Gravity's Ghost by Harry Collins
In theory, at least, gravitational waves do exist. The author argues that sciences like gravitational wave detection, in exemplifying how the intractable is to be handled, can offer scientific leadership a moral beacon for the twenty-first century. In the end, he shows that discoveries are the denouements of dramatic scientific mysteries.
Gravity's Ghost reads like a good mystery novel, with an unexpected twistA significant contribution to the study of scientific practice. - Allan Franklin, University of Colorado
