“Michael Faraday著名的系列讲座《The Chemical History of a Candle》成为了有史以来出版的最成功的科普读物之一，堪称维多利亚时代通俗科学的经典之作。它也展现了Faraday这位由装订工学徒成长起来的科学家，如何成为一名非凡的科学传播者。该书于1861年首次出版，自此从未中断再版。涵盖了广泛的基础科学常识，其中大部分在今天仍具现实意义，《The Chemical History of a Candle》深入剖析了烛光背后的科学原理；这一熟悉而又复杂的

多得是呢。迈克尔·法拉第（Michael Faraday）的《蜡烛的化学史》（Chemical History of a Candle）尽管年代久远，却是一部通俗易懂的杰作。The Engineering Guy 在重现法拉第的工作方面做了很多贡献：http://www.engineerguy.com/faraday/
There's a hell of a lot more. Michael Faraday's "Chemical History of a Candle" is a very readable masterpiece on the subject, despite its age. The Engineering Guy has done much to revive Faraday's work: http://www.engineerguy.com/faraday/
或者是迈克尔·法拉第的杰作《the chemical history of a candle》，它不仅深入探讨了火焰的每个部分是什么，还深入探究了我们是如何知道它是什么的。https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14474/pg14474.txt 整本书读起来令人愉悦，但我真的很……
Or Michael Faraday's masterpiece "the chemical history of a candle", which deep-dives not only into what every part of the fire is, but also how we know what it is. https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14474/pg14474.txt The whole book is a delight to read, but I really…
……接下来是“……那我该怎么证明这一点？”第三步则是“我该如何向他人传达这一点？”在化学领域，迈克尔·法拉第的《The Chemical History of a Candle》就是一个绝佳的例子。YouTube 上的 EngineerGuy（Bill Hammack）对法拉第公开演示这些特性的过程做了一个极其精彩的还原。现在看来虽然平淡无奇、显而易见，但那是因为法拉第带我们……
…up with "... and how could I demonstrate that?" The third step is then "how do I communicate that to others?" In the domain of chemistry, there's a wonderful example of that in Michael Faraday's "The Chemical History of a Candle". YouTube's EngineerGuy (Bill Hammack) has a wonderful recreation of Faraday's public demonstration of these properties. It seems obvious and pedestrian now, but that's because Faraday introduced us…
（我觉得上面的评论是个反问修辞，但如果有人真想看看针对那些问题的严肃回答会是什么样，我强烈推荐迈克尔·法拉第的《the chemical history of a candle》。）
(I think the above comment is rhetorical, but if anyone wants to actually see what a serious answer to those questions might look like, I strongly recommend Michael Faraday's "the chemical history of a candle".)

……实际应用中的科学方法，即：观察、测量、假设（并建模）、检验、得出结论，最后在上述所有步骤上进行迭代，以完善假设并尽量减少误差。最后，迈克尔·法拉第的经典之作《The Chemical History of a Candle》是一部绝佳的素材，可以用来教自己/他人/学生/孩子如何深入地用科学方法思考任何事情——https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_History_of_a_Cand...…
…method in action viz. Observe, Measure, Hypothesize (and Model), Test, Draw Conclusions and finally, Iterate over all of the above to refine the hypothesis and minimize error. Finally, the classic The Chemical History of a Candle by Michael Faraday is an excellent source to teach oneself/others/students/children on how to think scientifically in depth about anything - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_History_of_a_Cand...…
