This dimension groups experiments by the year they were carried out. Wikipedia notes that experiments "vary greatly in goal and scale but always rely on repeatable procedure and logical analysis of the results," results that in every case were recorded in one specific year. Browsing by year lets a visitor compare experiments carried out at the same time.
