La hechicera, el gato y el demonio

How does an athletics competition between a tortoise and the champion Achilles have to do with our notion of infinity? To what extent do the movements of a 19th century demon affect when it comes to cooling our computers? Can two brothers swimming in a river help explain the special theory of relativity?With the same entertaining and didactic style that he already used in From Archimedes to Einstein, the ten most beautiful experiments in the history of physics, the famous nuclear physicist Manuel Lozano Leyva once again accompanies the reader in this new book on a humanist, didactic journey. and creatively through the twelve most ingenious and productive imagined experiments in the history of physics, those whose theory (and paradoxes) best explain our world without even needing to be tested empirically.
