3 Physics Experiments that Changed the World

The video explores three groundbreaking physics experiments. Henry Cavendish's 1797 experiment measured gravitational force, leading to the gravitational constant. Thomas Young's early 19th-century experiment demonstrated light's wave properties, challenging Newton's particle theory and contributing to wave-particle duality. Ernest Rutherford's 1909 experiment refuted the plum pudding model, revealing the atomic nucleus and shaping modern nuclear physics.
