Water-filled telescopes (1401.5585v1)

Published 22 Jan 2014 in physics.hist-ph, astro-ph.SR, and physics.pop-ph

Abstract: In this short note we discuss the case of the thought experiments on water-filled telescopes and their realizations during 18th and 19th century. The story of those instruments shows that the scientific progress occurs in a curious way, since there was no stringent reason for the construction of a water-filled telescope.
