Science's 10 most beautiful experiments
A listing of the 10 most elegent physics experiments in recorded history, along with a nice explaination and animation for each.
My favorite is still the double-slit experiment, whose results are so counter-intuitive even to this day. This experiment is expanded into a whole new dimension in Brian Greene's book, The Fabric of the Cosmos
(amazon.com link). If you haven't read this book, I *highly* recommend it. It will take a few reads to really absorb it, but is well worth it.
