Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions: What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at ninety percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? What if everyone only had one soulmate? What would happen if the moon went away? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators.

Un delicioso ensayo que nos adentra en las particularidades de nuestro bien más preciado: el tiempo. ¿Por qué algunas horas pasan volando mientras otras se alargan infinitamente? ¿Por qué la sensación del tiempo transcurrido se diluye inexorablemente ante el tedio y en cambio se desvanece en los momentos de gozo? Hace tiempo que la ciencia definió el tiempo como algo relativo y sin embargo sigue siendo nuestro bien más escaso. Lo prueba el hecho de que somos la generación que más tiempo tiene para sí misma y sin embargo vivimos subyugados por el ritmo incesante de las agujas del reloj.

Vier Forscher und ein unablässiges Hin und Her der Ideen – vor hundert Jahren entstand eine neue Wissenschaft, die die Grenzen der Vorstellungskraft sprengte: die Quantenphysik. Ihre Protagonisten: Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr und Werner Heisenberg. Sie ergründeten das Innere der Atome und rangen mit einer scheinbar einfachen Frage: Was ist Licht? – zu einer Zeit, in der Elektrizität erstmals die Städte erhellte und Kino und Fotografie ihren Siegeszug antraten. Thomas de Padova lässt die fieberhafte Suche nach Antworten anhand der Begegnungen der Forscher lebendig werden.
