Cases like those of Sonia Fernandez-Vidal o Guillermo Martinez they reconcile science and literature through a creativity that transfers between such disparate spaces as if they were simple communicating vessels.
In the case of the Argentine mathematician through their plots marked with their numerical destinations. For Sonia Fernandez-Vidal offering glimpses of Physics with capital letters, from the openly informative to a combination with fiction in which it has already won over many young readers.
The question is to take advantage of all this knowledge in an area in which Sonia shows off her doctorate (in addition to extensive experience in first-line institutions) and adapt it to new fictional spaces that, precisely because they are Physics, always have a place in her approach to laws and effects that normally escape us in their most surprising interiorities.

Breakfast with particles
Considering talking about a scientific aspect of one's professional domains has twofold difficulty. On the one hand, the complexity inherent to a subject like Physics; on the other hand, the easy fall into the assumption of general recognition of principles that, even if they are essential, people finally know.
But everything changes when things are considered for young people. Because a fluffy young brain is still capable of assuming any concept, even more so if it is reduced to its minimum expression and transformed into an interesting action, into a more attractive character. »If you decide to venture to browse through these pages, you will discover such a wonderful universe. as disconcerting. Quantum theory is one of the most beautiful and amazing in science.
The rules he follows are crazy compared to our daily lives. They are counterintuitive. When we enter the quantum world, our beliefs about reality, and also those of our daily reality, are put in check. Sonia Fernández-Vidal, writer and doctor in Quantum Physics, and Francesc Miralles, writer and journalist, invite us to a fun breakfast that will also be attended by Newton, Einstein, Heisenberg and other famous physicists in history.
Between muffins, toast, coffee with milk and orange juices, we will embark on a fascinating and revealing journey to the origins of the universe and we will learn what a particle accelerator is for, what the God particle is, how things can be in two places. at the same time ... and we will even try to understand the mysteries of existence.
How to explain quantum physics with a zombie cat
There is always time to learn new things in a subject as extensive as Physics, even more so in atomic systems, in underworlds for us that, nevertheless, are essential to understand effects, phenomena and consequences that in this book can even be learned to provoke and / or check ...
If you are one of those who think that knowing that time and space are actually the same is useless, or that the only thing a proton can tell an electron is to stop being so negative..., you have found the reading you needed! Did you know that teleportation is real? Or that sometimes an electron is likely to pass through a wall? That two particles can influence each other even if they are light years apart? And that quantum particles are like Clark Kent and hide their powers when scientists are observing them?
En How to explain quantum physics with a zombie cat You will discover that, although it may not seem like it, quantum physics is everywhere in our daily lives. And you will also learn …… the craziest and most amazing principles of quantum physics!… Experiments low cost what you can do at home!… that scientists are a little palla, did you know?... and that cats are not very normal either...
The door with the three locks
As far as fiction in Sonia's bibliography is concerned, it all began with this first installment of a saga that already firmly aims at the international. The adventures of its main character Niko, and all of his friends now make up an exciting trilogy where the kids learn about physical fundamentals of all kinds while enjoying the trip. The fantasy of this first part reminded me of that novel by Stephen King, entitled «22/11/63«. Because in both the protagonists can access other planes and face disturbing adventures, of which you cannot stop reading.
After receiving a mysterious message, Niko takes a new route to school and discovers a house he has never seen before. Solving a puzzle allows you to enter what will turn out to be a strange place where universes are born, there is a cat that appears and disappears, and it is possible to teleport. The Door of the Three Locks is the first novel that explains quantum physics (in a fun and understandable way) to the youngest, a quantum adventure that 25.000 readers of all ages have already enjoyed.
