«El quark y el jaguar» is the popular science essay by Murray Gell-Mann, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
Murray Gell-Mann, Nobel Prize in Physics and discoverer of the quark, contrasts a simple particle with the complexity of a jaguar to explore how the fundamental laws of physics relate to the diversity of the natural world. The reflection extends to biology, economics, art, and psychology.
It belongs to the Metatemas collection as number 38; Spanish edition published in February 1995.
For readers interested in popular science, physics, and ideas about complexity across different fields of knowledge.
Murray Gell-Mann was an American theoretical physicist who played a preeminent role in the development of the theory of elementary particles. Gell-Mann introduced the concept of quarks as the fundamental building blocks of the strongly interacting particles, and the renormalization group as a foundational element of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Murray Gell-Mann received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions.
