Baggott, J. E.

Summary: "In 1927, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began a debate about the interpretation and meaning of the new quantum theory. This would become one of the most famous debates in the history of science. At stake were an understanding of the purpose, and defense of the integrity, of science. What (if any) limits should we place on our expectations for what science can tell us about physical reality?"

Yo, Javier Santaolalla, veo partículas que surgen de una gran "explosión" hace miles de millones de años, que chocan y se transforman mientras se van agrupando por gravedad. Veo cómo se van creando cúmulos de materia en forma de nubes de gas, que dan lugar...

Despite its seemingly mysterious nature, quantum mechanics has a broad range of applications in fields such as chemistry, computer science, and...
