¡El detective más famoso del mundo se convierte en el mejor profesor de física en una serie de sorprendentes casos en los que la ciencia se vuelve loca y la naturaleza asesina!.

An incredibly entertaining read, Bruce deftly weaves together the characters from Conan Doyle with complex concepts from physics. As someone not familiar with relativity or quantum, I found some of it rather difficult to absorb. It was also a little difficult to marry the Victorian world of Sherlock Holmes with theories (such as the Many-Worlds theory) which are currently under debate today because they depend on facts that were learned far after Holmes' time. To try to handle these anachronisms, and since the stories of Holmes aren't always a good fit for very scientific cases, Bruce also introduces Doyle's other famous character, Professor Challenger. In fact, Challenger is the main character in over half the stories. I'm not particularly fond of Challenger in Doyle's works, so perhaps this was another reason why I found the stories slightly less enjoyable than Conned Again, Watson: Cautionary Tales Of Logic, Math, And Probability. However, Challenger, as a mad scientist and ego-maniacal theorist, was a fantastic fit for these stories. Fans of Challenger and/or popsci physics will adore this book. ( )
