摘要

The history of the Wu–Shaknov experiment (1949), and its later reinterpretation by Bohm and Aharonov as an early experimental signature of quantum entanglement, reveals the nonlinear nature of scientific practice. What began as a test of Wheeler’s prediction later became central to debates on the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox and subsequent Bell-type experiments. By foregrounding Chien-Shiung Wu’s experimental philosophy, this essay shows how scientific knowledge advances through reinterpretation, dissent, and the reframing of research questions, whilehighlighting the human and ethical dimensions of physis. It argues that training in the History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science is essential for fostering critically reflective, socially responsible, and ethically engaged scientists.
