come from
( big bang created singularity, singularity created big bang )
This theory is from the Alice's Wonderland.
