Exactly! Technology in the Stone Age is such a cool concept too.

[@blasttrash]

@@MothGirlHina Checkout anime called Gate: Japan military goes to fictional world where they have magic but only medieval weapons and the kings in that world are all surprised by modern machines like cars, guns etc. Zipang: A more serious story similar to Gate. A modern japanese navy ship gets transported to 1942 during world war 2 and well gets caught in politics between US and Japan. Both US and Japan soldiers are surprised by the knowledge and weapons these modern humans possess. For the most part, it stays within realms of reality, no magic nothing of that crap. Of course the weapons and stuff might not be realistic but they seemed fine to me since I am not into military etc.

Dr. Stone is one of the few shows where it legit gives me goosebumps. The show uses science to a great extent to portray an apocalypse that lasted for millenniums, each discovery to what or who caused the petrification leads to more questions. Legit one of the best animes (storywise, theme, soundtrack) to have been released.

I think it's safe to say since the manga ended, MatPat's theory on this is technically right

[@HPMCCPooTis]

To a degree, yes. Those who haven't read the manga's ending yet, *SPOILER WARNING* MatPat mentioned here that it's an AI that was responsible for the stonification of humanity in Dr. Stone. Throughout the story, it shows the source of the 'green light' we call the Medusa. It somewhat resembles a ring, but it has an irregular shape. Shortly after its introduction, it was shown that a number of those had fallen onto an island from the sky, all lit green turning every island inhabitant into stone, and the source of that transmission was from the moon, of all places. Later on, upon reaching the moon, they find the one place "Why Man" was hiding. But it was in fact a whole colony of Medusas, that were discovered to actually be a techno-organic parasite species. While they behave in perfect sync with each other, they're not really connected to a hive mind because they decide on things for themselves. To sum it up, yes. Mat was right to an extent that some extraterrestrial entity was responsible for humanity's downfall.

Slight manga spoiler here buuuuuuuut... - - - - dash - - - To make a ship to sail to the source of the petrification, Senku needs oil. To find oil he makes a hot air balloon to find an oil field in Japan. While looking for oil they find goats and whole fields of wheat that's growing wildly. So they bring enough back to start farming wheat to make bread as a good food that'll last for months on end on the ship while traveling the earth. So yes, Senku does indeed invent air superiority before farming.
