The science of the 17th century was empiricist science. At that time, it was generally believed that human beings could use the senses to collect as much data as possible and finally understand the entire world through this data. Based on this, scientific discoveries were accidental and widely accepted. Scientific development and the use of new scientific instruments have increased the amount of scientific research data to a geometric progression. This situation has made previous experience no longer applicable-humans can no longer process and master these data by the senses alone. At the same time, the way to explore and mine data can even allow scientists to "plan contingency. ". Based on this text, the most likely next is:.
