Bohr y la teoría cuántica

The Big Idea: Scientists Who Changed the World

by Paul Strathern

“Los científicos y sus descubrimientos” es una fascinante colección de libros de divulgación científica dirigidos tanto a especialistas como a profanos. La ciencia alcanza su punto culminante cuando se producen los grandes descubrimientos. Cada título de esta colección analiza en profundidad uno de esos grandes momentos que han contribuido a aumentar el acervo científico de la humanidad y a los hombres y mujeres que han logrado cambiar completamente nuestra concepción del universos y el lugar que en él ocupamos. Los descubrimientos de Niels Bohr en el campo de la teoría cuántica llevaron a avances monumentales en la física y en nuestra comprensión de la estructura atómica. Bohr ganó el premio Nobel por su labor en 1922 y sus ideas, aún hoy, siguen impulsando a la física hacia nuevos descubrimientos. ¿Pero qué es la teoría cuántica? La mayoría de nosotros no entendemos ni los conceptos más básicos aunque en ella reside la clave para comprender realidades tan complejas como los agujeros negros o la bomba atómica. Bohr y la teoría cuántica presenta un brillante relato de la vida y obra de Bohr, y ofrece una explicación clara y accesible del significado e importancia de su descubrimiento y de lo que implica para nuestras vidas y para el futuro.

Reviews

[Larsen Puch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una breve introducción a la vida de Bohr y sus aportes científicos. Información sintética, fluida, interesante y entretenida. Ideal para legos en la materia.

[Manoela Gonçalves Lens · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bohr e a teoria quântica em 90 minutos, de Paul Strathern, apresenta de forma leve e bem-humorada a vida e as ideias de Niels Bohr. Em linguagem acessível, o livro explica como o físico revolucionou a ciência com o modelo atômico e a interpretação de Copenhague, mostrando o impacto da mecânica quântica no nosso entendimento do universo.
Uma leitura bem rapidinha, introdutória e inspiradora para quem quer conhecer um pouco do fascinante mundo da física.

This book was interesting introduction to Bohr and his work with quantum theory. It is very brief, but it does a good job outlining the important events in both his work and personal life. It then also gives some suggestions to other biographies or quantum theory publications if you'd like to continue resign about it.

It's a nice little toe in the water kind of book.

A coleção "Cientistas em 90 minutos" é ótima para lhe introduzir ao feitos de algum notável pesquisador. É um ótimo livro pra quem deseja, em nível introdutório e conceitual, aprender sobre os primórdios da teoria quântica e sobre um de seus principais fundadores.

Una buena biografía y resumen de sus aportes científicos pero en el título dice 90 minutos pero leí el libro en 70. Quiero un reembolso

Bohr o maior fofoqueiro de toda a história da ciência kkkkk
Admiro muito o trabalho dele

3.5⭐️
Considero que es una buena recopilación de las informaciones al rededor de la vida y obra de Bohr…

[Muthumanimaran Vetrivelan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book tells us the brief biography of Nobel laureate Neil's Bohr from his birth to death. It takes you to his personal life and interesting moments such as how he came up with the idea of atomic model, his rapport with great legends such as Einstein, Heisenberg and Rutherford, etc.
Neils Bohr the first son of Christian Bohr, chemist, Nobel laureate, Born on 1885 in Copenhagen. Niels Bohr had a young brother named Harald Bohr, who became a mathematician and also a football player, played for Danish national team in Olympics. Niels Bohr also played many matches for academic Football club as goal keeper with Harald Bohr.
Niels who is half Danish and half Jew flee to scotland when Hilter came into power in Germany, and flew away to America and worked in Manhattan project at Los Alamos with Feynman, Compton and other famous physicists under the leadership of Oppenheimer. After the first Atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he became worried for what he has done, then he started campaigning against it.
This is the best book to know about life of Neils Bohr, if you were very less know about him.

Empecé a leer este libro como primera aproximación a la física cuántica, para comprender el ABC, pero se centra más en la vida de Niels Bohr, premio nobel de física en 1922.

Con todo, disfruté de la lectura y de aprender algo más de este gigante de la física. Su vida está contada de forma amena y divertida y es de gran interés.

Una excelente explicación de la teoría cuántica para los profanos. Tiene datos interesantes y curiosos de Niels Bohr que lo hacen ver como una persona normal. Recomendable.
