major hinder to science and technology development in nonwestern world is these western powers,they unjustly impose sanctions if you want to progress in science,look at what they are doing to china and russia these days ,technology not remains in similar hand in all times,there will come a time when western world will leave behind others in technology but behavior of civilization whether good or bad will be remembered forever.When Muslims conquered spain they provided scientific knowledge at that time to europeans and not put hurdles in their way which promoted western world to make advancement in science
