	Experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the other hand, in other cases such as biology, and medicine, it is often hard to ensure that the conditions of an experiment be performed consistently; and in the social sciences, it may even be difficult to determine a method for measuring the outcomes of an experiment in an objective manner.
		In many laboratory experiments it is good practice to have several replicate samples for the test being performed and have both a positive control and a negative control.
		In human experiments, a subject (person) may be given a stimulus to which he or she should respond.

		This was followed by the first known model of planetary motion given by Kepler in the early 17th century, where he proposed that the planets follow not circular orbits, but elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse.
		Also in the early 17th century, Galileo pioneered the use of experiment to validate physical theories, which is the key idea in the scientific method.
		The famous Earthrise picture, taken in 1968 by the astronauts of Apollo 8, was important in creating awareness of the finiteness of Earth, and the limits of its natural resources.

	Encyclopedia: Timeline of scientific experiments
		The Michelson-Morley experiment, one of the most important and famous experiments in the history of physics, was performed in 1887 at what is now Case Western Reserve University, and is considered to be the first strong evidence against the theory of a luminiferous aether.
		The Hershey-Chase experiment was a series of experiments conducted in 1952 by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase that identified DNA to be the genetic material of phages and, ultimately, of all organisms.
		The Meselson-Stahl experiment was an experiment by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl to prove that DNA replication was semiconservative.

		Of these experiments, the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite that was flown in 1989-1996 is probably the most famous and which made the first detection of the large scale anisotropies (other than the dipole).
		The primary goal of these experiments was to measure the scale of the first acoustic peak, which COBE did not have sufficient resolution to resolve.
		The first peak was measured with increasing sensitivity and by 2000 the Boomerang experiment reported that the highest power fluctions occur at one degree scales.

	The Milgram Experiment: A Lesson in Depravity
		The most amazing thing to note from this follow-up experiment is that 32% of the subjects in the proximity-touch condition held the hand of the learner on the shock plate while administering shocks in excess of 400 volts!
		Further experiments showed that teachers were less obedient when the experimenter communicated with them via the telephone versus in person, and males were just as likely to be obedient as females, although females tended to be more nervous.
		The experiments spanned a 25-year period from 1961 to 1985 and have been repeated in Australia, South Africa and in several European countries.

		During the early part of the 19th century, Davy was conducting experiments which led to his conclusions that many common substances were formed by the combination of oxygen and metals.
		This discovery further led Davy to decompose certain substances, and, in the process was to discover metals not commonly found in their pure state, such metals as: potassium, sodium, barium, strontium, etc. In 1812, Davy was knighted.
		"He experimented in fluid lenses, and made great improvements in casting specula for the reflecting telescope." Rosse was to pay a £30,000, a huge sum for the day, to build a 58 foot long reflecting telescope in the park of his home in Ireland, Birr castle.

	Stanley Milgram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stanley Milgram (August 15, 1933 - December 20, 1984) was a Yale University psychologist who conducted the Small world experiment (the source of the six degrees of separation concept) and the Milgram experiment on obedience to authority.
		Although considered one of the most important psychologists of the 20th century, he never took a psychology course as an undergraduate at Queens College, New York, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1954.
		In 1963, he published the results of his Milgram experiments in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology in the article Behavioral study of obedience.

	Management Experience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For the concept in roleplaying games, see experience point.'' Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event.
		The word "experience" may refer (somewhat ambiguously) both to mentally unprocessed immediately-perceived events as well as to the purported wisdom gained in subsequent reflection on those events or interpretation of them.
		First-hand experience of the "you had to be there" variety can seem especially valuable and privileged, but it often remains potentially subject to errors in sense-perception and in personal interpretation.

	Nonconsensual Medical Experiments on Human Beings
		Experiments on human subjects are performed after in vitro experiments and after experiments on animals have shown that a drug or technique has a reasonable possibility of benefiting human beings.
		Experiment must be designed to yield results for the good of society, unprocurable by other means of study.
		Animal experiments may demonstrate that new treatment is ineffective or dangerous (i.e., effective, but high incidence of death from treatment), and therefore human experiments may be avoided.

	Objective Subjectivity
		That is: We are mostly a compilation of our past experiences (in addition to other things) and therefore perceive virtually everything through those filters.
		Yet the common experience (hallucination?) of the grand lot of us, is that there is something "objective" - something(s) that exists without our neccessarily having given it/them approval.
		There may be a few more that we can add to that list, but I think the explanation is clear: a right is inviolable, and can not be taken away (or given for that matter) by any person.
