Description: Conferencia plenaria del XIX Congreso Internacional de Acústica = Plenary Lecture of the 19th International Congress on Acoustics (ICA2007), Madrid, 2-7 Sep 2007.
[EN] Acoustics is one of the oldest branches of the physics and because of that many physicists think that there is no more acoustic science to develop and that the acousticians are presently playing only a technical role. This is a view that, if admissible for certain sectors of acoustics as for other sectors of physics, is completely erroneous referring to a so wide-ranging discipline. In fact, acoustics as the science of elastic waves should be considered as a parallel field to that of the electromagnetic waves and both are very open and active scientific and technological areas.
It would be a very pretentious and risky task to foresee the future of the acoustics for the 21st Century, as the title of this lecture suggests. Such title has been taken from the ambitious motto of the ICA2007MADRID, but this lecture will only try to offer a contribution to the perspectives of the acoustics for the following years bearing in mind the main emergent topics which presently focus the attention of the acousticians.
[ES] La Acústica es uno de los campos más antiguos de la Física y por esto muchos físicos creen que se trata de un campo científicamente cerrado en el que los acústicos realizan solo tareas técnicas. Esta visión que podría ser admisible para ciertos sectores de la Acústica, como para tantos otros de la Física, es completamente errónea cuando se refiere al conjunto de una tan amplia disciplina. De hecho, la acústica como ciencia de las ondas elásticas debe ser considerada un campo paralelo al de las ondas electromagnéticas y ambos constituyen áreas abiertas y muy activas científica y tecnológicamente.
Sería una tarea muy pretenciosa y arriesgada prever el futuro de la acústica en el siglo XXI como el título de esta conferencia sugiere. Este titulo se ha tomado del ambicioso lema del ICA2007MADRID, pero esta conferencia tratará solamente de ofrecer algunas perspectivas de la acústica para los años venideros sobre la base de los principales temas emergentes que actualmente focalizan la atención de los acústicos.
