reviewed The Angry Genie: One Man's Walk Through the Nuclear Age on April 06, 2016 The Angry Genie: One Man's Walk Through the Nuclear Age
Cosas que me gustaron: Muestra las distintas formas de trabajar de los cientÃficos de la época, como mediante trabajos en equipo y otros en solitario sacaron adelante, tanto teóricamente como experimentalmente, esta nueva rama de la fÃsica. Es una lectura llevadera, y aporta mucho sobre las distintas personalidades de los implicados.
Cosas que no comparto/no me gustaron:
Los últimos capÃtulos los sentà apresurados. El conflicto filosófico de Einstein versus la cantidad de avances que se estaban haciendo siento que pudo haber sido discutido más. Por otra parte, poco se menciona sobre las repercusiones de la fÃsica nuclear en tiempos de guerra.
Finalmente, la interpretación que se da sobre el principio de incertidumbre es lo que más me sacó del libro, recomiendo consultar otras fuentes para este tema especÃfico.
