No, Vinnie. Apparently Dr Whitehead isn't familiar with the steam
railroad.

the Author of Science and the Modern World knew a great deal about science and technolgy


"The possibilities of MODERN TECHNOLOGY were first in practice realized in England by the energy of a properous middle class. Accordingly, the industrial revolution started there. But the Germans explicitly realized the method by which the deeper veins in the mine of science could be reached. In their technological schools and universities progress did not have to wait for the occasional genius or the occasional lucky thought. Their feats of scholarship during the nineteenth century were the admiration of the world. This discipline of knowledge applies beyond technology to pure science, and beyond science to general scholarship. It represents the change from AMATEURISH PROFESSIONALS."

Whitehead, Alfred North

"The period between 1910 and 1926 was mostly spent at University College London and Imperial College London, where he taught and wrote on physics, the philosophy of science, and the theory and practice of education. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society since 1903 and was elected to the British Academy in 1931. In physics, Whitehead articulated a rival doctrine to Einstein's general relativity. His theory of gravitation is now discredited because its predicted variability of the gravitational constant G disagrees with experimental findings.[2] A more lasting work was his Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Natural Knowledge (1919), a pioneering attempt to synthetize the philosophical underpinnings of physics."
