Reconstruint aparells científics amb H. Otto Sibum

Performing a canonical experiment with a replica is a complementary means to investigate how science has worked historically. And "Experimental history of science" is the respective research programme, initiated and developed by H. Otto Sibum, who visited UAB in order to give a lecture at the Center for the History of Science (CEHIC-UAB). By building replicas of historic devices and performing the historical experiment, Sibum was able to enlighten hitherto neglected dimensions of past experimental practice that were not transmitted in the literary sources. To know more about pleasures and pitfalls that aroused from these recreations, from UAB Divulga we have posed him a few questions.
