Sull'Autore

Murray Gell-Mann was born on September 15, 1929 in Manhattan, New York. He received a bachelor's degree in physics from Yale University in 1948 and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951. His discovery of quarks, a concept in particle physics, earned him a Nobel Prize in mostra altro Physics in 1969. He wrote several books including The Quark and the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex. He has received several awards including the Dannie Heineman Prize, the Ernest O. Lawrence Memorial Award, the Franklin Medal, the Research Corporation Award, the John J. Carty Medal, and the Helmholtz Medal. He died on May 24, 2019 at the age of 89.

El quark y el jaguar : aventuras en lo simple y lo… di Murray Gell-Mann

Decepción. Yo creía que el libro iba a tratar sobre los quarks y su descubrimiento (por algo el autor fue quien tuvo la mayor parte del mérito) y resulta que el libro es un conjunto de visiones personales sobre complejidad y simplicidad de sistemas. EN algunos momentos se hace realmente ininteligible (al hablar de decoherencia en historias no detalladas con detalles integrados, sin ir más lejos). Hay partes buenas e interesantes; otras son imposibles. El libro no está mal pero no me ha llamado la atención.… (altro)

The Quark and the Jaguar : di Murray Gell-Mann

Substance: Ruminations over a large number of scientific topics, with biographical notes.
Style: Interesting and accessible.
NOTES:
(use for research in writing projects)
p. 182 on propagating misunderstandings
p. 211: multi-verse bubbles.
p. 264: on creativity
p. 270: Contains the true story of the greatest physics exam question ever: how do you measure the height of a building with a barometer? (Although Gell-Mann's book was not published until 1994, I first heard the story in a college physics class in 1970.)
p. 283: explaining irrational beliefs
p. 296: how maladaptive schema survive
p. 322: on irrational behavior and assumptions
p. 324: blinders in economic theory
Unfortunately, this book does not seem to contain the story of "the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect", which is referenced in Michael Crichton's essay, "Why Speculate?"; however, I know I have read the original story in some book in my library.… (altro)
