It's only between 1920 and 1960 that you would have been literally blown away by scientific progress, first as we split the atom then fused it.
That you're impressed by the stamp collecting that science has become since then says a lot more about you than the state of scientific progress.
The commenter was talking about biology and you are talking about physics. Just because your view of one field stagnates doesn't mean the rest of science doesn't, and your quip about stamp collecting (referring to that sneering quote) means you are thinking in memes and are not a serious interlocutor
