El Big Bang, la Inflación y la naturaleza de la ciencia
Había una canción de salsa muy famosa de Héctor Lavoe que decía “Todo tiene su final. Nada dura para siempre…”. Y es cierto.

Frequently, science teachers ask their students to draw a scientist so that they can get a sense of what students think and imagine about scientists. Thousands and thousands of drawings show the same stereotypical characteristics: a male scientist, white, dressed in a lab coat, usually a chemist mixing liquids and generating explosions, and a person that does not have any physical limitations.
