Tiểu thuyết Xứ Phẳng - Du Hành Vào Cõi Đa Chiều được xuất bản lần đầu tiên ở Anh năm 1884.Với mục đích đả kích cấu trúc xã hội và các quan điểm thần học đương thời, tác giả Edwin A. Abbott đã vẽ ra một xã hội tưởng tượng, trong đó thế giới chỉ có hai chiều, còn cư dân xứ này là các đa giác được phân đẳng cấp theo số cạnh. Càng nhiều cạnh đẳng cấp càng cao, càng có nhiều đặc quyền đặc lợi. Nhân vật chính của cuốn sách là một hình vuông, nhờ một cơ duyên kỳ lạ đã được du hý đến các thế giới khác: một chiều, ba chiều, và vô chiều. Từ những trải nghiệm đó, Hình Vuông vỡ vạc trí tưởng tượng toán học của mình. Anh ta nhận ra tôn giáo và độc quyền chân lý ở Xứ Phẳng của mình đã gây ra bất công và ngăn trở sự tiến bộ. Anh cũng học được phương pháp tư duy toán học về những không gian nhiều hơn ba chiều, bốn chiều,… Phương pháp tư duy này ngày nay vẫn được các nhà toán học và vật lý hiện đại sử dụng mỗi khi họ làm việc với các không gian hình học có nhiều hơn ba chiều. Thoạt tiên, cuốn tiểu thuyết thuộc thể loại châm biếm và giễu nhại xã hội này không được đón nhận nồng nhiệt. Thế nhưng sau khi Thuyết tương đối tổng quát của Einstein được kiểm chứng bằng thực nghiệm (năm 1918), các nhà vật lý ngỡ ngàng trước vẻ đẹp của không gian bốn chiều của Einstein, người ta mới dồn sự chú ý vào Xứ Phẳng, cuốn tiểu thuyết “dự báo” trước một thế giới có nhiều hơn ba chiều.--Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

Because you can’t cover Truth in just one episode, all five co-hosts come back for round two on Moral Truth. Jeff begins the conversation with the annoying question of God and the Bible as the ultimate authority on morality. All of the co-hosts weigh in with excitement. After getting that question out of the way, the repartee between co-hosts weaves together thoughts on evolving moral truth, absolute evil, forming frameworks for ethics as well as criticism of conservative and liberal approaches to morals and ethics. The conversation moves between the world of ideas and the real world applications of those ideas. Undergirding the conversation are the questions: Where does the responsibility to develop morals/ethics reside? Is it the individual person’s responsibility? Is it the community’s responsibility? What guides can we rely upon to help navigate deconstructing one moral framework while rebuilding another moral framework? Process theology makes several appearances in this episode. One might even say it “robs” the show. Listen to the end to hear co-hosts play a new game invented by our own Pastor Casey, “This I Believe”. Spoiler alert: The Trump of pizza is revealed with talk of building a wall around pizza (gasp). Perhaps the broccoli-lovers of the world will pay for it. Conversation on (00:02:30) Segment (01:00:30) FACEBOOK LIVE EVENTS During quarantime, we are offering additional ways to connect via Facebook Live.  You can find us on Facebook at Facebook.com/Irenicast On Thursdays, Casey will be popping on to share his thoughts on the week and let you know about what else might be happening with the show.  He is calling this time Thoughtful Thursdays.

Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson. In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick. This is a special episode called "Physics and Mysticism", which we filmed on July 7, 2019 in front of a live audience at Foundation Hall at the Baha'i House of Worship in Chicago. It's a conversation with physicist, data scientist, philosopher and translator, Dr. Steven Phelps, who's also been on the Baha'i Blogcast before. We covered a wide range of topics and there were also some great questions from the audience at the end, which I've also included. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did! Watch the video of this event here: https://bit.ly/2Y3hOkK Find out more about some of the things we covered in this episode using the following links: * Listen to this talk by Steven called Science, Religion & the Coming Spiritual Revolution: https://bit.ly/2JVyhyT * Check out my previous Baha'i Blogcast episode with Dr. Steven Phelps here: https://bit.ly/32OmMAF * Read about Baha'i Houses of Worship here: https://bit.ly/2Gy3gP8 * We mention the Baha'i World Centre: https://bit.ly/2OjFZa8 * We mention Yuval Noah Harari's book 'Sapiens'': https://amzn.to/2YmFHzb * We mention writer Reza Aslan: http://rezaaslan.com/ * 'The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys'are mentioned: https://bit.ly/2YoZ36p * We mention 'Flatland' by Edwin A. Abbott: https://amzn.to/2JTR25D * Steven mentions Baha'u'llah has "recast the whole conception of religion as the principal force impelling the development of consciousness." This statement is from 'One Common Faith' written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice called : https://bit.ly/2LIJPr7aith/ * The following quote by Abdu'l-Baha is referred to: "Know thou of a certainty that Love is the secret of God’s holy Dispensation, the manifestation of the All-Merciful, the fountain of spiritual outpourings. Love is heaven’s kindly light, the Holy Spirit’s eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God’s revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in the realities of things. Love is the one means that ensureth true felicity both in this world and the next. Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every illumined soul. Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms. Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation." * Frank Wilczek's book 'A Beautiful Question' is mentioned: https://amzn.to/2YhZPSP * We talk about 'Progressive Revelation': https://bit.ly/2OldlWg Be sure to subscribe to the Baha’i Blogcast for more episodes on: * YouTube: http://bit.ly/2JTNmBO * iTunes: http://apple.co/2leHPHL * Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/bahaiblogcast * Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2IXRAnb If you would like to find out more about the Baha'i Faith visit BAHAI.ORG, and for more great Baha'i-inspired content check out BAHAIBLOG.NET: http://bahaiblog.net/ Thanks for listening! -Rainn Wilson

V tokratni oddaji Sobotno branje bomo predstavili knjigo, ki je izšla konec 19-ega stoletja, natančneje leta 1884, pa je še vedno aktualna kritika človeške družbe. Dežela Ravnina Edwina Abbotta Abbotta ob izidu sicer ni bila spregledana, ni pa tudi požela navdušenja. Vendar je ta satirični roman doživel pravi preporod po objavi splošne teorije relativnosti Alberta Einsteina. Bolj kot vodič v relativnost in večdimenzionalne prostore pa je knjiga, ki je izšla v prevodu Sandija Kodriča pri založbi UMco, še vedno aktualna zaradi svoje lekcije o empatiji, ki jo človeštvo vedno znova pozablja – za razumevanje drugega je treba videti svet z njegovega zornega kota. Oddajo je pripravila Urška Henigman.

Dimensions.   Reflecting on dimensions has a long history in popular culture, from the geometrically minded satirical novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott to the 1937 film The Fourth Dimension by director Jean Painleve. But how is the relationship between different dimensions explored in the Star Trek universe? From a plane of two-dimensional beings in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Loss," to higher-dimensional beings like members of the Q continuum with their ability to pop in and out of three-dimensional space at will, Star Trek is replete with examples of dimensional interplay.   In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling are joined by Trek.fm Patreon manager and host of Melodic Treks and Warp Five, Brandon-Shea Mutala, to discuss the physics, the philosophy, and the geometry of dimensions in the Star Trek universe.   Chapters  Welcome to Episode 58 (00:01:09)  Introducing Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patreon (00:01:58)  Flatland and The Fourth Dimension (00:15:26)  Time as a Dimension vs. Higher Spatial Dimensions (00:18:46)  Lower-Dimensional and Higher-Dimensional Beings (00:21:01)  Bending Space - Warp Drive and Wormholes (00:30:28)  Higher-Dimensions and Omniscience (00:43:20)  Slices of Cheese - Alternate Three-Dimensional Realms (00:45:51)  Four-Dimensionalism and Wormhole Aliens (00:50:23)  The Motion Picture and Visualizing Dimensional Slices (00:57:28)  Fluidic Space - A Different Kind of Cheese (00:59:07)  Captain Proton and The Fifth Dimension (01:03:12)  Dimensions in Theoretical Physics - String Theory (01:04:46)  The Paranormal and Pseudoscience (01:08:26)  From Theoretical Physics to Experimental Physics (01:12:14)  Dimensions, Transporters, and Personal Identity (01:14:06)  The Mathematics of Higher Dimensions (01:16:57)  Final Thoughts (01:18:14)   Hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling   Guest  Brandon-Shea Mutala   Production Mike Morrison (Editor) Zachary Fruhling (Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Patrick Devlin (Associate Producer) Kay Shaw (Associate Producer) Norman Lao (Associate Producer) Kit Loffstadt (Associate Producer) Richard Marquez (Production Manager) Brandon-Shea Mutala (Patreon Manager)   Send us your feedback! Twitter: @trekfm  Facebook: http://facebook.com/trekfm  Voicemail: http://www.speakpipe.com/trekfm  Contact Form: http://www.trek.fm/contact  Visit the Trek.fm website at http://www.trek.fm/  Subscribe in iTunes: http://itunes.com/trekfm   Support the Network! Become a Trek.fm Patron on Patreon and help us keep Star Trek talk coming every week.

