Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time

Hello everyone, I read this interesting article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05543-x) on the decrease of the disruptive impact of science over time. This surprised me at first given the number of startups and predictions that are made about the future. I find that it raises important questions about how we can accelerate progress and innovation. I look forward to your thoughts.
