Abstract

We discuss experiments aimed at retracing some of the experiments on vacuum performed in the 17th century by Boyle and Huygens. We focus on the ‘anomalous suspension’ of water reported by Huygens in 1662. Our revisitation allows to discuss the apparent contrast between the results obtained by Boyle and Huygens. This controversy was one of the first conducted in scientific terms and offers the possibility of illustrating to the students how competitions and debates are conducted in modern science, which appears important in a period in which science is contested by antiscientific movements.

波义耳、惠更斯和水的 "异常悬浮 "现象

我们讨论的实验旨在追溯波义耳和惠更斯在 17 世纪进行的一些真空实验。我们的重点是惠更斯在 1662 年报告的水的 "异常悬浮"。通过我们的重新审视，可以讨论波义耳和惠更斯所取得的结果之间的明显对比。这场争论是最早以科学术语进行的争论之一，为向学生们展示现代科学是如何进行竞争和辩论提供了可能，这在科学受到反科学运动质疑的时期显得非常重要。

期刊介绍： Physics Education seeks to serve the physics teaching community and we welcome contributions from teachers. We seek to support the teaching of physics to students aged 11 up to introductory undergraduate level. We aim to provide professional development and support for teachers of physics around the world by providing: a forum for practising teachers to make an active contribution to the physics teaching community; knowledge updates in physics, educational research and relevant wider curriculum developments; and strategies for teaching and classroom management that will engage and motivate students.
