Features: Physics is essentially an experimental science. The discovery of physical laws, the establishment of physical theories, and the development of physics all rely on experiments. They must be based on rigorous physical experiments and subjected to experimental verification. Aristotle, a highly knowledgeable ancient Greek, published many innovative views, but his idea that heavier objects fall faster is incorrect. In fact, if one conducts an experiment, this conclusion would not be reached. Wilhelm R?ntgen, the physicist who discovered X-rays, once said, "Experiment is the most powerful and reliable means by which we can uncover the mysteries of nature; it is also the final judge of whether a hypothesis should be retained or abandoned." To this day, experiment remains the only standard for verifying the correctness of scientific theories.
