Description
.
The main aim of this book is to shine a spotlight on key-experiments and their importance for advancing our understanding of physics. Physics is an empirical science, and experiments have always been a driving force in the development of our understanding of nature. In that sense, the book attempts to be complementary to the many popularizations of theoretical and frequently speculative ideas in physics.
Experimental physics is also an essential pillar in physics teaching, as well as helping broader audiences to better understand important concepts, particularly in challenging fields such as relativity or quantum physics, where our common sense intuition often fails.
Readers are taken on an historical journey, starting with "Free Fall" and culminating in "Spooky Action at a Distance". En route they will encounter many important branches of physics, whose main ideas and theoretical description be given a more empirical meaning. In the end the reader is invited to reflect on what could be exciting and important directions for fundamental physics of the twenty-first century.
