A theme of Dwapara Yuga is the breaking down of barriers of space:1775 First military sub - David Bushnell
1884 First skyscraper - William Le Baron Jenney
1903 Heavier than air flight - Wright Brothers
1942 V2 Rocket - Werner von Braun
1943 Scuba- Jacques-Yves Cousteau
1943 Maunsell Sea Forts - Guy Maunsell
The Maunsell sea forts gave rise to today's oil rigs and perhaps in line with their Dwapara Yuga significance gave rise to pirate radios, rivaling government controlled airwaves in Europe, and one of the first modern micronations, Sealand, mocking the authorities of larger nations with its pomp of flag, passports and currency.
Surprisingly, very little has publicly spun off from the Gulf Wars I and II, although long term it may be perceived as the IT war with so much computer controlled gadgetry being brought into play to lower casualties. Hopefully we wont be building Skynet ;)
