Astroparticle physics employs a range of theories to model the sources of cosmic radiation but until now, it has not fully captured the relevant connections between these theories. Using Scheibe's method for the reconstruction and reduction of physical theories, Raphael Bolinger demonstrates the uses and limitations of formal strategies for standardization. This illustrates Scheibe's relevance to current problems in the philosophy of science.
