If you eradicate the scientific knowledge from the minds and books of the technologistl?

Question

will they still be able to proceed efficiently and systematically? Why?

Answer 1

Depending upon how far back in time such knowledge would be eradicated, we would be living in caves! We would not have learned to harness fire nor to conceive of the wheel or the other simple machines. Farther into the future, we would live in the Dark Ages, executing heretics who dared to disagree with the dogma of their times. The Inquisition might still flourish; we would be burning witches, executing some criminals by the process of drawing and quartering. We would be dying of plague and having no understanding of hygiene; we would be bleeding the ill and dying; so-called physicians would be operating without antiseptic or anaesthetic. Women would be dying regularly in childbirth and babies frequently in infancy. We would believe that the world was flat and that the earth was the center of the universe. We most likely would never travel more than a few miles from where we were born, and the majority of us would live in poverty... Science is often maligned and denied, but without those who dared to think and to imagine a different world (and who continue to do so), we would certainly not be enjoying this cyber forum!!

Answer 2

If you were to eradicate all knowledge frome everyones brain, like starting from scratch, and eliminate everything people have created, we would all rediscover everything ever discovered in our history.

Answer 3

You can't kill knowledge. You can cut off it's head, but it will just grow another one.
