Petite histoire de l'Univers: du Big Bang à la fin du monde
Par Stephen Hawking. 2008
"C'est exactement ce que propose ce recueil de sept conférences sur le cosmos et la place que nous y tenons,…
avec cette idée que " la science devrait être compréhensible par tous et pas seulement par quelques spécialistes. " De la théorie de l'expansion de l'Univers à celle du Big Bang en passant par les trous noirs, la direction du temps ou les découvertes de Hubble, Hawking nous convie à un passionnant voyage." -- 4e de couvHistoire du monde en sept catastrophes
Par Hervé Ponchelet. 2007
"Si l'on rembobine le film de l'histoire du monde, de l'homme au Big Bang, tout s'enchaîne parfaitement bien. Par le…
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. À défaut de savoir où nous allons, sachons mieux d'où nous venons." -- 4e de couvEinstein in time and space: A life in 99 particles
Par Samuel Graydon. 2023
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 itSincère ou tricheuse?: roman (J'ai lu #3017.
