Gene augmentation therapy is pretty incredible. How we have the ability to cause changes at the level of DNA and gene expression to help treat diseases like cancer and cystic fibrosis. It's still a work in progress, but how far we've come in this area is astounding to me.

Penicillin. Sure things like electricity and plastics greatly improve our quality of life and make living more comfortable, but the number of lives penicillin has saved makes it invaluable.

Eternal Data Storage:

Everything degrades eventually, and there is no way to store data on one device for truly extended periods of time. But that may no longer be true due to a discovery made by the University of Southampton. Scientists have successfully used nano-structured glass to create a process for recording and retrieving data. The storage device is a small glass disk about the size of an American quarter that can hold 360TB of data and remain intact up to 1,000°C. This means that its average shelf life when held at room temperature would be approximately 13.8 billion years (Roughly the same amount of time the universe has existed).

Data is written on the device using an ultrafast laser via short and intense light pulses. Each file is written in three layers of nanostructured dots that are only 5 micrometers apart. When read, the data is realized in five dimensions: the three dimensional position of the nanostructured dots as well as their size and orientation.

Science is that method. I don't really think you can say the scientific method was used to discover the scientific method.

I'm familiar with causal loops, but they mostly concern time travel. You're going to have to elaborate.

You gotta believe a contender would be the knee brace that allowed former WWE Champion Seth Rollins to compete a few weeks ago at Wrestlemania despite having a torn MCL and pneumonia.

Despite being in absolute agony and the fact that at any other time in history any other man would have been left crippled at home unable to move, modern medical advancements allowed his knee to be supported and protected.

Causing him to be able to face Tripe H in an unsanctioned match that the WWE could not condone due to Rollins' intense injuries.

When science has reached a point that it allowed a human's body to be capable of doing anything the mind wants it to do so long as it is determined enough, then you have to wonder if that is the time all height for scientific advancement in the world today.

I certainally can think of nothing higher.

Science is the body of knowledge that comes from the scientific method. The creation of the scientific method allowed science to be used in the enlightenment and in the 19th centuries to lay the ground work for modern scientific theories.

Science before then was mostly pseudo-science and closely related to bullcrap fields like astrology and alchemy which were considered science magic hybrids in their day.

The discovery of microorganisms.

Kinda bullshit how it happened, since the guy who basically discovered them (Leeuwenhoek) was just a draper who happened to make really powerful microscopes for his business. Wouldn't ever share his microscrope production techniques, so it took like 100 years after his death for microbiology to really take off.

I know science can be defined as a body of knowledge, but that is playing very loose with the definition. Knowledge and science are two different things. You can gather knowledge without practicing science. Science is a very specific way of gathering knowledge.

But pseudo-science isn't science. So that statement is saying "before science there was no science" and we are back to where I started when I said that science didn't discover itself.

Damn, that could make for a pretty incredible time capsule.
