No experimental science would be possible without clocks capable of measuring tiny increments of time.
In addition, the tradition and methodology of experimental science is far more developed, and more sophisticated, in medicine than it is in economics.
One fascinating recent development in the realm of experimental science is the work of Ross King, a biologist and computer scientist at Aberystwyth University in Wales.
He points out that particle physics is an experimental science.
Indian physicist, biologist, and early writer of science fiction, he pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent.
David Cesarini, an economist at the Center for Experimental Social Science at New York University, Magnus Johannesson of the Stockholm School of Economics and others have used the database to investigate whether people's genes play a role in determining fairness and financial risk-taking.

The researchers claim the study, published in the journal Science, offers rare experimental proof of a breakdown in a local ecosystem.
These fields include areas of nanotechnology, where the categories of physics, chemistry and biology overlap and collapse on each other so as to create new kinds of science, and quantum mechanics, where experimental outcomes are usually seen only in blackboard-based probability formulas.
He said that science was entering a period of "unprecedented experimental control" of light and matter.

Professor Stevens told the British Association science festival how a new breast cancer drug called Phortress, developed in his Cancer Research UK Experimental Cancer Chemotherapy Research Group, had been awaiting the start of clinical trials for three years.
While this project is very much in the experimental stage, it provides a glimpse of what transportation might look like in the future thanks to advanced computer science.
