What is Reddit's opinion of Gravity's Kiss: The Detection of Gravitational Waves (MIT Press)?

Popper is considered way out of date in contemporary philosophy of science departments, by the way.

Kuhn is much more highly regarded among the "classic philosophy of science" books.

I personally found the sociological study of science more satisfying for non practitioners, precisely because it's, well, based on observation of behavior. Seeing a detailed breakdowns of how specific people came to believe that specific objects merit being treated as "real" in the scientific context really helps.

Harry Collins is fantastic, for example, and absolutely does not come into it with the "science is all sexist bullshit and I'm here to debunk it" approach that alienated so many practicing scientists when engaged in by, say, Donna Haraway.

For example, Collins embedded himself in LIGO for years and was directly observing the process when gravity waves changed from "we really really suspect these exist" to "here is a specific example of a gravity wave".

So for people interested in wave propagation through "empty space", and the process of crossing the threshold from "theoretical thing" to "thing we treat as real", here's a very accessible and also academically serious account:
