"In many ways, experience landed in science’s blind spot by design. As the methodologies of modern science were being established from the 16th through the 19th centuries, a central goal was to set aside personal, or subjective, elements. What the early architects of the scientific method, such as Francis Bacon, sought to do was break down the elements of experience into aspects that remain unchanged from person to person, or what the philosopher Michel Bitbol calls the “structural invariants of experience.” Identifying these elements, which became the basis for making measurements, was the first step in our scientific interrogations of nature." - Adam Frank
