Logan Sibley

Dr. Sibley loves teaching physics in the laboratory. In the lab, we discover that physics, while neat and tidy in a textbook, becomes intricate, stubborn, subtle and beautiful when experimenting. Even the simplest experiment (watching a pendulum swing) can lead to a deeper understanding of our world (measuring the gravitational acceleration on earth). As an experiment becomes more precise, we begin to see how the real world is much more complicated than the simplified textbook version we use to solve homework problems. This is where physics gets interesting, and where we start to push the envelope of our understanding. Ultimately, "[i]t is not by reading that science is sustained. It is by contact with the object - by systematic observation and experiment."
