One thesis is that it takes exponentially more resources to maintain a linear growth in tech over time. When there’s not enough resource to push progress, growth slows down. Look at the particle accelerators. It costed a tremendous amount of money to build leading to the discovery of all the exotic particles. The next version costs many times of the past ones. It just takes a lot of resource to move forward.
