Rencontres avec Anatole Abragam
Jean-Claude Pecker Quelques vieux souvenirs... 1942, 1943... C’est la guerre et l’occupation. à Grenoble, à l’Institut Fourier, René Fortrat enseigne la physique, le doyen René Gosse les mathématiques, comme le nouveau venu Marcel Brelot, chantre du bourbakisme. Nombreux sont les étudiants plus ou moins “réfugiés” qui se mêlent aux grenoblois. Des jeunes venus des beaux quartiers de la capitale, pour la plupart. Et trois ou quatre normaliens à qu…
O céu estrelado de Claude Lévi-Strauss
Le ciel étoilé de Claude Lévi-Strauss
« Et, penchés à l’avant des blanches caravelles, Ils regardaient monter dans un ciel ignoré, Du fond de l’Océan des étoiles nouvelles. » (José-Maria de Hérédia) J.-C. Pecker Comme les conquistadors de jadis, c’est par la mer que Claude Lévi-Strauss a découvert l’Amérique indienne. D’emblée (Tristes tropiques) le coucher de Soleil l’émerveille. Avant de connaître et d’aimer les Améridiens, il s’enthousiasme pour la beauté du ciel, qui lui inspire …

The big bang? Three questions without a reply
Putting the big bang in its historical perspective makes it appear as the result of a succession of random thinking, animated by new observations – although constrained by their reference frame – and that of concepts often frozen. It appeared first as the only solution able to account for the existing observations; with newer observations, it appears now just like the old Ptolemaïc system, to which Aristotelians, Platonians or Pythagorean of the …
The provocative razor of William of Occam
A consideration of medieval astronomy and the views of the philosopher William of Occam leads to a consideration of the ambiguities in the application of the principle of Occam's razor as it applies to problems in science, including the constants applicable to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity and cosmology. The principle can both be used to eliminate unnecessary irrelevancies, but also to constrain the development of imaginative theories
The explosion of the horizons
The recognition of the heliocentric motion of planets led to the geometrical determination, by Copernicus and Kepler, of the relative planetary distances. Completed by the determination of the true distance from the Earth to the Sun, by geometrical methods, this gave the total scale of distances in the planetary realm. In the years 1830–1840, the same geometrical methods could be applied to stars, the angular resolving power of telescopes having …
