I think that the wizard world is far less advanced than the Muggle
world.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of "what would happen if I did
this?" thinking in the wizarding world and that question is behind
many scientific and technical advances.

Actually, the curriculum at Hogwards reminds me of PG Wodehouse's
school stories where the boys study the classics and don't have much
to do with maths or hard sciences.
