No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experiments in science is unbroken. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest the mechanism of phenomena that are observed to be encouraged.
For the last type of experiment, think of Archimedes Polymath Ancient Greece in the bathtub realized that the transfer of water directly related to the volume of objects placed in it, which was suggested legend made him run on the naked road shouting “Eureka!” – Something that we now know may not happen.
Most scientific research is based on an “known” investigation ” – Scientists observe something, develop a hypothesis to be tested, and then designs experiments to test this. But other experiments have a deeper effect on our understanding, showing things that we do not know – “that is unknown unknown.”
Throughout the history of science, there are experiments in all the main scientific disciplines that have provided the results of paradigm or even the devastating status quo.
But when it comes to our understanding of the universe which is arguably there is no field of science that gives more results that fundamentally shift our understanding of the universe than physics – which includes astronomy, perhaps the earliest science, particle physics, nuclear physics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Some experiments were carried out physically, while others were carried out hypothetical in some of the biggest thoughts of history.
This physics experiment basically changes the way we look at the universe and where we are in it.
Although the concept of a round earth that rotates around the “central fire” has planted the seeds of heliocentrism in the early 5th century BC through the reflection of philolaus and hiceetas philosophers, something that was expanded by Aristarkus Samos Dua Martry later, from the 2nd scientific thought century and Has been dominated by geocentric theory, or based on Earth, Claudius Ptolemy from Alexandria.
This will be a case for nearly 1,400 years until the publication of Nicolaus Copernicus de Revolutibus Orbium Coelestium Libri VI or “Six Books Regarding the Heavenly Orbs Revolution” in 1543, which returned heliocentrism on the table.
The philosopher of the Italian, Astronomer, and Mathematics Galileo Galilei which will make an experimental step that sees what is called the Copernican model from Sun-CE
