I wanted to point that Science is APPLIED (purpose in the scenario and not the fundamental philosophy of science.) I really like the members responses. It takes time to digest information.... could not a moment be infinite? ..That looks quite impossible...but maybe it could last very very long, related to the physical circumstances. Medical science is science. Has to understand a lot of different aspects of sciences so please do not look down on it.

So, you don't think that people copy stuff onto new media? Well.... we do. So, it doesn't matter if I can read a floppy disk or not, because I can read the copy that's been made onto whatever medium I currently use. And, because it's digital data, it's a perfect copy of the original digital version. That's the point which you seem to be deliberately ignoring. You don't need to be able to read the outdated formats because the data is copied onto the new ones. Sheesh!

I woudln’t throw „impossible” so litely but yes, there are fields on the quantum level so „nothing” is not that simple in nature. In math the concept of zero is clear: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/0 Mathematics is just a very handy tool that we use. Its the language that phycisists and other sxientists use to figure out and convey concepts with. It’s not rational to put math and nature beside each other to compare.

(e.g: infinite vs finite or 1/0=....) Your strawmanning questions are getting to be more than a little annoying. Microbiology, for example, is microbiology, not medicine. And I said nothing about microbiology. You gave an example of hospital hygiene earlier. The reason the recommendations seem bad is that medicine was not in the habit of doing any sort of systematic testing of ideas, i.e. not science. And it is still in the process of shaking that off. The fact that "alternative medicine" (e.g. homeopathic) is still considered medicine should be sufficient evidence to show that medicine is not science.
