There’s nothing too unusual about a father asking his son for a favor—unless, of course, the father in question has been dead for five years. Thomas, a young virtuoso pianist living a quiet, carefully structured life in France, is stunned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears in his home. He’s not a ghost in the traditional sense—he’s real enough to ask for help. His request? That Thomas travel with him to San Francisco to find Camille, the long-lost love of his life.

Au début du 17ème siècle, Galilée est le fondateur emblématique de la science moderne. Par ses observations astronomiques, il nous fait passer du monde clos et géocentrique hérité de l'Antiquité à l'univers pluri-centrique et infini d'aujourd'hui. C'est aussi le premier physicien véritablement expérimentateur, qui posera les bases de la mécanique moderne et de la théorie de la résistance des matériaux. Bien avant Einstein, il avancera l'idée de la relativité du mouvement. Jean-Marc Lévy Leblond, physicien et essayiste, raconte ici la vie et l'œuvre scientifique révolutionnaire d'un homme profondément nourri par la culture artistique.

Si, dans l'usage courant, le mot 'matière' renvoie aux idées de massivité, de solidité, de consistance –; bref, de 'substance' –;, la physique a depuis longtemps étendu l'usage du vocable à des objets physiques que le profane peine à considérer comme des corps matériels. Les gaz impalpables déjà autrefois, la lumière au vingtième siècle, voire même le vide maintenant se trouvent dotés par la physique de propriétés matérielles. Mais le haut degré d'abstraction de ces propriétés, par exemple dans la théorie quantique, justifie-t-il l'usage d'un mot courant aussi chargé d'associations mentales ?
