Today we know that there are other solar systems only tens of light years away. Had the Golden Age continued unabated, we might by now have sent probes exploring them. We might have landed on the moon in the year 969 instead of 1969. We might have an understanding of space and life that is unimaginable to us today. Instead, events occurred that would delay the progress begun by the Greeks by a millennium.
