The paradox of equality is that, as greater gender equality is achieved, the innate traits at the biological level with the greatest evidence. For this reason, “in countries with less equality, such as Saudi Arabia, women are around 45% of computer science graduates. In contrast, in countries like Sweden they are less than 15%”. this paradox [se ha constatado en 80 países](This relationship occurs in almost 80 countries.). In other words, betting on equality makes us more different. And now a new study confirms it, even, in preferences for chess.

Energy is the consequence of the action through interactions or exchanges of the four types of fundamental forces of nature: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear. The only universal bargaining chip is energy. Without energy transformation there is nothing. Even human beings are complex energy flow transformers. A trend that has been modeled by the law of maximum energy of the mathematician and chemist Alfred Lotka: “As long as there is matter and energy available (if used), natural selection will operate at all times to increase the total mass of the organic system, the rate of circulation of matter…
