We are in the age of science. Before 0 B.C. was the age of kings. Take your pick: Alexander the Great, Julius Cesaer, Hannibal, Cersus. They had the most dominant effects on the human race, but I feel democracy has some what put a limit on the power of leaders today.
From 1 A.D. to 1000 A.D. was the age of religion. Christ and Mohammed were the most dominant in this era. However, freedom of religion in many countries has put something of a break on religion being the dominant form in its affect on humans.
We are now in the age of science: 1000 AD to present. The most dominant people being Isaac Newton and Einstein, but there are many others.
With the first two groups, we still have leaders and religions, but society has been able to put limits on them so they do run amock. But how do we put a check on science? Each nation must push its science as hard as it can to keep up with the next nation. I could do without the atomic bomb. How do we control science?
