Esta serie fusiona magistralmente ciencia y fantasía, explorando cómo las leyes de nuestro universo se manifiestan en un mundo regido por la magia y el absurdo. Sigue a un elenco único de personajes mientras profundizan en la física, la astronomía y la naturaleza misma de la realidad. Es un viaje humorístico pero perspicaz para lectores que disfrutan de comentarios ingeniosos y conceptos científicos alucinantes presentados a través de una lente fantástica.
When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. The Universe, of course, is our own. And Roundworld is Earth. As the wizards watch their accidental creation grow, we follow the story of our universe from the primal singularity of the Big Bang to the internet and beyond
Acclaimed The Science of Discworld centred around an original Pratchett story about the wizards of Discworld.
They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. Can the God of Evolution come to humanity's aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book?
The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series deals with the really big questions: God, the Universe and Everything Else. Pratchett's brilliant new Discworld story JUDGEMENT DAY is annotated with very big footnotes (interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, science and philosophy.
