Los físicos y Dios

This book presents, in an objective and historical way, the religious ideas of the great physicists. Frequently, his theories are known but his biographical aspects are ignored. In particular, their theistic or atheistic thoughts are unknown, despite the fact that almost all of them have lived their beliefs passionately. Many times the religion of physicists has influenced the science they have done; others, the science they have done has influenced the beliefs of humanity. In both cases, it is necessary to know minimally these relationships of physicists and culture. What were the gods of Aristotle, Averroes, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Leibniz, Pascal, Newton, Euler, Laplace, Faraday, Maxwell, Boltzmann, Einstein, Planck, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, and so many others revered today as geniuses of physics? The historical perspective is also analyzed: the Greek, Arab and medieval civilizations, the religious orders, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the relativistic and quantum revolutions.
