We have come a long way in harnessing the power of scientific experimentation, and many of the most important advances have come along in the last few years as computing power has enabled new ideas to emerge and become practical. Here is a brief history of the state of the art in experimentation.
Experimentation is learning
Experimentation is trial and error, something we have always done. Try something and see what happens. Experiment has the same word root as experience, and actually is the same word in French. You learn from experience. You learn from varying factors and observing the results. This is the inductive method that encompasses most learning.
