- W4289720193 abstract "This chapter examines the challenge to a simplistic understanding of the no-miracle argument for scientific realism posed by William Thomson’s 1847 experimental confirmation that the freezing point of water is lowered by an increase in external pressure. It shows how this unexpected phenomenon had been predicted by William’s brother James on the basis of Carnot’s 1824 analysis of heat engines, and the success of the prediction was rightly seen as good evidence for a theory that was soon permanently abandoned as the formulation of modern thermodynamics replaced Carnot’s presumption that heat was conserved with the modern first law of thermodynamics. Though James’s argument makes real use of this falsehood, the quantitative difference between his account of the phenomenon and later ones turns out to be marginal. To demolish the no-miracle argument, a bigger miracle seems needed, one where a successful prediction hinges on bigger deviations from the truth." @default.
