| | | By far, like parsecs x light years, the most important invention of all time was mobile Cyberspace by Irwin Jacobs and team.
The reason it's so vastly stupendous is that it has leveraged snd is replacing the wet little kilogram of defective protoplasm lurking in our skulls, which can barely remember, reacts at the speed of water, lasts just a few decades, can't do maths and can barely count, when it does sort of think it gawps at women and is looking for something to eat, or wants to go full chimp and fight other chimpoids. Half the time (according to Internet statistics and Geoffrey Toobin), it sits around masturbating.
Mobile Cyberspace has trillions of sensors and lenses for all variables and events, doesn't forget, has unlimited capacity, works at the speed of light, can already out-think anyone at specific intellectual things like chess and go, can discuss things in simple ways and pretty soon will pass a Turing Test. And It has barely got warmed up and switched on.
We need to go back to the invention of DNA a billion years ago to get something comparable. But DNA has taken too long and look at the measly result though it's good at flying, smelling, running, looking, hearing and doing chemistry.
The invention of the four forces of the Cosmos was maybe as good as that got it all going and everything else is a subset of that invention.
Or something else altogether.
