粒子物理標準模型的建立是當代大科學（big science）的典型代表，高能物理實驗是當代大科學工程（large scientifc engineering）的主戰場，海量數據的獲得和分析是當代大數據分析（big data analysis）的典範，而尋找希格斯粒子的大型強子對撞機LHC物理，則是當代大科學研究活動的典型案例。雖然說量子場論突出了大科學理論的性質，大型強子對撞機LHC突顯了大科學裝置的特徵，尋找希格斯粒子體現出大科學工程的特點，尤其是其中對海量數據的處理成為問題的關鍵；但是當代科學的研究範式應該是體現在其中每一個環節，就像本書每一個章節講的就是這個範式的一部分，或者說全書就是以粒子物理學為代表的當代科學研究的典範。全書認為科學研究範式主要考察理論和實驗之間的關係問題，通過考察量子規範場論的理論結構、粒子物理標準模型的實驗研究、希格斯粒子的發現，認為大科學、大數據、大工程是當代科學的特徵，特別是數據分析在理論跟實驗之間起了關鍵作用。
