narrowness of vision developing in scientific research leads to fragmentation. Historically, this partly arose when physics became the ideal that all science aims for. Physics, after the development of quantum theory, followed the spirit of mathematics. Gradually, it became the practice to talk mostly about equations and to analyze everything into independent elements that can be dealt with separately. This resulted in the increased ignorance of the wider context that gives things unity in science (p. 10 - 11)
One reason for fragmentations is that scientists become “accustomed to using their tacit skills and knowledge in subliminal and unconscious ways”, resulting in them to hold onto the old ways within new context, at times, to the detriment of scientific progress (p. 21)
