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?"

Summary: "Si cuando sales de noche a un sitio despejado levantas la cabeza y solo ves puntos de luz, te estás perdiendo la mejor parte de estar vivo. 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...

Summary: "Quantum mechanics gives us a picture of the world that is so radically counterintuitive that it has changed our perspective on reality itself, raising profound questions about concepts such as cause and effect, measurement, and information. Despite its seemingly mysterious nature, quantum mechanics has a broad range of applications in fields such as chemistry, computer science, and...
