¿Qué constituye exactamente un átomo? ¿Cómo y por qué se formó el universo a la existencia y cómo terminará todo esto? ¿Qué partículas subatómicas van a constituir el modelo estándar? Este ensayo sirve como punto de entrada a la física nuclear y contiene muchas referencias útiles para otros trabajos sobre este y otros temas relacionados. El ensayo también se ocupa de cosas fascinantes.

FOR NON-EXPERTS: Get an accessible introduction to quantum computing as a mathematician explains quantum algorithms, quantum entanglement, and more. Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics and computer science!

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe.

A bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. In this important new book, David Deutsch, an award-winning pioneer in the field of quantum computation, argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe.

Jimena Canales desgrana en este libro uno de los aspectos más desconocidos y fascinantes de la historia de la ciencia. Porque son estos siervos imaginarios y ocultos los que han ayudado a desvelar los secretos de la entropía, la herencia, la relatividad, la mecánica cuántica y otras maravillas científicas, y son ellos los que siguen inspirando hoy los avances en los ámbitos de la informática, la física y la inteligencia artificial.

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity. What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space...

Книга британского физика и философа Дэвида Дойча, одного из создателей концепции квантовых вычислений, наглядно демонстрирует, что эпоха великих философских систем вовсе не осталась в прошлом. Автор выстраивает целостный и согласующийся с научными знаниями ответ на один из самых фундаментальных философских вопросов: какова подлинная природа реальности.

A biologist argues that simplicity is the guiding principle of the universe Centuries ago, the principle of Ockham’s razor changed our world by showing simpler answers to be preferable and more often true. In Life Is Simple, scientist Johnjoe McFadden traces centuries of discoveries, taking us...

En este audiolibro, Luis Ruiz de Gopegui nos ofrece una gran variedad de contenidos sobre asuntos científicos generales y de actualidad, como por ejemplo la explicación del funcionamiento del bosón de Higgs, del segundo principio de la termodinámica o la teoría de la relatividad de Einstein, todo de un modo cercano y amable para el disfrute del lector que tenga curiosidad e interés por ampliar sus conocimientos científicos.

Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all - from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel.

Enrique Joven, astrofísico, tras la experiencia que da el observar durante muchos años las estrellas, ha escrito una historia de los astrónomos. En el contexto en el que vivieron y observaron el cielo con pasión para intentar comprenderlo, rescatando sus increíbles hallazgos y sorprendentes vicisitudes.

La ciencia ficción nos permite visitar lugares que sólo podemos soñar ver: otros mundos, estrellas lejanas, galaxias enteramente nuevas. No todos los relatos se ocupan de la ciencia real que hay detrás de los viajes espaciales y otras empresas futuristas, pero la ficción puede ofrecer una perspectiva asombrosa de hasta dónde podrían llegar nuestras capacidades y de lo que soñamos con hacer.

All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced. Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way...

La filosofía de Berkeley niega la existencia de la materia. Según él, no existe el mundo material, solamente la experiencia, de modo que, cuando algo no se ve, es que no existe. Entonces, ¿cómo es que subsiste el mundo? Pues porque lo sustenta la percepción constante de un Dios que todo lo...

A Russian dissident, a Jesuit priest, and an American mule skinner are but a few of the bold visionaries who crafted the scientific story of cosmic origins. The collective insights of these and numerous creative thinkers advanced human understanding from mythology to mathematics, yielding falsifiable alternatives to ancient folklore and campfire tales. Listening to the Big Bang tells the dramatic human story—filled with colorful characters, unsung catalysts, and glorified heroes—which made the Big Bang the leading cosmological theory.

In Zero, science journalist Charles Seife follows this innocent-looking number from its birth as an Eastern philosophical concept to its struggle for acceptance in Europe, its rise and transcendence in the West, and its ever-present threat to modern physics. 

A microscopic worm has 959 cells. The Milky Way galaxy contains roughly the same number of stellar nursery cavities. The two are separated by twenty-four orders of magnitude in size—yet their proportions match almost exactly. This is not the only such pair. From protons to stars, from bacteria to galactic structures, from cities to the cosmic web, the same organizational pattern keeps repeating across forty-two orders of magnitude. A 200,000-trial statistical test of seven such pairings returned p = 0.000055—odds of about 1 in 18,000.

From the 18th century vicar who was the first to look up at the night's sky and suggest there was something very dark and extraordinarily heavy that was moving the stars, to the first actual photograph of a black hole, 250 years later, Jonas Enander has travelled the world, visited telescopes...

This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines. As real Artificial Intelligence (AI) begins to touch on all aspects of our lives, this long narrative history shapes how the technology is developed, deployed, and regulated. It is therefore a crucial social and ethical issue. Part I of this book provides a historical overview from ancient Greece to the start of modernity. Part II focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries in which a greater density of narratives emerge alongside rapid developments in AI technology.
