Para este libro he elegido textos sobre la ciencia durante el Renacimiento principalmente, en España e Hispanoamérica, pero no sólo acerca de ese periodo histórico. Cuando incluyo mis trabajos sobre comentarios de libros en la Biblioteca Complutense y de literatura y ciencia o farmacia, no me limito al Renacimiento. Me salgo del periodo por ambos extremos; tambien al analizar la terapeutica barroca, aunque las referencias a la renacentista son constantes

Este libro es una continuación de La Teoria del TODO por BEPE POPU, único en su género y como una Teoría del TODO con una interpretación completamente original. La teoría es simple y se puede poner en una hoja de papel, pero aqui esta explicado en un libro con algunos ejemplos reales derivados de la teoria y ayudan a comprender los efectos reales, observables pero inusuales, debido a la dificultad de comparacion con cualquier efecto conocido. La funcion de la mente humana es la comparacion, por lo que algunos efectos no han sido identificados hasta la fecha. Es una teoria que se explica de forma narrativa en 40 paginas. Todo en el libro tiene bases logicas y demostrables. Es la primera Teoria del TODO que no se refiere a los EFECTOS, en este libro las CAUSAS se suman al conocimiento HUMANO. Los efectos ya son conocidos y tenemos calculos, medidas, formulas, teoremas y mas, que no se niegan en esta teoria pero, no se hace referencia a ninguno de ellos, solo se explican las CAUSAS que faltan. Por ejemplo, se da una CAUSA y se explican las CAUSAS anteriores. En esta Teoria, el UNIVERSO no es el TODO, es solo una etapa del TODO. Esta teoria explica las CAUSAS de la ENERGIA, MASA, MASAS, ESPACIO, MOVIMIENTO, DESPLAZAMIENTO, INERCIA, GRAVEDAD, FOTON, ELECTRICIDAD, VIDA, HUMANIDAD, HUMANO, etc por lo cual ya conocemos los EFECTOS y como mencionamos tenemos casi todo en formulas matematicas. Este libro agrega las causas desconocidas que faltan a los EFECTOS conocidos. Este libro es para coleccionistas y si se aprueba la teoria presentada en este libro, el libro y la teoria seran de un valor inestimable y no me refiero monetario. Este es el fruto de 31 años de estudio de las CAUSAS y efectos presentados. No busque formulas en este libro, las formulas ya existen y algunas resultaran de esta teoria. En esta teoria se explica : El Universo es la MAQUINA mas simple de si misma, nosotros lo complicamos. Es una Teoria, una propuesta de verificacion y esta sujeta a aprobacion o rechazo.

A pandemia arrasou as vidas e as economías, deixounos unha sociedade máis vulnerable e, como herdanza, a Covid persistente. Algúns quixeron relativizar o impacto, pero outros tentamos axudar a combater o virus. A ciencia foi a taboa de salvacion a que nos agarramos en momentos de incerteza e angustia; protexeunos, achegounos ao benestar e, en definitiva, foi quen nos rescatou da pandemia. Este libro conta como reaccionamos e como o apoio a investigacion trouxo vacinas e terapias, aflorou a esperanza e comezamos a ver a luz ao final do tunel. Grazas ao aprendido, afrontaremos mellor os desafios no futuro, por iso compre coñecer a ciencia e aplicala a conciencia.
