Description Concering Books El universo está dentro de nosotros (Plataforma Actual)

«Un relato elegante, instructivo y en ocasiones emotivo, libre de tecnicismos, sobre las poderosas influencias científicas, filosóficas y humanitarias que subyacen tras los impulsos personales de este prestigioso físico matemático. Lo recomiendo vivamente.»
Sir Roger Penrose, autor de El camino a la realidad

En esta obra personal, visionaria y fascinante, Neil Turok, uno de los principales físicos teóricos mundiales, explora los descubrimientos científicos transformadores de los tres últimos siglos, desde la mecánica clásica hasta la naturaleza de la luz, desde el extraño mundo de los cuantos hasta la evolución del cosmos. Con el tiempo, cada nuevo descubrimiento ha producido tecnologías que conllevan cambios de paradigma en la estructura de la sociedad. Ahora, afirma el autor, nos hallamos en el umbral de otra transformación importante: la revolución cuántica inminente que sustituirá nuestra insatisfactoria era digital. Ante este nuevo mundo feliz, Turok llama a reinventar creativamente la manera de desarrollar y compartir el conocimiento avanzado, y a hacer posible el acceso a los enormes depósitos de talento intelectual, todavía por explorar, del mundo en vías de desarrollo. La investigación, la enseñanza y la divulgación científicas son vitales para nuestra economía futura, a la vez que poderosas fuerzas para un progreso global pacífico.
Con una prosa delicada, profundamente sugestiva y muy inspiradora, El universo está dentro de nosotros aborda, por encima de todo, el futuro; el de la ciencia, el de la sociedad y el nuestro.

Critique Containing Books El universo está dentro de nosotros (Plataforma Actual)

This book is long on personal anecdotes and a bit shorter (than I wanted) on what quantuum physics actually might mean. Turok talks about quantuum computers, for example, but assumes that we all know how quantuum reality (is there such a thing?) will be applied to create the supercomputer of the future. Most of us need a bit more info on the technical challenges, and how these are being overcome.The limitations may say more about the limitations of the reader, of course. The science of today

The Universe Within: From Quantum to CosmosNeil Turok.I readily confess that I am not necessarily an optimist. When presented with a positive outcome in any given situation, I try to find ways it can go bad. Likewise, when someone paints a bleak picture of something, I try to find some good. I dont know what that makes me, probably annoying, but I generally think that the best and the worst outcomes of any complex situation are equally possible. Neil Turok, however, is clearly an optimist. He

This is a nice trippy book that swoops from formation of stars to the carbon and molybdenum in our bodies. There are many fascinating ideas and conjunctions, and it's fun to read. HOWEVER, right in the middle the author states, "Bodies are pulled to earth to a degree that is proportional to their mass.... Lighter animals accelerate less during a fall than do big ones for these same reasons."Wait a minute, this was shortly after a discussion of Galileo. Didn't he disprove this theory from the

Really 4 1/2 stars, because the author is repetitious in some parts. Loved this book. Although it was right at the edge of my ability to understand parts of it, it was fascinating. Every 10 years or so, I like to catch up with the latest developments in the quantum world. This book is based on this year's Massey Lectures, a Canadian institution that always delivers an in-depth, thoughtful look at an interesting topic by a speaker who is knowledgeable and good at communicating. This latest look

The Universe Within: From Quantum to Cosmos by Neil TurokI had not heard of Neil Turok before, but as a book from the Massey Lectures it was sure to be thought provoking.While not as in-depth as some of the more popular recent physics books, it does illuminate the names of some researchers and scientists that I had not encountered before.Turok is enthused about the potential of recent finds in the field, and the book is incredibly up-to-date with summations of the recent CERN discoveries about

An expansive look at what physics reveals to humanity, that manages to present a beautiful overview without completely shredding my brain. That said, it gets a point off for an odd and out-of-tune swipe at the Dawkins' brigade in the conclusion...as it chiding them for their bold temerity.

The history parts were really interesting, but I'm too far away from university to understand the physics in the book.
