When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.
My experiments proved that the radiation of uranium compounds can be measured with precision under determined conditions and that this radiation is an atomic property of the element of uranium.
The best and safest method of philosophizing seems to be first to inquire diligently into the properties of things, and establishing those properties by experiments, and then to proceed more slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them.
The truth is, we haven't really figured out yet how artists are going to thrive in modern mass societies. We're all experiments.
I think my formative experiences were really in junior high, where at a typical public school we were doing little genetic experiments, very classic experiments.
The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
I've been on 26 space missions; they range from suborbital to orbital to shuttle experiments to planetary missions.
Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.
Hypotheses should be subservient only in explaining the properties of things but not assumed in determining them, unless so far as they may furnish experiments.
It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can finally derive from the observations statistical distributions, and by repeating such series of experiments, we can arrive at objective statements concerning these distributions.
I get offers all the time from film makers, but they are unknown quantities. I don't go there and do experiments.
You make observations, write theories to fit them, try experiments to disprove the theories and, if you can't, you've got something.
After developing a primitive theory (1968) I therefore did not pursue this subject. However, the work was taken up by others and in 1974 the first experiments were done in the ISR.
I have had positive experiences with cameras. When I have been asked to join experiments using cameras in the courtroom, I have participated; I have volunteered.
