Imagine if Aristotle had been like, "Let's actually TEST whether heavier objects fall faster" instead of just declaring it from his armchair! We'd be zooming around in flying cars by now! Those Greek thinkers were brilliant but skipped the whole "prove it" step that makes science... you know... actually work. 2600 years of technological head start? We'd have colonized three galaxies and cured death by Thursday! Instead, we had to wait for Galileo to drop balls off towers and go "huh, look at that" before science really took off. The ultimate "what could have been" timeline!
