Thought Experiments:: Physics through Fiction

3/5 ( ratings)

Thought Experiment is a new, on-going project coordinated by Comma Press, in conjunction with the Institute of Physics, to commission authors and scientists to collaborate on new short stories that explore the great 'what if's in physics: the thought experiment.
Often referred to as the 'Intuition Pump' or Gedankenexperiment, the thought experiment shows the scientific imagination at its most ingenious. Devised as a way of conducting an experiment to test the limits of a theory without actually having to conduct it, it shows that, contrary to popular belief, science is NOT averse to story-telling, fiction, the power of the imaginative of the creative possibilities of the great 'what if'.

Sara Schofield - working with Dr Rob Appleby
Marie Louise Cookson - working with Dr Rob Appleby
