"One of the great insights of science is that the universe has an underlying order. The supreme goal of physicists is to understand this order through laws that describe the behavior of the most basic particles and the forces between them. For centuries, we have searched for these laws by studying the results of experiments. Since the 1970s, however, experiments at the world's most powerful atom-smashers have offered few new clues. So some of the...

¿En qué consiste ser mujer? ¿Depende de unas características objetivas, o basta con sentirse como tal?
En este libro, Kathleen Stock articula una crítica incisiva y sólidamente argumentada a la principal tesis de la identidad de género, según la cual el género que cada cual "siente" y se adscribe de forma subjetiva es más relevante que la realidad objetiva del sexo biológico, cuya existencia llega incluso a negarse.

Según Byung-Chul Han, no estamos ante una aceleración del tiempo, sino ante la atomización y dispersión temporal —a...

Silent, dry, and barren, Earth's 4.34-billion-year-old companion is essential to life on earth. Its gravity stabilized the Earth's orbit, and, as it once guided evolution, its tide stirring up nutrients that fostered complex life, it now influences everything from animal migrations and reproduction to the movements of plants' leaves....
