crónicas marcianas: The Martian Chronicles (Ray Douglas Bradbury, 1950) is a science fiction novel that recounts a colonization of the planet Mars in a chronology spanning from 1999 to the year 2026; Although this is just an excuse to portray postwar American society. Strictly speaking, it is not a novel but a collection of short stories; and according to legend Bradbury presented him thus to the publisher Doubleday Co, who rejected the material because they had many storytellers and were looking to release a novel. Back home he realized that most of his stories took place on Mars, at some future time, so he set them dates, ordered them, completed the saga with a few more stories and took it back to the publisher as if each story were a chapter of a novel. And then they accepted it. Spoiler alert for the example! ( It does not contain the phrase "Martian Chronicles" but it is the chapter that I liked the most, and I leave it for that. )
¿sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?: It is the Spanish version of the science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Philip Kindred Dick, 1968), set in a radiation-polluted dystopian world that has killed most animals, so they began producing artificial electrical versions, plus near-human androids, whose only noticeable difference from us is their lack of empathy. The story centers on android hunter Rick Deckard, who recognizes Andis using the Voigt-Kampff test and eliminates them when they are a threat to natural humans. The title of the novel refers to Deckard's obsession with buying a real sheep, as he has an electric one on his deck to fool his neighbors, because having an organic animal is a symbol of social status. At some point he begins to have doubts about the "humanity" of the androids he retires; And the novel leaves us the question as to whether they will also be able to dream of an electric sheep, as much as the hunter dreams of his real sheep, or whether they will perhaps have the dreams of an electric sheep, which is nothing more than a machine pretending to be alive. "He also thought about his need for a real animal. Once again the hatred inspired by his electric sheep was manifested, which he had to care for and attend to as if he were alive. "The tyranny of objects," he thought. She doesn't know that I exist. Like androids, he lacks the ability to appreciate the existence of another being. I had never thought before about the similarity between electric animals and andis. An electric animal was an inferior form, a robot of lesser quality. Or vice versa, an android was a highly developed version of the pseudo-animal. He found both ideas repugnant. » ( Philip K . Dick )

blade runner: Ridley Scott's 1982 film, based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ( Philip K . Dick, 1968), which later became a franchise.

mogambo: Although this word has no meaning in Spanish, it became popular thanks to the film Mogambo (John Ford, 1953) and the anecdotes it generated. In Spain he highlighted the ridiculous moralizing of Franco's censorship, which to avoid showing in the film an adultery between the characters of Clark Gable, Grace Kelly and Donald Sinden made the latter two pass in the dubbing as brothers instead of husbands. . . turning the relationship into incest. In Argentina a parody of the film was made in a radio theater, from which came the term "gorilla" to call those who then opposed the government of President Juan Domingo Perón. The origin of the word mogambo has a lot of myth, it is said to be Swahili ("Swahili"), but there is no agreement on what it means since some sources translate it as "passion", others as "park rangers", and others simply as "talk". A legend assures that it is not an African language, but a deformation of the name of the Hollywood nightclub 'Mocambo', which actually does have a Bantu origin, but came through Portuguese: mocambo is a hut or even a group of precarious dwellings that formed the kilombo ("village of freed slaves or fugitives in Brazil during the nineteenth century").
el proyecto andrómeda: It is the Spanish name of a science fiction film whose original title is A for Andromeda ( "A of Andromeda", John Strickland , 2006 ) which is a remake of a BBC miniseries with the same name, from the year 1961. Both say that a radio telescope picks up an intelligent signal from the Andromeda Nebula, and by deciphering it scientists find instructions to create a supercomputer. Once built his artificial intelligence learns everything about humans and clones a woman who serves him to interact with people and offer them technical, medical, economic solutions in exchange for more power, until it is known that his purpose is to eliminate humans and replace them with a superior species. The alien plan is thwarted when they can destroy the computer and the clone named Andromeda assimilates feelings as well, so humanity is saved. The name of this entity is not accidental, and although it is justified by the origin of the sign it also has a meaning in Greek of "who thinks for men and governs them", but also "protects them".
romer: It is surely a reference to the "Romer model" in the theory of "endogenous growth". Paul Romer argues that economic development occurs from within the model, through human capital, knowledge, prior investment in education; and not so much of external factors or of the relationship between companies or institutions in the same sector.
euler-lagrange: Although it has other applications, the Euler-Lagrange equation allows to represent the physical behavior of particles according to Newtonian theory using kinetic calculations instead of vector ones. The name is a tribute to the mathematicians Leonhard Paul Euler and Joseph-Louis Lagrange, who contributed to its development in the eighteenth century.

voigt-kampff: Is it the name of a test mentioned in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip Kindred Dick, 1968). In fiction, it was developed to check the lack of empathy in androids trying to pass for humans, as that would be the only noticeable difference. It is a mixture of Turing test with polygraph that andis hunters (organic androids) use to distinguish and eliminate them. The surnames are fictional, and in the novel refer to the creator of the Voigt scale and Lurie Kampf, who perfected it. See Voight-Kampf.
prueba de turing: It is a test devised by the mathematician, cryptographer and computer scientist Alan Mathison Turing in the mid-twentieth century to check if a computer could be equated in intelligence to a human. It started from the assumption that if a person chats with another and with an artificial intelligence he should be able to distinguish who is human and who is not; But if it doesn't then the machine would have attained the human ability to converse like an intelligent being. See CAPTCHA , chatbot , Voight-Kampff .
venn: John Venn was an English mathematician whose best known contribution is a graphical method for representing propositions widely used in set theory and named in his honor as "Venn diagrams", which he presented in his book Symbolic Logic (1881).
