  • Overview

    El investigador y divulgador de referencia en física cuántica nos adentra en el misterio más fascinante de la ciencia.

    ¿Qué es el tiempo? Pocos temas han fascinado más a científicos, filósofos e incluso artistas a lo largo de la historia. Siglos después, la física no tiene aún una respuesta definitiva para esta cuestión; de hecho, el debate está más vivo que nunca.

    Sin embargo, la física actual ha revelado propiedades sorprendentes del tiempo, aspectos de su naturaleza que chocan frontalmente con nuestro sentido común.

    En este ensayo iluminador, el profesor Alberto Casas viaja desde los trabajos de Newton y Einstein a las películas de Christopher Nolan, pasando por la teoría de la relatividad, la física cuántica y el concepto de entropía. Este recorrido nos llevará a reflexionar sobre eventos extraordinarios, como el Big Bang; y sobre otros mucho más corrientes, como una piedra que cae en un estanque.

    Y nos llevará a plantearnos el que es, tal vez, el mayor interrogante de todos: ¿es el paso del tiempo algo real... o es una ilusión?

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    This quantum physics researcher and communicator takes us inside the most fascinating mystery in science.

    What is time? Few subjects have enthralled more scientists, philosophers, and even artists throughout history. Centuries later, physics doesn’t have a definite answer to this question. In fact, this debate is raging more than ever.

    However, physics today has actually revealed the amazing properties of time, aspects of its nature that collide headfirst with our common sense.

    In this enlightening essay, professor Alberto Casas goes from Newton’s and Einstein’s works, to Chistopher Nolan’s movies, through the theory of relativity, quantum physics, and the concept of entropy. This path will make us reflect on extraordinary events, such as the Big Bang, and much more common ones, like a rock tossed into a pond.

    And it will make us ponder the greatest issue of all: Is the passing of time real? Or is it an illusion?
