La imagen de la naturaleza en la física actual

Synopsis of La imagen de la naturaleza en la física actual

«La imagen de la naturaleza en la física actual» is the scientific essay by Werner Heisenberg published by Orbis in paperback (153 pages, in Spanish).

Heisenberg traces the evolution of classical physics up to relativity and quantum mechanics, and explains how these changes affect the image of nature. Heisenberg argues that the observer is part of the physical phenomenon and analyses the philosophical consequences of a science that no longer offers an objective description of the world.

For readers interested in physics, the history of science and the philosophical implications of scientific knowledge.