Mona sits down with Lauren Andrea-Lucia to explore what it means to have multiple religious identities. Lauren grew up in Italy with a Catholic father and a Jewish mother, and finds religious and spiritual nourishment in both traditions, identifying as a dual-religious person. Lauren shares her experience of holding both religious identities together, despite their seemingly mutually-exclusive claims to truth. The conversation covers the context of the history of anti-semitism and forced conversions, and explains why the blending of Jewish and Christian religious identity - and inter-religious dialogue in general - is often difficult. She also shares her perspective on what it means to have a religious family heritage, the difference between religion and spirituality, and why ideas of time and memory are so important to faith practice.   RELEVANT LINKS - Lauren’s Book Recommends ;) Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A.

On this interview episode, Derek talks with Tom Manning, whose most recent work, Runoff, was released late last year from One Peace Books. They discuss the genesis of the project -- how it began as a self-published serial and then eventually evolved into a massive 450-page tome -- and its ambitious scope. Tom describes it as a mashup of genres and styles where he wanted to exploit the full range of the comics medium. Runoff is a horror sci-fi mystery set in small Washington state town resembling the one that Tom grew up in, and it's equal parts dark, humorous, and head-scratchingly confounding. Manning employs an ensemble cast of eccentrics, reminiscent of Berke Breathed's Bloom County, but who reside within a Lovecraftian landscape. Indeed, the cthulhu of this narrative is an enigmatic floating obelisk or headstone-looking entity with moe type eyes. And if that's not disturbing enough, you have a vigilante group of monsters by way of the Universal lot, but whose zombie member is a polite soul who goes by the name of Mr. Pickles. Ghosts become a central part of the narrative, and these spirits exercise their right to vote. And then there's the inter-dimensional bleeding -- Edwin A. Abbott, anyone? -- that turns into an inter-dimensional feeding. If this sounds like a weird, whacked-out comic, that's because it is, a style that Tom describes as "gothic American surrealism." As Tom explains to Derek, he wanted to see where his story would go, what narrative tributaries carried him to the most interesting effects, and the result is quirky book that that could easily find its way into a Syfy series.

