All this was simple compared to D. W. Griffith's Intolerance ( 1916 ), in which four parallel stories are intercut throughout the whole length of the film, though in this case the stories are more similar than contrasting in their nature.

Many find aberration to be counter-intuitive, and a simple thought experiment based on everyday experience can help in its understanding.

simple: Young's double-slit experiment

To illustrate this idea, we can formulate a very simple hidden variable theory for the above thought experiment.

In 1907, beginning with a simple thought experiment involving an observer in free fall, he embarked on what would be an eight-year search for a relativistic theory of gravity.

simple: Hershey – Chase experiment

I set up a simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist.

simple: Milgram experiment

simple: Miller – Urey experiment

A simple example is an experiment due to Young where light is passed through two slits.

* July 4 – Near Concord, Massachusetts, Henry David Thoreau embarks on a 2-year experiment in simple living at Walden Pond ( see Walden ).

" Two months later, Thoreau embarked on a two-year experiment in simple living on July 4, 1845, when he moved to a small, self-built house on land owned by Emerson in a second-growth forest around the shores of Walden Pond.

During an international meeting of fuzzy researchers in Tokyo that year, Takeshi Yamakawa demonstrated the use of fuzzy control, through a set of simple dedicated fuzzy logic chips, in an " inverted pendulum " experiment.

More importantly, the clever and simple experiment demonstrated the validity of using balloons for planetary exploration.

This mathematical machinery gives a simple, direct way to compute a statistical property of the outcome of an experiment, once it is understood how to associate the initial state with a Hilbert space vector, and the measured quantity with an observable ( that is, a specific Hermitian operator ).

Parfit illustrates this with a simple thought experiment.

The Foucault pendulum ( ), or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Léon Foucault, is a simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth.

While it had long been known that the Earth rotated, the introduction of the Foucault pendulum in 1851 was the first simple proof of the rotation in an easy-to-see experiment.

Stanley Lloyd Miller ( March 7, 1930-May 20, 2007 ) was an American chemist and biologist who is known for his studies into the origin of life, particularly the Miller – Urey experiment which demonstrated that organic compounds can be created by fairly simple physical processes from inorganic substances.

Miller's experiment went slightly further by showing that basic biomolecules can be formed through simple physical processes, and that it was not impossible for the first stages of abiogenesis to have occurred on the early earth.

To understand why a single vote per race tends to favor less centric candidates, consider a simple lab experiment where students in a class vote for their favorite marble.

Consider the simple experiment where a fair coin is tossed four times.

In an experiment by Hummer and McClintock, androstandienone or a control odor was put on the upper lips of fifty males and females and they were tested for four different effects of the pheromone: 1 ) automatic attention towards positive and negative facial expressions, 2 ) the strength of cognitive and emotional information as distracters in a simple reaction time task, 3 ) relative attention to social and nonsocial stimuli ( i. e. neutral faces ), and 4 ) mood and attentiveness in the absence of social interaction.

Aside from the measurement, the beauty of the oil drop experiment is that it is a simple, elegant hands-on demonstration that charge is actually quantized.

Griffith's experiment discovering the " transforming principle " in pneumococcus bacteria.

Griffith's experiment, reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith, was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.

Until Griffith's experiment, bacteriologists believed that the types were fixed and unchangeable, from one generation to another.

* Frederick Griffith conducts Griffith's experiment, indirectly proving the existence of DNA.

In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty demonstrated the transforming factor in Griffith's experiment was DNA, not protein, as was widely believed at the time.

* January-Frederick Griffith reports the results of Griffith's experiment, indirectly proving the existence of DNA.

* 1928 – Griffith's experiment shows that living cells can be transformed via a transforming principle, later discovered to be DNA

: 1928: Frederick Griffith discovers that hereditary material from dead bacteria can be incorporated into live bacteria ( see Griffith's experiment )
