Abstract
In the course of the search for the Grand Unification Theory, there happens a change of epistemological standards of experimentation. Which of the two factors primarily influence this change - a social organization of researchers’ teams and relations within them or the nature of the subject of inquiry? We briefly consider how the cognitive status of an experiment, described in terms of such knowledge properties as the objectivity, reliability and validity, changes. We conclude that the transformation of epistemological standards is caused primarily by properties of the subject of inquiry and its epistemological nature.
