Sherlock Holmes es el personaje de películas y televisión que más ha sido personificado en la historia.

Holmes ha inspirado personajes en "El Mentalista","House", "Psych", "CSI", "Monk", "Law & Order", incluso en Batman. Y todos ellos son científicos.

Hola detectives. Yo soy Trace y estás viendo "D News".

A pesar de que Sherlock Holmes es un personaje ficticio, emociona a las personas con temas de lógica, razón y ciencia, lo cual no es una tarea fácil.

Hoy en día, más de 100 años después de su primera públicación, el personaje de Sherlock demuestra el uso de la ciencia puesta en acción.

Usa el método científico, sustituye corazonadas con la lógica, tipicamente práctica métodos fríos, obsesivos y antisociales y algunos han llegado a decir que sufre de autismo.

Este personaje de la época victoriana se hizó tan popular, en parte por sus historias convincentes y buena redacción,

pero también por la época y la naturaleza humana.

Durante muchos cientos de años, la ciencia ha sido practicada unicamente por aquellos parte de la clase privilegiada.

El famoso científico Charles Babbage inventó la máquina diferencial, la cual es como una de las primeras calculadoras.

Una de las primeras computadoras de la humanidad y una maravilla de la ingeniería.

Sin embargo, él logró todo esto en parte gracias a la riqueza de su familia.

La publicación de Sherlock Holmes por Sir Arthur Conan Doyle´s fue una combinación perfecta de lógica, razón, imaginación y defectos del personaje,

lo que le dió a Sherlock Holmes un equilibrio entre humanidad y accesibilidad que es poco común.
