>>14141177>That's not what supple and demand meansSupply of competent scientists stagnates or falls, then an increase in scientists is required. This affects the amount of research subjects that can plausibly be investigated by what remains, as the resources to do so are stretched thin. It's really not that difficulty to apply it to this situation.
> who says there are fewer people capable of doing research or that there are less scientic discoveries being made in the present day compared to the past?For the former, frankly there's no way to tell as the standards of Universities across the board have completely fallen to pieces.
For the latter, the vast majority of scientific "innovations" based on research papers are either largely fraudulent, or frankly useless.
>here are discoveries being made everyday by an exponentionally larger amount of people in increasingly specific fields moreso than at any time in the past.Largely incorrect, there has been a slow stagnation due to the increasingly complex nature of the research in question, as well as a decline in the abilities of researchers on a systemic level.
