The support of APS members is vital to the work of the Forum, both because Forum activities are coordinated by its active members and the financial support the Forum receives from the APS depends on its membership. All APS members may join two Forums free of charge. Join the FPS Now! PHYSICS AND SOCIETY Latest issue, April 2004 January 2004 ...

Link to Physics 109n Home Page PHYSICS 109N: OVERVIEW AND LECTURE INDEX Counting in Babylon Babylon had in all probability the earliest written language. At the same time, an elegant system of weights and measures kept the peace in the marketplace. Their method of counting was in some ways better than our present one! We look at some ancient math tables, and ideas about Pythagoras' theorem 1,000 years before Pythagoras. Early Greek Science: Thales to Plato In the ancient port city of Miletus, there took place a "discovery of nature": philosophers tried to understand natural phenomena without invoking the supernatural. The Greeks imported basic geometric ideas from Egypt, and developed them further. Members of the Pythagorean cult announced the famous theorem, and the (to them) alarming discovery of irrational numbers! The Greeks had some ideas about elements and atoms. Hippocrates looked for non-supernatural causes of disease. Plato formulated a rationale for higher education, and thought about atoms. Motion in the Heavens: Stars, Sun, Moon, Planets

Tangent-linear model functions The interfaces to the forward and K-matrix model routines have not been overloaded for anything other than M profiles and L channels where M and L > 1. Thus at least two profiles and two channels must be processed per call. The code was written for multiple profile/channel input to minimise argument passing/copying. The profile inputs are based on the GDAS model output. Apart from the interface (LEVEL) pressure, all the other profile inputs are LAYER quantities. If you want to use the RTM with LEVEL based input, e.g. a sonde profile, you will need to convert the level data into layer average values. Module documentation list Software Beta 1.3 unix tarball

118. Experiment In Physics Entry from the Stanford Encyclopedia. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/physics-experiment/

version history HOW TO CITE THIS ENTRY Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C D ... Z This document uses XHTML-1/Unicode to format the display. Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display the formatting correctly. last substantive content change OCT Experiment in Physics 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. One of its important roles is to test theories and to provide the basis for scientific knowledge. It can also call for a new theory, either by showing that an accepted theory is incorrect, or by exhibiting a new phenomenon that is in need of explanation. Experiment can provide hints toward the structure or mathematical form of a theory and it can provide evidence for the existence of the entities involved in our theories. Finally, it may also have a life of its own, independent of theory. Scientists may investigate a phenomenon just because it looks interesting. Such experiments may provide evidence for a future theory to explain. [Examples of these different roles will be presented below.] As we shall see below, a single experiment may play several of these roles at once. If experiment is to play these important roles in science then we must have good reasons to believe experimental results, for science is a fallible enterprise. Theoretical calculations, experimental results, or the comparison between experiment and theory may all be wrong. Science is more complex than "The scientist proposes, Nature disposes." It may not always be clear what the scientist is proposing. Theories often need to be articulated and clarified. It also may not be clear how Nature is disposing. Experiments may not always give clear-cut results, and may even disagree for a time.
