This book addresses the pursuit and further investigation of
experimental results by analyzing classic examples from physics. The
authors concentrate on the investigation of experimental results by
examining case studies from the history of 20th and 21st century
physics. Discussions on the discovery of parity nonconservation, the
rise and fall of the Fifth Force, the search for neutrinoless double
β decay, supersymmetry and the expansion of the Standard Model, and
measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muons are
provided. Experimental results may achieve acceptance to the point
that even well known principles, such as conservation of energy and
quantization, lose their status as accepted. Such principles and their
options are treated on an equal footing as being pursuit worthy even
though there is no plausible explanation as to why and how they might
have failed.
