After a golden age, a period of decline or stagnation is often thought to follow. This period is sometimes referred to as a «silver age» or «dark age,» when advances or progress are slow or come to a halt. This is often due to a variety of factors, such as economic downturn, political unrest, or a lack of innovation. Following a silver age, there may be a period of rebuilding, new ideas, and growth, resulting in a new golden age.
