jeu de l'évolution biologique, chimique et physique, l'homme apparaît comme l'ultime et imparable aboutissement d'un "projet" en germe dans l'explosion primordiale voici 13,7 milliards d'années. Illusion d'optique ! En réalité, du Big Bang à Homo sapiens, ce ne fut qu'une suite de hasards et de nécessités qui fait de nous, et du monde tel qu'il est, plutôt une incongruité, ou si l'on préfère, un "miracle". De l'explosion originelle, qui manqua de faire "pschitt" comme un pétard mouillé, jusqu'à l'éruption cataclysmique d'un volcan géant à Sumatra, voilà 80 000 ans, qui faillit bien nous rayer de la saga du vivant, Hervé Ponchelet a identifié sept catastrophes principales grâce auxquelles, paradoxalement, nous devons, en dépit de tout, d'être là. C'est cette histoire vraie qui est ici contée, débarrassée des croyances mais intégrant les convergences entre science et mythes, replaçant les découvertes et les découvreurs dans leur contexte et l'évolution des idées, précisément informée mais conçue et rédigée à l'intention du public le plus large.

Walter Isaacson's Einstein meets Craig Brown's 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret , in this innovative biography of the famous physicist…
told in ninety-nine dazzling vignettes. Most of us would agree that Albert Einstein's name is synonymous with "genius" and that his likeness is often used as a shorthand for all scientists, appearing everywhere from cartoons to textbooks. He has become more myth than man. That being the case, how best to capture his essence? In Einstein in Time and Space , talented young science journalist Samuel Graydon answers that question with an illuminating mosaic—99 intriguingly different particles that cumulatively reveal Einstein's contradictory and multitudinous nature. Glimpsed among these shards: a slacker who failed every subject but math, a job seeker who couldn't get hired, a lothario who courted many women, and a charmer who was the life of the party. As brilliant as he was inconsistent, Einstein was simultaneously an avid supporter of the NAACP and the fight for civil rights and someone capable of great prejudice. He was loved by many, known by few, and inspirational to a generation of young physicists. Graydon reveals every corner of Einstein's world: the false reporting that rocketed Einstein to fame nearly overnight, his effect on people he met merely in passing, even the remarkable posthumous journey of the famed physicist's brain. Entertaining, comforting, bolstering, and shocking, Einstein in Time and Space is the unique story of a man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within itDaily reflections

Par Sheila Walsh. 2023
