What has been the journey of science and technology to become closely intertwined?

Nevertheless, human diligence struggled to bridge this socially created divide. It was Bacon who really mobilized human ingenuity to bridge this divide. Bacon argued that the scholarly tradition of the time was impoverished because it had lost touch with practice. At the same time, the artisanal tradition was scientifically weakened by the fact that so much had not been written down. in 1620, he published The New Treatise of Instruments, which clarified the significance of experimental science from an epistemological perspective. He believed that sensation was dependable and the source of all knowledge. Science should be an experimental science, using rational methods to organize sensory materials. He was the first to perfect the inductive method of cognition. He pointed out that in the process of cognition one must proceed from cause and effect, from analyzing individual things and from observation, and that any reliable theory must be based on a large number of facts.

Under the influence of Bacon's ideas, the artisanal and scholarly traditions were gradually combined in England in the first half of the 17th century. This combination reached its climax in 1660. During this period, the scope of research by English scientists expanded. They developed scientific theories on the European continent is widely used in the process of technology, countless technological inventions have emerged, science has been increasingly into the field of production, the United Kingdom is about to take off.
