Very excited about this. I think one of the most interesting periods that I hope you will end up talking about in this project is the time when the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was being developed. To vastly oversimplify, you see a physicists following the math, achieving very powerful mathematical models that match the data, and then being forced to do at least a bit of philosophy to try to understand what they had actually made.
Mmmm, yes, that's a fascinating fork in the road of science. Michael Frayn wrote an entire play about it, Copenhagen. Very successful play, too. Later filmed.
