In the 20th century we were said to have gained more knowledge than in all of previous recorded history combined. So, in 100 years, more we gained the equivalent of the amount we gained in all recorded history, which is seen as anywhere from 550 to 7000 years. (3500BC to 5000BC). There will come a time in the 21st century where will we will be able to say once again that prior to the beginning of the 21st century we have gained as much knowledge as all recorded history, that is, all prior to the 21st century. But this moment won't come in 2100. It will come sooner. And each period thereafter where humanity can make the same claim will come in a smaller and smaller amount of time.
