Science takes decades, but there are many places where we could have more amazing things if we spent 10 times as much on applied R&D and manufacturing. It wouldn't happen overnight, but it will be transformative if people can get access to much more automated R&D. We've seen a proliferation in makers over the last few decades as access to information is easier, and with better tools individuals will be able to do even more. My point being that even if Science ends today, we still have a lot more engineering we can benefit from.
