Resumen de The new shape of reality
For years after the physicist Richard Feynman died, his 1970s yellow-and-tan Dodge minivan lay rusting in a garage near Pasadena CA. When it was restored in 2012, special effort was made to repaint the giant doodles that adorned its bodywork. They don't look like much--simple combinations of straight lines, loops and squiggles. But it is no exaggeration to say these Feynman diagrams revolutionized particle physics. Without them, they might never have built the standard model of particles and forces, or discovered the Higgs boson. Here, Ananthaswamy features an exquisite geometric structure that could put a bizarre twist on space-time.
