No Easy Answers: Science and the Pursuit of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780822959687 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In "No Easy Answers," Allan Franklin offers an accurate picture of science to both a general reader and to scholars in the humanities and social sciences who may not have any background in physics. Through the examination of nontechnical case studies, he illustrates the various roles that experiment plays in science. He uses examples of unquestioned success, such as the discoveries of the electron and of three types of neutrino, as well as studies that were dead ends, wrong turns, or just plain mistakes, such as the fifth force, a proposed modification of Newton's law of gravity. Franklin...

The Rise and Fall of the Fifth Force: Discovery, Pursuit, and Justification in Modern Physics
ISBN: 9783319284118 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book provides the reader with a detailed and captivating account of the story where, for the first time, physicists ventured into proposing a new force of nature beyond the four known ones - the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, and gravitation - based entirely on the reanalysis of existing experimental data.
Back in 1986, Ephraim Fischbach, Sam Aronson, Carrick Talmadge and their collaborators proposed a modification of Newton s Law of universal gravitation. Underlying this proposal were three tantalizing pieces of evidence: 1) an energy dependence of the CP...

Experiment, Right or Wrong
ISBN: 9780521064774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Experiment, Right or Wrong, Allan Franklin continues his investigation of the history and philosophy of experiment presented in his previous book, The Neglect of Experiment. In this new study, Franklin considers the fallibility and corrigibility of experimental results and presents detailed histories of two such episodes: 1) the experiment and the development of the theory of weak interactions from Fermi's theory in 1934 to the V-A theory of 1957 and 2) atomic parity violation experiments and the Weinberg-Salam unified theory of electroweak interactions of the 1970s and 1980s. In these...

The Neglect of Experiment
ISBN: 9780521379656 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What role have experiments played, and should they play, in physics? How does one come to believe rationally in experimental results? The Neglect of Experiment attempts to provide answers to both of these questions. Professor Franklin's approach combines the detailed study of four episodes in the history of twentieth century physics with an examination of some of the philosophical issues involved. The episodes are the discovery of parity nonconservation ( or the violation of mirror symmetry) in the 1950s; the nondiscovery of parity nonconservation in the 1930s, when the results of experiments...

What Makes a Good Experiment?: Reasons and Roles in Science
ISBN: 9780822944416 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What makes a good experiment? Although experimental evidence plays an essential role in science, as Franklin argues, there is no algorithm or simple set of criteria for ranking or evaluating good experiments, and therefore no definitive answer to the question. Experiments can, in fact, be good in any number of ways: conceptually good, methodologically good, technically good, and pedagogically important. And perfection is not a requirement: even experiments with incorrect results can be good, though they must, he argues, be methodologically good, providing good reasons for belief in their...

Shifting Standards: Experiments in Particle Physics in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780822944300 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Shifting Standards, Allan Franklin provides an overview of notable experiments in particle physics. Using papers published in Physical Review, the journal of the American Physical Society, as his basis, Franklin details the experiments themselves, their data collection, the events witnessed, and the interpretation of results. From these papers, he distills the dramatic changes to particle physics experimentation from 1894 through 2009. Franklin develops a framework for his analysis, viewing each example according to exclusion and selection of data; possible experimenter...

Selectivity And Discord: Two Problems Of Experiment
ISBN: 9780822961949 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Selectivity and Discord addresses the fundamental question of whether there are grounds for belief in experimental results. Specifically, Allan Franklin is concerned with two problems in the use of experimental results in science: selectivity of data or analysis procedures and the resolution of discordant results. By means of detailed case studies of episodes from the history of modern physics, Franklin shows how these problems can be-and are-solved in the normal practice of science and, therefore, that experimental results may be legitimately used as a basis for scientific...

Are There Really Neutrinos?: An Evidential History
ISBN: 9780367190057 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This intriguing and accessible book examines the experiments on neutrino oscillations. It argues that this history gives us good reason to believe in the existence of neutrinos, a particle that interacts so weakly with matter that its interaction length is measured in light years of lead. Yet, the scientific process has provided evidence of the elusive neutrino. Written in a style accessible to any reader with a college education in physics, Are There Really Neutrinos? is of interest to students and researchers alike. This second edition contains a new epilogue highlighting the new...
