Esta semana reflexionamos sobre la ciencia y la amistad. Para ello, Santi García Cremades nos habla de varios resultados matemáticos relacionados con las relaciones humanas: primero, que la humanidad está tan conectada que sólo cinco personas nos separan de cualquier otro ser humano de la Tierra; después, qué nos dicen las matemáticas sobre la estructura interna de los grupos de amigos; y finalmente, un estudio psicológico que sugiere que hay un límite máximo al número de amigos que podemos tener. En la segunda parte Alberto Aparici habla de una amistad heterodoxa entre dos personas muy heterodoxas: Richard Feynman y Jirayr Zorthián. Feynman es uno de los físicos teóricos más célebres del siglo XX, en parte por cómo convertía la física en una experiencia lúdica; Zorthián es un pintor y escultor idiosincráticamente bohemio conocido por sus murales monumentales. Ambos se conocieron en los ambientes intelectuales de la California de finales de la década de 1950, y ahí empezó una continua conversación sobre la belleza, el arte y si la ciencia podía aportar cosas a la experiencia artística. Feynman defendía que la ciencia es una puerta de entrada para encontrar belleza en lugares donde normalmente no la veríamos, y en el programa de hoy intentamos aplicar esas ideas a un sistema físico muy concreto: una nube solitaria en un cielo de verano. Si os apetece saber más sobre Richard Feynman, además de ese futuro programa que hemos prometido sobre su interpretación de la mecánica cuántica, podéis encontrar más material en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia.

I'm back, baby. I've been away traveling for podcasts and am excited to bring you new ones with Michael Levin, William Hahn, Robin Hanson, and Emily Riehl, coming up shortly. They're already recorded. I've been recovering from a terrible flu but pushed through it to bring you today's episode with Urs Schreiber. This one is quite mind-blowing. It's quite hairy mathematics, something called higher category theory, and how using this math (which examines the structure of structure) allows one manner of finding "something" from "nothing." Here, "nothing" means the empty set, and "something" is defined as fermions and even 11D supergravity. It's the first time this material has been presented in this manner. Enjoy.
