Description

Explore the complex reality of scientific discovery with No Easy Answers by Allan Franklin. Published by University of Pittsburgh Press, this book provides an accurate look at how science actually works. It is written for a wide audience, including general readers and scholars in the humanities and social sciences who may not have a background in physics. Instead of focusing on complex formulas, Franklin uses nontechnical case studies to explain the many roles that experimentation plays in the scientific process. You will learn about the highs and lows of research through real-world examples. The text covers major successes like the discovery of the electron and three types of neutrino. It also examines the less certain side of science, including studies that resulted in dead ends, wrong turns, or mistakes, such as the proposed fifth force modification of Newton's law of gravity. This book offers a clear perspective on the pursuit of knowledge and the practical nature of scientific experimentation.
