Description
Peu d'hommes ont un destin aussi singulier que Stephen Hawking. Atteint d'une maladie génétique rare l'ayant peu à peu privé de toute mobilité et qui aurait dû le terrasser avant l'âge de trente ans, il est pourtant devenu le cosmologiste le plus doué de sa génération, scientifique de génie occupant la chaire d'Isaac Newton à Cambridge, et même écrivain à succès. Son domaine de recherche, les trous noirs, se situe aux frontières de la physique quantique, de la théorie de la relativité, de la théorie des cordes et de la gravité quantique. Cet ouvrage, rédigé par une physicienne, présente la vie et les travaux de Stephen Hawking. Une introduction par Michel Cassé les situe dans le contexte de la recherche actuelle. Kristine Larsen nous offre la biographie qui manquait pour bien comprendre un homme et des travaux hors du commun.
