Percy Williams Bridgman (1882–1961) was an American physicist who won the 1946 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on high-pressure phenomena. He is also renowned for his philosophical contributions, particularly operationalism, which argues that scientific concepts are defined by the operations used to measure them. His work profoundly influenced the philosophy of science and the practice of experimental physics.
