El tiempo es relativo, la gran frase de Albert Einstein que todo el mundo ha escuchado antes pero nadie sabe qué significa. Este concepto y otros explicados en este gran libro, la realidad no es lo que parece. Arrancamos con otro episodio de Bibliotequeando. Como siempre, les habla su anfitrión, Ricardo Lugo, arroba Bibliotequeando en las redes.

This is the first book, I think, so scientific that I bring you summarized. It is a topic that caught my attention. The universe, physics, of course, very complicated topics, topics that I do not understand very well. But this book by Carlo Robelli, the reality is not what it seems, was the best in explaining it in colloquial terms. And I think the reason why this book has been so successful and so popular, let's say, in people who don't know about physics. There are other books that are more popular, more respected, perhaps by physicists and scientists. This is a book that the ordinary person can read because he takes you through the history of knowledge.
He doesn't start with the theories, as Stephen Hawking does in his book, David Deutsch. He starts from Aristotle, from Isaac Newton, until much before, Democritus. And it explains to us how we human beings thought the world was, and how little by little we were advancing and realizing how things were changing. And by doing that, it helps you to have logic in your thinking, to understand, ah, ok, this theory breaks this for x reason. Or this Newton's theory, in truth, I did know that something was missing, and Einstein was the one who discovered what that hole was. It's a... In truth, it is not only a science book, but it is a humanitarian book, let's say, of our knowledge as a race and how we have advanced and still what we lack.
I will try to explain it in the most, as I said, colloquial possible, more normal, without falling into too many details, since it is a fairly complicated topic, but it is quite informative and gives you an understanding of the true reality. of the world we live in. So let's start with this summary. Democritus came, and Democritus was even more radical, even more intelligent, in fact, because he sought to answer how the world was created. Anaximander was answering, let's say, things from the science of the planet, evolution, a little bit of botany, photosynthesis, rain, but Democritus starts to ask himself questions about where we come from, and he discovers that there are substances in the world that are atoms,
He already knew this, long before the discovery of the atom, without the need to have the tools of modern physics, he already had the idea that everything was made up of particles indivisible. And for you to have a radical idea of what this concept is, today if you ask your chemistry teacher who discovered that, he will tell you John Dalton, who was an English scientist, English chemist, sorry, in the years 1766 and 1844, more or less, let's say in the time of George Washington, Simon Bolivar, in that time, that is, 200 years ago, 250 years ago, it was discovered, in quotes, the existence of atoms.
