Specifically, he says the key period was 1900-1930.

I guess something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_scientific_discove... can be helpful, but I think none of the discoveries in the last 30 years are quite as world-changing as general relativity, atoms, quantum physics, or galaxies.

Plate tectonics is a candidate to go on that list, and it was controversial until good undersea maps were available circa 1970. That is 50 years ago, not 30.
