    As part of our early stage science research, we are looking at the history of developments in understanding electricity. Our researchers have been reading this book from 1898: "A history of Electricity from antiquity to the days of Benjamin Franklin."

    Interesting piece on how ancient observers worked out that the earth is spherical. It looks in some depth at the plausibility of different theories, in particular why it's unlikely that it was from ships going over the horizon.

    What is the role of thought experiments in generating (new) understanding of the world? We've touched on the topic this week, and we're interested in your thoughts. Here's an article that discusses some of the debates around thought experiments.

    Thomas S. Kuhn suggests that Galileo didn't always make clear whether he was using thought experiments or physical experiments. If this is right, then it might suggest a different approach to the role of thought experiments in science than our approach today.

    Kuhn discusses the importance of instrument refinement for the development of the so-called Baconian sciences (those that arose out of the scientific revolution). From chapter 3 of his collection of essays, "The essential tension: selected studies in scientific tradition."

    For example, in studying electricity Volta came to realize metal conducts electricity by putting different metals on his tongue. His research eventually led to the development of the Voltaic pile, a precursor to the modern battery.

    We’re looking at historical case studies of initial discoveries that seemed integral to the development of currently fruitful scientific fields. We want to understand what, if any, patterns exist in the early development of those fields.

    We’re currently exploring the idea that early stages of successful scientific fields are characterized by methods distinct from the rest of the scientific process, and understanding this period can help improve research. Here’s our introductory paper:
