Here’s a big factor that I don’t think anybody has mentioned yet. The invention of the printing press in 1440 by Johannes Gutenberg. Prior to the Gutenberg printing press, books had to be made by copying the whole thing by hand. This made books extremely expensive and hard to access.
After the printing press a scientist could read about the work done by the people who came before them and build on it.
