Holy Experiment Day

The scientist proposes, Nature disposes. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. Ants take rest for around 8 Minutes in 12-hour period. Coca-Cola was originally green.

Physics, and natural science in general, is a reasonable enterprise based on valid experimental evidence, criticism, and rational discussion. It provides us with knowledge of the physical world, and it is experiment that provides the evidence that grounds this knowledge. Experiment plays many roles in science. Is the simple and decisive experiment still a worthy ideal?

There is a long tradition among scientists of comparing scientific models, images, theories and experiments to works of art. We are told that Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, the double helix structure of DNA molecules, and images of colliding particles are beautiful, and that, just like works of art, they evoke in us aesthetic responses. Do we need to do an experiment to confirm this?
