Описание: Replication, the independent confirmation of experimental results and conclusions, is regarded as the ""gold standard"" in science. This book examines the question of successful or failed replications and demonstrates that that question is not always easy to answer. It presents clear examples of successful replications, the discoveries of the Higgs boson and of gravity waves. Failed replications include early experiments on the Fifth Force, a proposed modification of Newton's Law of universal gravitation, and the measurements of ""G,"" the constant in that law. Other case studies illustrate some of the difficulties and complexities in deciding whether a replication is successful or failed. It also discusses how that question has been answered. These studies include the ""discovery"" of the pentaquark in the early 2000s and the continuing search for neutrinoless double beta decay. It argues that although successful replication is the goal of scientific experimentation, it is not always easily achieved.

Описание: Suitable for readers uneducated in science, this title describes the development of humanity`s desire to know and understand the world around us through the various stages of its development to the present, when science is almost universally recognized - at least in the Western world - as the most reliable way of knowing.
Foreword.- Chapter I There are movements of sublunary bodies in a fluid environment, which nobody dealt with so far.- Chapter II On the moments of consistent and fluid heavy bodies floating in fluids.- Chapter III Every fluid body among those which rest on the surface of the earth is heavy and exerts the force of its gravity, even when present and quiescent in its due place, in all the fluid of its kind.- Chapter IV There is no positive lightness in the nature of things.- Chapter V On the structure, the gravity, the equilibrium and the elastic force of air.- Chapter VI There is neither attraction nor attractive force in Nature.- Chapter VII On the nature and cause of fluidity.- Chapter VIII Investigation of the cause of the spontaneous elevation of small particles of water in the air above the surface of the water.- Chapter IX On the mutual binding of floating corpuscles and on their shunning.- Chapter X On the natural velocity of heavy bodies in equal times.- Chapter XI Why movements of heavy bodies are made unequal by full fluid environments.- Chapter XII On the necessity of vacuum.- Chapter XIII Explanation of the fact that watery bodies when they freeze increase in volume with an enormous force.
