The Peckham Experiment
Guy Ware's new novel charts a course from the 1930s onwards through the fragmentary memories of the 85 year-old Charlie, whose identical twin brother JJ has recently died.Sons of a working-class Communist family, growing up in the radical Peckham Experiment and orphaned by the Blitz, the twins emerge from the war keen to build the New Jerusalem. In 1968, JJ’s ideals are rocked by the fatal collapse of a tower block his council and Charlie’s development company have built.When the entire estate is demolished in 1986 JJ retires, apparently defeated.Now he is dead and Charlie, preparing for the funeral, relives their history, their family and their politics.It’s a story of how we got to where we are today told in a voice – opinionated, witty, garrulous, indignant, guilty, deluded and, as the night wears on, increasingly drunken – that sucks us in to both the idealism and the corruption it depicts, leaving us wondering just where we stand.

Laplace experiment or non-Laplace experiment?
A Laplace experiment is a random experiment in which all outcomes are equally likely. A non-Laplace experiment is a random experiment in which all outcomes are not equally likely. An example of a Laplace experiment is rolling a fair six-sided die, where each outcome has an equal probability of 1/6. An example of a non-Laplace experiment is drawing a card from a standard deck, where the probability of each outcome depends on the number of cards remaining in the deck.

What is a cultural heritage?
Cultural heritage refers to the traditions, customs, beliefs, and artifacts that are passed down from generation to generation within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a culture, including historical sites, monuments, art, music, language, and rituals. Cultural heritage plays a crucial role in shaping a community's identity and preserving its unique heritage for future generations. It is an important part of a society's history and contributes to its sense of belonging and continuity.

What is a pre-experiment for a physics experiment?
A pre-experiment in physics is a preliminary investigation or trial run conducted before the actual experiment. It helps researchers identify potential issues, refine the experimental setup, and determine the feasibility of the experiment. This allows researchers to make necessary adjustments and improvements before conducting the main experiment, ensuring its success and accuracy.

Why is the Rutherford experiment called the scattering experiment?
The Rutherford experiment is called the scattering experiment because it involved firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil and observing how they scattered after hitting the foil. This scattering of alpha particles provided crucial evidence for the existence of a small, dense nucleus within the atom, as most of the alpha particles passed through the foil with little deflection, but a small fraction were scattered at large angles. This unexpected scattering pattern led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom and revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure.

The Utopia Experiment
As read on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. Imagine you have survived an apocalypse. Civilization as you knew it is no more. What will life be like and how will you cope?In 2006, Dylan Evans set out to answer these questions.He left his job in a high-tech robotics lab, moved to the Scottish Highlands and founded a community called The Utopia Experiment.There, together with an eclectic assortment of volunteers, he tried to live out a scenario of global collapse, free from modern technology and comforts.Within a year, Evans found himself detained in a psychiatric hospital, shattered and depressed, trying to figure out what had gone wrong.In The Utopia Experiment he tells his own extraordinary story: his frenzied early enthusiasm for this unusual project, the many challenges of post-apocalyptic living, his descent into madness and his gradual recovery.In the process, he learns some hard lessons about himself and about life, and comes to see the modern world he abandoned in a new light.

The Barns Experiment
Originally published in 1945, this is a concise account of the remarkable experiment with boys carried out by the author of The Hawkspur Experiment.The war put this latter experiment into abeyance, but gave its author an opportunity to practice his principles on a group of younger difficult boys.Aged from eight to fourteen, these boys were the "throw-outs" of the Evacuation Scheme, but before the Barns experiment had been long in operation troublesome boys were being evacuated not primarily to escape bombs, but in order that they might have the treatment that Barns provided. Barns was a Hostel-school initiated by the Society of Friends, where lawless boys made their own laws, and where the principle instrument in their reformation was not punishment but affection.So successful were the unconventional methods here described that sceptics were convinced, and Barns has now achieved a permanent place in the field of "the therapy of the dis-social." Today it would be described as a therapeutic community and is one of the earliest experiments of its kind that raised awareness and paved the way for further research in this area.

Sweden’s Pandemic Experiment
This book considers Sweden’s pandemic management which differed so significantly from much of the rest of the world: it provoked intense and wide-reaching interest, curiosity and criticism.Trans-disciplinary Swedish authors from the humanities, life sciences, social sciences, and cultural studies use a variety of tools to mine deeper into some of the central elements and dimensions in their country’s pandemic management such as understandings of freedom, the execution of power, denialism, exceptionalism, patriotism, the role of expertise and trust in the national state to give a deeper understanding of Sweden’s decisions, failures, successes, and the lessons to be learned. Aimed at readers with interest in global health and politics it will also be of interest in disciplines such as virology, epidemiology, history, cultural studies, ethics, media studies, medicine and economics.

Why is Rutherford's scattering experiment called a scattering experiment at all?
Rutherford's experiment is called a scattering experiment because it involved firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil and observing how they scattered after hitting the foil. The term "scattering" refers to the process of particles being deflected from their original path as a result of collisions with the atoms in the foil. By analyzing the pattern of scattering, Rutherford was able to deduce the structure of the atom and propose the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus at its center. This experiment was crucial in advancing our understanding of atomic structure and the behavior of subatomic particles.

Is the experiment funny?
The experiment is not intended to be funny. It is a serious scientific study designed to investigate a specific hypothesis or research question. The focus is on collecting data and analyzing results to draw meaningful conclusions, rather than on creating humor or entertainment.
-
Is the experiment strange?
Yes, the experiment is strange. The idea of using a virtual reality headset to create a simulated out-of-body experience is not a common or typical experiment. It is an unconventional approach to studying the human brain and consciousness. The experiment challenges traditional methods of studying the mind and perception, making it unusual and intriguing.

What was Helmont's experiment?
Jan Baptista van Helmont conducted an experiment to determine the source of plant growth. He planted a willow tree in a pot filled with 200 pounds of dry soil and watered it only with rainwater for five years. After five years, he found that the tree had gained 164 pounds in weight, while the soil had lost only 2 ounces. Helmont concluded that plants do not grow by taking up soil, but rather from water alone. This experiment was one of the first to demonstrate the concept of photosynthesis.
