Abstract
The progress of science can be regarded as layers interconnected into an elaborate network:
-
1.
Paradigms which summarize and predict data: the laws of science.
-
2.
Experimental data: scientific research.
-
3.
Technical devices and procedures: scientific instruments, methods, and materials.
