it also led to the notion that is must be possible to notice all the patterns that exist thus know all that is required to be known to know (control) nature
this led to the notion that to discover confirmation of the patterns you break nature apart to match your model to what is inside things
this is still the preferred choice today where things are forced to smash into each other at high speed and the results of their smash are tracked as in:
the resultant explosive affect of both objects breaking up is tracked backwards in the hope that the pieces seen to exist from smashing the whole can be tracked back to how they fit together (pattern) inside the whole before you smashed it
cern mentality
destruction of nature to understand nature
