Ciencia: Los pájaros se orientan con la física cuántica y el día que Hawking perdió su apuesta (Paperback)

In a jargon-free and compelling manner, this study examines the history of, and advances in, quantum theory, analyzing the implications of new models in the quantum mechanics paradigm on the microscopic and macroscopic worlds and everything in between. In the pages of this book, readers will learn about the Higgs field and the Higgs boson; symmetry, supersymmetry, and string theory; universal expansion and galactic collisions; exoplanets; and, of course, the day Stephen Hawking lost a $100 bet. Anyone interested in learning more about how the universe works--whether or not they have any previous scientific knowledge--will find this a tremendously engaging resource.
