Reasoning and Explanation in Physics - I: Modes of Reasoning
K K Mashood Anwesh Mazumdar Arvind Kumar
In this article, we briefly review and illustrate the evolution of reasoning modes in science, from the pre-modern to the modern era, with particular reference to physics. This can help students demarcate explanations that are unacceptable in modern science from those that are possible explanations subject to experimental confirmation. The discussion bears directly on some common learning pitfalls in physics.
