Physics, quantum mechanics, scientific revolution, cultural change, civilization, history of physicsAbstract
The aim of this article is to show the complex and dynamic nature of physics, in a moment of huge historical significance for the scientific discipline that can be identified with the beginning of the twentieth century. Throughout the article, we offer different elements of analysis which talk about the revolutionary change of a scientific discipline, such as physics, with its own internal crises, but also immersed in a cultural and intellectual climate and a number of socio-economic restrictions that imposed new directions.
