Technological advancement does not always grow linearly.
Look at the situation today, the US is in a recession, so NASA's budget is much smaller than before.
Just like human history so far, Bungie's humanity's history from the present to the 2500s was probably filled with economic crises and wars as much as it was filled with technological advancement and diplomatic achievement.
What about slip space travel? That's incredibly advanced (and probably impossible in real life =[ ).
Plus, obtaining resources capable of supporting the construction of a interstellar fleet must have been staggering. Humanity would probably have to mine the rocky planets in our solar system before being able to leave it with as much ships as they did.
A giant jump in technology can be seen after the major insurrectionist movement (something involving Space Communists and Space Fascists) was crushed. The Spartan II project began because this was when Earth's colonies (and all their resources) were finally under a stable control of the UNSC.
I hope this helped clear a few things up for this thread. ;]
Theoretically, slipspace is technically possible. Halo describes it as forming micro-black holes in front of the ship using a particle accelorator of sorts. We can create micro black holes today, such as in CERN. We might not be to far away from it tbh.
