Council Housing and Culture : The History of a Social Experiment
Named one of the Top 10 books about council housing - the Guardian onlineBorn of idealism, and once an icon of the Labour movement and pillar of the Welfare State, council housing is now nearing its end.But do its many failings outweigh its positive contributions to public health and wellbeing?Alison Ravetz here provides the first comprehensive and apolitical history from which to arrive at a balanced judgement.Drawing on the widest possible evidence, from tenant and government records to the built environment itself, she tells the story of British council housing, from its seeds in Victorian reactions to 'the Poor', in philanthropy and model villages, Christian and other varieties of socialism.Her depiction of council housing in its mature years shows the often bizarre persistence of 'utopian' attitudes (whether in architectural design or management styles); its rise to a monopoly position in working-class family housing; the many compromises consequent on its state finance and local authority control; and the impact on working-class lives as an intellectuals' 'utopian dream' was converted into a social policy for the masses.

European Cinema and Continental Philosophy : Film As Thought Experiment
This groundbreaking volume for the Thinking Cinema series focuses on the extent to which contemporary cinema contributes to political and philosophical thinking about the future of Europe's core Enlightenment values.In light of the challenges of globalization, multi-cultural communities and post-nation state democracy, the book interrogates the borders of ethics and politics and roots itself in debates about post-secular, post-Enlightenment philosophy.By defining a cinema that knows that it is no longer a competitor to Hollywood (i.e. the classic self-other construction), Elsaesser also thinks past the kind of self-exoticism or auto-ethnography that is the perpetual temptation of such a co-produced, multi-platform 'national cinema as world cinema'.Discussing key filmmakers and philosophers, like: Claire Denis and Jean-Luc Nancy; Aki Kaurismäki, abjection and Julia Kristeva; Michael Haneke, the paradoxes of Christianity and Slavoj Zizek; Fatih Akin, Alain Badiou and Jacques Rancière, Elsaesser is able to approach European cinema and assesses its key questions within a global context.His combination of political and philosophical thinking will surely ground the debate in film philosophy for years to come.

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 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.

Is modern art really art or rather an experiment, journalism, or a social study?
Modern art can be considered art in the traditional sense, as it often involves the expression of creativity and emotion through various mediums. However, it can also be seen as an experiment, as many modern artists push the boundaries of traditional artistic techniques and styles. Additionally, modern art can serve as a form of journalism or social study, as it often reflects and comments on contemporary social and political issues. Ultimately, the classification of modern art as art, experiment, journalism, or social study can vary depending on the specific piece and the perspective of the viewer.

Investigating the Stanford Prison Experiment : History of a Lie
In 1971, psychologist Philip Zimbardo ran the now famous Stanford prison experiment to show that prison could make normal people behave in pathological ways. Based on the first thorough investigation in the archives of the experiment and on interviews with about half of its participants, this book shows that the Stanford prison experiment is far from being scientific.In particular, the guards knew what results were expected from them, they were trained and supervised by the experimenters, and they were following a schedule and a set of rules written by the experimenters.The experimenters deceived the guards and made them believe they were not subjects.They also borrowed many elements from a previous student experiment without disclosing this information in their reports.The prisoners were not allowed to leave the experiment at will, and they were conditioned by the experimenters.The mock prison situation was unrealistic. Most participants did not forget they were participating in an experiment, and many responded to demand characteristics.The data was not collected properly. And the conclusions were pre-written according to non-academic aims. This book goes beyond the experiment to provide ample background and context, in order to understand how the experiment was planned, financed, recorded, and divulged in the press and within the academic.It discusses also the role played by Philip Zimbardo in the trial of one of the guards of Abu Ghraib, as well as the impact of mass media on science, the debates between personal psychology and social psychology, and the specific nature of cold war social science.

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.
