书籍简介

地球那么大一颗，你知道怎样测出它的体重吗？甚至连它的圆周长我们也可以测得出来喔。我们感受不到地球自动，但是，只要简单的设计我们就能证明地球在转动！

历史上许多开创科学新局面的实验，其实都来自简单和巧妙的原理和设计。这些实验改变了科学发展的方向，造就了我们今日的世界。在西元前三世纪，希腊科学家埃拉托斯特尼靠着日晷仪的影子就测量出地球的大小。在大家普遍相信重物落下的速度比轻巧物体快的时代，十六世纪的伽利略仅靠着简单的推论，以及从比萨斜塔同时让轻重物体自由落下，就轻松推翻了那时代的科学知识。

本书作者克里斯为著名科学史学家。在书中他收录了决定科学史发展的十项重要实验，如牛顿以稜镜分出光谱、巨大得让人肃然起敬的傅科摆、让人类看见电子的密立根油滴实验等等。作者以说故事的口吻，将重大实验原理背后的发现说得像一部探险小史，没有生硬的计算，没有死背的公式，而是活生生的智力激荡。读完这本书将改变你对科学实验原有的生硬印象，透过这十项史上最美的实验，你将体验到宇宙的奥秘以及实验中简洁有力的智慧。

本书是作者透过《物理学杂志》向全球读者最美的十项实验，最后收录了：

◎地球的大小：埃拉托斯特尼测度地球的周长

◎自由落体：比萨斜塔的传奇

◎阿尔法实验：伽利略的斜面实验

◎七彩光谱：牛顿的稜镜分光实验

◎帮地球量体重：卡文迪什严谨的实验

◎让波发亮：杨氏简单好懂的类比

◎地球的自转：令人肃然起敬的傅科摆

◎漂移的电子：密立根的油滴实验

◎晨曦之美：拉塞福发现了原子核

◎w一的谜团：单一电子的量子干涉实验

Is science beautiful? Yes, argues acclaimed philosopher and historian of science Robert P. Crease in this engaging exploration of history’s most beautiful experiments. The result is an engrossing journey through nearly 2,500 years of scientific innovation. Along the way, we encounter glimpses into the personalities and creative thinking of some of the field’s most interesting figures.

We see the first measurement of the earth’s circumference, accomplished in the third century B.C. by Eratosthenes using sticks, shadows, and simple geometry. We visit Foucault’s mesmerizing pendulum, a cannonball suspended from the dome of the Panthéon in Paris that allows us to see the rotation of the earth on its axis. We meet Galileo—the only scientist with two experiments in the top ten—brilliantly drawing on his musical training to measure the speed of falling bodies. And we travel to the quantum world, in the most beautiful experiment of all.

We also learn why these ten experiments exert such a powerful hold on our imaginations. From the ancient world to cutting-edge physics, these ten exhilarating moments reveal something fundamental about the world, pulling us out of confusion and revealing nature’s elegance. The Prism and the Pendulum brings us face-to-face with the wonder of science.

“Science and scientists are so often seen as cold and emotionless, but they are passionately drawn to beauty and truth, no less intensely than artists or poets. One can open this book anywhere and get a sense of this special passion—each chapter has its own special feel and delectations, and all of them bring out that beauty, for scientists, is no less important than truth, and that one can be ravished by an experiment no less than by a work of art.”

—Oliver Sacks

“In an era in which the public perceives science as a string of ethereal ideas conjured up by cute men in tweed jackets sitting in overstuffed leather chairs in the faculty lounge, The Prism and the Pendulum creates a refreshing portrait of beauty in science: of men with rough hands polishing inclined planes, peering into wells, climbing towers, or sitting in the dark looking for the one spark in eight thousand that would ignite the nuclear age. In this readable, narrative-driven book, we meet scientists wresting the truth from nature by confronting her on a physical, visceral level. Robert Crease, with this volume, destroys and corrects the ‘damn good stories’ commonly used to teach science, and places himself among our most important science historians and philosophers.”

—Dick Teresi, author of Lost Discoveries, coauthor of The God Particle, cofounder of Omni
