Hello /sci/

Simple question, i am looking for the scientific name for a social effect.

The effect i have in mind is where a society/city/civilization is so far ahead in a certain field at one point in history that it refuses to go with the times when other societies begin to overtake them in said field

I know there is a given name for this effect, but i cant think of it/i forgot. Anyone?

It's called the Doppler Effect, discovered by Professor Doppler in 1919. With him were Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei. Galilei was, at first, a French policeman, but was involved in an airplane accident which showed his extrordinaire as an engineer.

You mean like Newtonian Britain became far more advanced in physics than any other nation in the world up to a point that they became dogmatic and didn't accept any alternative theories?

Pride in work. So it has something to do with an inferiority complex.
