¡Muy buena fuente de información de Martin Gardner. :-)

Gracias Santiago. Realmente me quedé sin palabras, y me pareció que no había mejor homenaje que recordar la obra que nos deja. Ahora mismo miro mis libros y veo inmediatamente media docena de Gardner, junto con los de otros genios de la divulgación científica: Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould...

Hola Antonio:

Y cierto. Son los más carismáticos como Martin. El problema, es que, ahora, hemos perdido a todos los que daban lo mejor de lo mejor de la cultura científica.

Todos ellos, como Sagan; Asimov y otros muchos, ya no están ni en la faz de nuestro planeta.

Son y seguirán siendo los mejores que han dado en el clavo de la cultura científica cosmológica y astronómica.

Slds...
