121. Physics In The Nineteenth Century Although the final conceptual aim was to create a unified physics that Of the many influences on the development of physics in the nineteenth century http://www.victorianweb.org/science/physintro.html

Physics in the Nineteenth Century Diane Greco, M.A., Massachusetts Institute of Technology arked by an ever-increasing emphasis on quantification and by a search for mathematical laws to describe observed phenomena, the nineteenth century encompassed a distinctive phase in physics research (or, to use period terminology, natural philosophy) both in Britain and on the Continent. This period witnessed the rise of the laboratory and of sophisticated techniques and technologies for measuring and eliciting phenomena, as well as the establishment of large institutes (such as the Physikalische-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin) to conduct physical research both for the state and often indirectly for private concerns. Although the final conceptual aim was to create a unified physics that is, to create a set of fundamental laws governing all physical phenomena physics also served the commercial, military, and political needs of different burgeoning and expanding industrial nations. At this time, the main objects of study were the so-called imponderables: light, heat, electricity, and magnetism. Although study of each imponderable was conducted quite apart from the others in the early years of the century, by the end of the century each of these objects was treated as "different manifestations of the same fundamental energy," as a contemporary, J. B. Stallo, put it in 1880. This shift from a physics of matter to one of energy occurred in concert with a gradual rejection of mechanical models of an ether.

124. Experiment In Physics On the uses, value, and epistomelogy of experiment. By Allan Franklin, University of Colorado. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/physics-experiment/

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.
