The nature of scientific progress isn’t linear so it’s entirely possible that progress is slowing down. I’m not sure how you’d quantify scientific progress though. If you’ve not read Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, I highly recommend it because it lays out how science progresses. If you think about it, most of our current technology stems from late 19th Century and early/mid 20th Century science. There are exceptions and different disciplines experience revolutions perhaps at different rates. I don’t know much about biological science but CRISPR comes to mind in that regard.
