Szilard knew Wells very closely and definitely read Wells work which talks about atom bombs dictating the world order in the fifties.

The correct analogy is about how long you go from someone imagining a flying machine where the wings don’t move to an actual plane. They called it “warp drive” for heavens sake.
Also comparing the lack of progress today to the lack of progress in medieval times is not the flex you think it is.
