La lira desafinada de Pitágoras

Quantum-like structure is present practically everywhere. Quantum-like (QL) models, i.e. models based on the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and its generalizations can be successfully applied to cognitive science, psychology, genetics, economics, finances, and game theory. This book is not about quantum mechanics as a physical theory. The short review of quantum postulates is therefore mainly of historical value: quantum mechanics is just the first example of the successful application of non-Kolmogorov probabilities, the first step towards a contextual probabilistic description...

La cuestion de si nos encontramos o no solos en el universo sigue siendo uno de los enigmas mas fascinantes de la ciencia. Los conocimientos cientificos acumulados, a pesar de revelarnos que existen miles de millones de galaxias y, probablemente, billones de billones de planetas, sugieren que, a efectos practicos, es probable que estemos solos en el universo. De esto habla este libro. En particular, explicaremos por que no es probable que en el universo conocido pueda existir vida basada en una quimica diferente a la nuestra. Visitaremos tambien el extraordinario origen de la Luna, que...

Following the overthrow of the classical world picture by the findings of quantum mechanics, physicists have proposed a broad gamut of alternative worldviews. The Quantum Enigma begins with the major recognition that each of these suffers from a certain residual Cartesianism that has been smuggled in unconsciously. It turns out that the moment this hidden and problematic premise is discarded, quantum theory begins to make sense in a way that it never has before. As the author shows, it is now possible, for the first time, to integrate the findings of quantum physics into a worldview that...
