Book about Experimental Physics?

AI Thread Summary
A comprehensive book detailing every experiment in physics from Classical Mechanics to Quantum Field Theory is impractical due to the vast number of experiments conducted. Instead, recommendations lean towards books that provide a historical perspective on experimental physics. Notable suggestions include works by A. K. T. Assis, which focus on the history of electricity and magnetism, and resources that offer insights into the evolution of experimental methods in physics. For those interested in a broader narrative of experimental physics, seeking popular science accounts may be beneficial.

Can someone recommend me a book that has all the experiments performed in physics from Classical Mechanics to Quantum field theory? (From the beginning of classical mechanics till today)

That would be a very large book.

There is no possible way that every experiment ever done in physics could be contained in one book.

What type of book are you looking for exactly? Are you looking for more of a popular science account of how experimental physics has changed over time?
 
Cf. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/new-free-book-on-amperes-experimental-researches.840650/ here. A. K. T. Assis has written some free books on the history of electricity and magnetism. See all Assis's books here.

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
