White Initiation Dresses 2010

"The rigor in science journalism is increasing, is making its way into society, becoming a necessity." This is how Professor Manuel Lozano Leyva has inaugurated the series of lectures and activities that the cicCartuja has prepared for the Science Week 2010 (see previous post). It also cited the radio as the best means of scientific publication.

In his lecture titled Ten discoveries that changed the world view , which students have attended the School of Communication, presented the ten most important scientific discoveries (personally) of the universe. It has done so in a meaningful way: reducing scale from highest to lowest, ie the galaxies started and ended at zero and infinitesimal.

also worth noting here that Lozano is not only a great physicist, but also a great promoter (currently participating in the program's scientific gathering A life that are two days of in Montserrat Domínguez Cadena SER , and made several informative lectures and conferences like this, not to mention more curriculum-).

Ten discoveries that have reported are:

Milky

1 . Galaxies are the basic pillars of the universe and the stars.

here talks about the discoveries of Galileo , Kant and Hubble , among others. The latter who first discovered the telescope that bears his name.

2. Plate tectonics.

This theory equivalent to quantum mechanics because it explains everything (in this case the geological phenomena).

3. The origin of species.

The natural selection was discovered by Darwin and Wallace (independently) and was a breakthrough in the process of understanding the living (then there was the theory of Lamarck ).

4. The blood circulation.

This discovery made the medicine go from being an art to a science.

5. The Rosetta stone .

When Napoleon invaded Alexandria, he found this stone, which meant a breakthrough in the humanities, was the first language dictionary.

6. Microorganisms.

With the discovery of these, it was research in the field of disease (among other matters).

7. Genes (Discrete changes). With

Mendel and peas, we now understand the complex science of DNA.

8. Atoms.

According to Lozano, the atoms assume a probability distribution of presence.

9. The symmetry in the microcosm.

The discovery of symmetry at the microscopic scale, assumes that there is something rather than nothing.

10. From zero to infinitesimal.

Zero is nothing. The infinitesimal is the difference between nothing and a little (as little as you like, but non-zero).

Unfortunately I can not dwell on this interesting conference, but I can say goodbye the same way as it has Lozano Leyva: with a quote from Napoleon (1980).

do not know a better way of living to devote to know the nature.
