Copenhague, 1932. Siete físicos, seis hombres y una mujer, asisten a un encuentro anual en el Instituto de Física Teórica. Ese año se conmemora el centenario de la muerte de Goethe y el grupo -que cada año pone en escena un pequeño “sketch”- decide representar Fausto en clave de parodia. Esta obra, auténtico nexo del libro, sirve para satirizar los conflictos internos de la física contemporánea: la lucha entre el bien y el mal, el posible uso destructivo de los avances científicos y el compromiso de la física en un contexto político europeo que preludiaba el peor de los...

It seems obvious that the practical training of Theoretical Chemistry is linked to the development of Computer Science. Actually, this particular science is everywhere, in all fields of knowledge, and this is relevant in Chemistry, because Theoretical Chemistry has been able to display its possibilities thanks to modern computers.
