Cuando Einstein se sentía bloqueado mientras trabajaba en la relatividad general, cogía su violín y tocaba música de Mozart hasta que volvía a conectar con lo que él denominaba la «armonía de las esfe...
Concepts have meaning only if we can point to objects to which they refer and to the rules by which they are assigned to these objects.85 In other words, for a concept to make sense you need an operat...
