“Most scientific knowledge both is and is not universal. It is universal in the sense that in its artificiality and abstraction it is not firmly rooted to particular locations.Theoretical knowledge is about idealized worlds; laboratory knowledge is created so that it can be decontextualized, moved from place to place with relative ease. Yet scientific knowledge is not universal
because its immediate scope is limited to the artificial and abstract domains
from which it comes – though there is always a possibility of its extension.”
Sergio Sismondo, Introduction to Science and Technology Studies
