War's Legacy: Science and Modern Innovation

World War II was basically a giant science experiment that accidentally built the modern

world. It wasn't just about soldiers on the ground; it was about nerds in labs turning

the tide. You had radar spotting planes in the dark and mathematicians using data analysis

to figure out exactly how to win battles. We even figured out how to mass-produce penicillin,

turning deadly infections into minor inconveniences. But the wildest part is that when the war ended,

those massive factories and research networks didn't stop. They just pivoted. The same systems

that built tanks created the consumer economy and the tech-driven life you live today.
