. The main aim of this book is to shine a spotlight on key
experiments and their crucial 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. Facts
matter. In that sense, the book attempts to be
complementary to the many popularizations of
theoretical physics, and to counterbalance the
frequent emphasis there on more speculative ideas.
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 will be
given a more empirical meaning. At the end, the reader is invited
to reflect on what could be exciting and important directions for
fundamental physics. All readers with an undergraduate degree
in physical sciences or engineering will enjoy and
learn much from this stimulating and original text.
