Here's why:
* Modern is a relative term that describes something belonging to or characteristic of the present or recent times. There isn't really a "more modern" or "most modern" because something is either modern or not.
* To express a higher degree of modernity, we often use other words or phrases:
* More contemporary
* More up-to-date
* The most recent
* The latest
For example, instead of saying "This is the most modern building," you might say "This is the most recent building" or "This is the most contemporary building."
