👉 Acknowledged experiments in various scientific fields have significantly advanced our understanding of the universe and human capabilities. In physics, the Michelson-Morley experiment (1887) famously aimed to detect the Earth's motion through the hypothetical "luminiferous aether," ultimately failing and leading to Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. In biology, the Hershey-Chase experiment (1952) demonstrated that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material by using radioactive labels to show DNA's role in virus replication. In psychology, the Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) explored the psychological effects of perceived power, revealing how situational factors can drastically alter behavior, though it was later criticized for ethical issues. These experiments, among others, have been pivotal in validating theories and pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
