There's a line in Pandora's Box, in Expanded Universe, that makes the
point that "the age of Science has not yet opened" -- that's a
paraphrase from memory, but I think pretty close.
Was that line, and Heinlein's commentary about the fourth curve, in
the first version of this work, published in the 1950s? I'm
particularly interested because Gordon Moore, who formulated Moore's
Law (a fairly technical prediction about chip density) generally gets
credited with making this broad point about the way in which
technology accelerates -- and I suspect Heinlein (and possibly others,
but at least Heinlein) said so before Moore did, and much more
clearly.
