Tiempo de incertidumbre

This book tells the fascinating story of how a group of authentic physics geniuses (Marie Curie, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, James Clerk Maxwell, Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Niels Bohr, among many others) definitively transformed our vision of the universe , from the most distant galaxies to the smallest particles of matter, and how, from this scientific revolution, discoveries and inventions have emerged that have changed our daily lives. The author masterfully explains how a group of great scientists related the speed of light to energy, discovered the surprising properties of radiation and described the mysterious behavior of the subatomic world. In a way that is as fascinating as it is illuminating, Tobias Hürter narrates the historical convulsions of those years, the network of scientific advances and the extraordinary gallery of its protagonists, in whom intelligence was often mixed with eccentricity, and friendship with rivalry.
