Science and technology is the aggregation of a civilization's empirical knowledge and its practical applications. Most of the societies of the Superpowers timeline are ahead of OTL in its regard. Medicine for diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer exists; manned missions have been sent to the farthest reachest of the solar system; manufacturing is done on an atomic scale and weapons vary in precision from needle-thin lasers to continent-leveling nuclear bombs. However, the presence of these technologies alone does not distinguish this World's level of advancement. It is their ubiquity that sets It apart from other timelines.

| - Science and technology is the aggregation of a civilization's empirical knowledge and its practical applications. Most of the societies of the Superpowers timeline are ahead of OTL in its regard. Medicine for diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer exists; manned missions have been sent to the farthest reachest of the solar system; manufacturing is done on an atomic scale and weapons vary in precision from needle-thin lasers to continent-leveling nuclear bombs. However, the presence of these technologies alone does not distinguish this World's level of advancement. It is their ubiquity that sets It apart from other timelines. A state's attitude toward the sciences can shape its scientific and technological development. Certain countries excel in particular fields. The Inca developed unbelievable medicines and the Maya formulate materials for virtually any desired purpose. Meanwhile, the Roman Empire stands above the rest in its masteries of mechanics, astrophysics, quantum physics and nanotechnology. Other states are tailing on the development of the more technological countries and are at a more understandable level of technology. Devices of the likes of jet engines, synchotrons, antibiotics and radio are available to various degrees in every country. This article summarizes the most important technological and scientific advancements of the Superpowers world. Some concepts may be beyond a basic level of understanding of the subject matter. Quarks, electromagnetic induction, gamma radiation and the like are complex topics in themselves and their application to new technologies does not simplify matters. Ideally, the explanations will match the knowledge of most readers.
