OK, I’m finally catching up on the April and May reviews. The April theme was Beauty for Challenge #4. I read The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments by George Johnson.
Johnson confesses he had a difficult time picking the ten experiments for this book, and I don’t know how he was able to choose since there are so many great examples. However, he discusses ten experiments that not only changed scientific thinking, but were also examples of brilliant insight and scientific work. Science at its best. In reading this brief book, I easily see the beauty in what all of these scientists accomplished.
