Lectures on Quantum Gravity
The 2002 Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute School on Quantum Gravity was held at the Centro de Estudios Cientificos (CECS),Valdivia, Chile, January 4-14, 2002. The school featured lectures by ten speakers, and was attended by nearly 70 students from over 14 countries. A primary goal was to foster interaction and communication between participants from different cultures, both in the layman’s sense of the term and in terms of approaches to quantum gravity. We hope that the links formed by students and the school will persist throughout their professional lives, continuing to promote interaction and the essential exchange of ideas that drives research forward. This volume contains improved and updated versions of the lectures given at the School. It has been prepared both as a reminder for the participants, and so that these pedagogical introductions can be made available to others who were unable to attend. We expect them to serve students of all ages well.
Antimateria, magia y poesía
El nuevo libro de los autores de Einstein para perplejos, Andrés Gomberoff y José Edelstein. En su nuevo libro, Andrés Gomberoff y José Edelstein reúnen un conjunto de veintitrés ensayos que se ofrecen como un muestrario, insuficiente pero necesario, de pequeñas joyas, hitos inverosímiles, momentos estelares que pueblan la construcción de la más humana de las actividades: la ciencia. Luego del éxito de Einstein para perplejos, esta nueva colaboración pretende celebrar aquellos instantes en los que la exploración científica se dejó llevar por una visión poética e integradora del cosmos, sea a través de la serena elegancia de la geometría o del proceloso torrente de la intuición.
Einstein para perplejos
Un absorbente y entretenido conjunto de ensayos que abordan la vida y obra de Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein es un modelo universal de la inteligencia, la humanidad y la imaginación. Sin embargo, su obra ha permanecido distante para el público general. En Einstein para perplejos, José Edelstein y Andrés Gomberoff buscan revertir esta situación. Para ello abordan el contexto histórico e intelectual en el que se originaron las ideas de Einstein y también el legado que dejó tras su muerte, mostrándonos en su tiempo y en el nuestro a un científico que, entre otras teorías, predijo hace cien años la existencia de ondas gravitacionales que recientemente han revolucionado a la astronomía. Este contundente libro sobre el premio Nobel nos instruye y divierte con un planteamiento para cualquier lector interesado en su pensamiento.
El instinto científico
En un mundo donde las ideas falsas y absurdas pueden arraigarse durante largo tiempo hasta transformarse, para algunos, en su percepción de la realidad, es crucial desafiar y desmantelar esos falsos saberes que nos rodean. En El instinto científico nos embarcamos con Andrés Gomberoff en un divertido, polémico y absorbente viaje intelectual que nos lleva a explorar los orígenes y fundamentos del pensamiento científico, proceso decisivo en la construcción de la cultura occidental y de la joya de su corona: la ciencia. ¿Su propósito? Demostrar que la actividad científica es producto de un instinto humano básico, y, por lo tanto, intrínseco a su naturaleza. Argumenta que el pensamien...
Física y berenjenas
Como una invitación a descubrir que la física y la matemática son materias cautivantes y no un mal recuerdo escolar, Andrés Gomberoff nos presenta este libro en el que todo lector podrá compartir el placer y la pasión por la ciencia. No sé por qué las ciencias resultan tan poco atractivas, incluso intimidantes para tantos. Intuyo, sin embargo, que se trata de una reacción que nosotros mismos hemos generado por la forma en que las enseñamos y comunicamos. Algo que podríamos llamar "el efecto berenjena": a la mayoría parece no gustarles, pero no podemos culpar a la berenjena. Es claro que solo puede deberse a la ignorancia que existe de cómo cocinarla», dice el doctor en física....
The Ninth Marcel Grossman Meeting (MGIXMM)
In 1975 the Marcel Grossmann Meetings were established by Remo Ruffini and Abdus Salam to provide a forum for discussion of recent advances in gravitation, general relativity, and relativistic field theories. In these meetings, which are held once every three years, every aspect of research is emphasized - mathematical foundations, physical predictions, and numerical and experimental investigations. The major objective of these meetings is to facilitate exchange among scientists, so as to deepen our understanding of the structure of space-time and to review the status of both the ground-based and the space-based experiments aimed at testing the theory of gravitation.The Marcel Grossmann Meet...
ICGG 2018 - Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Geometry and Graphics
This book gathers peer-reviewed papers presented at the 18th International Conference on Geometry and Graphics (ICGG), held in Milan, Italy, on August 3-7, 2018. The spectrum of papers ranges from theoretical research to applications, including education, in several fields of science, technology and the arts. The ICGG 2018 mainly focused on the following topics and subtopics: Theoretical Graphics and Geometry (Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, Kinematic and Descriptive Geometry, Computer Aided Geometric Design), Applied Geometry and Graphics (Modeling of Objects, Phenomena and Processes, Applications of Geometry in Engineering, Art and Architecture, Computer Animation and Games, Graphic Simul...
Tenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical & Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, & Relativistic Field Theories (In 3 Vols) - Procs Of The Mgio Meeting Held At Brazilian Ctr For Res In Phys (Cbpf)
The Marcel Grossmann meetings were conceived to promote theoretical understanding in the fields of physics, mathematics, astronomy and astrophysics and to direct future technological, observational, and experimental efforts. They review recent developments in gravitation and general relativity, with major emphasis on mathematical foundations and physical predictions. Their main objective is to bring together scientists from diverse backgrounds and their range of topics is broad, from more abstract classical theory and quantum gravity and strings to more concrete relativistic astrophysics observations and modeling.This Tenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting was organized by an international committee...
