Takuwa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the history of ever-changing science through historical research and the reproduction of past experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about ever-changing science through its history
The Takuwa Lab studies the history of science as a perspective for continuing to work within the ever-changing world of "science."
Its specialty is the history of science, particularly the history of physics in the 17th and 18th centuries, with Newton's research on light as the central theme.
Old texts often do not record failed experiments or theories that turned out to be wrong.
The lab therefore uses replication experiments and simulations to fill in what was never written down as it investigates.
Key terms
- History of science
- A field that investigates how ways of thinking about science and ways of conducting research have changed over time
- Replication experiments
- Repeating an experiment that a scientist of the past carried out, under the same conditions as at the time
- Simulation
- A method of reproducing a phenomenon through calculation, instead of testing it in reality, to see what happens
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the history of physics within the history of science, focusing mainly on Isaac Newton's research on light. Historical research is based on written sources, but the lab takes an approach of filling in what those sources do not record through replication experiments and simulations.
