The boiling point: the stubborn persistence of some myths
The history of the boiling point of water as a thermometric fixed point is an excellent example of how tortuous the real process of building scientific knowledge can be, as opposed to its frequent idealized portrayal as a linear progression.

La historia del punto de ebullición del agua como punto fijo termométrico es un excelente ejemplo de lo tortuoso que es el proceso real de construcción del conocimiento científico, en contraposición a su frecuente presentación idealizada como una progresión lineal. En este artículo se presenta un resumen de la misma basado en la obra del investigador y filósofo de la ciencia Hasok Chang (Departamento de Historia y Filosofía de la Ciencia, Universidad de Cambridge), se discuten algunas de sus lecciones epistemológicas, y se la utiliza para ejemplificar cómo la historia de la ciencia puede enriquecer su enseñanza y contribuir a erradicar falsas concepciones comunes entre el público en general e incluso en la comunidad científica no especializada.
