Technological advancements in the 18th and 19th centuries had similar effects on the social behavior of people and shaped international relationships and security alliances.

For Homo sapiens, progress and modernization follow a linear track, which means the knowledge and techniques upon which the pillars of progress stand, by the very nature, must continue to evolve. The Sun as the center of the Universe, seen by Copernicus and confirmed by Galileo, was a new observation that transformed the way the Universe had been viewed initially, and laid new, groundbreaking foundations used by successive pupils of science. Nonetheless, it cannot be argued that the observation of Galileo or Copernicus alone, in isolation, developed successive achievements in the field of astronomy, since new knowledge, albeit drawn from the studies of the two revered figures, developed over the course of centuries, which helped man to create new technologies that were put into use in society.

As people with scientific taste hailed the discovery of Copernicus and Galileo, the governors of human affairs, with their overzealous commitment to the ecclesiastical beliefs, condemned the men for committing heresy, exposing how challenges posed by scientific advancements are inexorably linked to changes in societies; the new day technology is a double-edged sword, on one hand, providing people with efficiency, and on the other hand, emboldening them to take such measures which could disrupt not only the individual life, but also strains the society as a whole.
