The Victorian era was the start of the Western “Golden Age” in all areas; i.e. science, technology, economics, politics etc.
The Greeks and Romans of Antiquity created Western Civilization defining the Laws of Geometry and Physics which laid the foundation for Architecture, Astronomy and Civil Engineering.
Further, their achievements in Governance, Literature, Mathematics, Medicine, Philosophy; among other disciplines are even greater.
Victoria lived from 1819-1901, during which period the most notable scientific nostrum was Darwin’s Evolution; as yet an unproven Theory.
Golden Age???. Laughable.
