What are the poster children of Dwapara Yuga right at the turning point around 1900?The most obvious one is the following quote attributed to Charles H. Duell of the US patent office in 1899:
"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Unfortunately, it is an urban legend, Duell never said it and on the contrary had great faith in the well spring of inventiveness yet to come.
The author's top 5 in the timeline are:
1901 - Marconi radioing from England to Canada
1901 - Freud's first publication
1903 - First powered flight by Wright Brothers
1905 - Einstein's special theory of relativity
1905 - Amundsen opening up the northwest passage after 500 years of man's attempting it
