Résumé :
|
A young woman enters a building in a nameless comtemporary European city. She walks into a waiting room where a dozen other people are waiting patiently. Shortly afterwards she is requested to go into another room where she meets Albert Einstein who is engaged in trying to figure out the equation that explains the universe. Einstein and the student discuss his theories as well as his responsability for the creation of nuclear weapons. He also talks about his personal life, the difficulties of fame, and how his dreams of worldwide peace were shattered. This is a remarkable book that makes complex concepts of physics and philosophy accessible to the non-scientific reader in a captivating and utterly charming manner.