On this episode of the podcast, Andy and Derek discuss two thought-provoking books that challenge the way we look at sequential narratives. First, they explore François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters's The Leaning Girl, the first edition of the Franco-Belgian series, Les Cités obscures, currently being translated and published in English by Alaxis Press. The guys begin by giving a little background of The Obscure Cities, its spotty publication history in the US, and Alaxis Press' attempts to bring all eleven volumes of the series into print with new translations. The Leaning Girl is actually the sixth book in the series, although readers do not need any knowledge or experience with the earlier works in order to appreciate it. In fact, the guys emphasize the fact that The Leaning Girl easily stands (or leans) on its own, and its immersive narrative world, as fantastic as it is, effectively draws you in so that you quickly become acquainted with its many facets. There are three story threads that eventually tie together, much like the convergence between worlds that takes place in the book. Translated by Stephen D. Smith, and with photography by Marie-Françoise Plissart, The Leaning Girl is a beautiful European album-sized work of art, one that anticipates and sets the standard for the next planned volumes in the series, The Theory of the Grain of Sand and The Shadow of a Man. Next, the Two Guys with PhDs look at a completely different kind of book, Nick Sousanis's Unflattening. Published by Harvard University Press, this book is based off of Sousanis's doctoral dissertation at the Teachers College of Columbia University, and it focuses on alternative and diverse ways of experiencing the world, making our understanding of existence more "rounded" and less "flat" (thus, the title). This is an extended essay in comics form -- much like Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics -- and it's divided into ten main sections (not counting the extensive notes and bibliography that complete the text). Sousanis begins with references to Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland and then uses that romance as a springboard into his larger thesis. The first three chapters, or parts, provide a brief introductory overview of epistemology from a historical perspective. The themes presented here are played out over the course of the text. In the fourth section, "The Shape of Our Thoughts," Sousanis links his broader ideas with the medium of comics, and it's here where Unflattening becomes a kind of theoretical take on comics. After that, the book plays out the remainder of his thesis. Both guys are fascinated by this project, and as Andy points out, the book is exciting for what might anticipate with future graduate studies, comics and otherwise. Will we see other comics-based dissertations in other disciplines? And while Derek believes this to be one of the most notable books of the year, he nonetheless feels that the narrative flattens out -- so to speak -- about halfway in, after the "Shape of Our Thoughts" chapter, and that Sousanis merely revisits or repeats many of the points he made in the first half. Regardless, this is comic worth studying, even though it will probably fall beneath most readers' radar. But as the guys point out, it, along with The Leaning Girl, deserves serious and repeated attention.

Lors du dernier épisode de LisezLaScience, j’avais parlé du livre de Trinh Xuan Thuan “Désir d’Infini” où il nous parlait de l’Infini, et de sa présence dans l’Histoire de l’Homme, que ce soit en philosophie, en mathématiques ou en physique et plus particulièrement en astronomie, sujet de prédilection de l’auteur.L’épisode d’aujourd’hui, le numéro 10, devait être consacré à “La Structure Des Révolutions Scientifiques” de Thomas Kuhn, mais comme j’ai pris un peu mon temps pour écrire un nouvel épisode et que le Café des Sciences a mis en place une semaine thématique sur “Le Temps”, je me suis dit qu’il serait intéressant d’y participer et de partager avec vous une de mes lectures : “Le Temps (qui passe?)” d’Étienne Klein.Étienne Klein est sûrement l’un des experts français de la question qui sache le mieux en parler autant du point de vue scientifique, mais aussi du point de vue philosophique. Dans cet ouvrage, une sorte de compte-rendu d’une conférence données à des enfants, il a décidé de répondre à des questions que ces derniers se poseraient à son propos et il y répond pour essayer d’éclairer ces chères têtes blondes sur ce sujet, un brin complexe à traiter de but en blanc :)Le temps (qui passe?) Étienne Klein crédit : Bayard http://goo.gl/Hk7x8MSommaireQuelques mots sur Étienne KleinLe livre “Le Temps (qui passe?)”Un livre qui n’a rien à voirUn livre que j’aimerais lirePlugsUn auteurÉtienne Klein By Rémy François2 (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia CommonsÉtienne Klein By Rémy François2 (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia CommonsÉtienne Klein, un physicien que vous avez, si vous vous intéressez un peu à la physique, sûrement déjà entendu parler à la radio, vu à la télé, ou lu dans un livre. Vous n’avez pas pu passer à côté de lui quoi … enfin … les plus troglodytes d’entre nous ont peut-être pu passer à côté. Mais cet épisode est là pour comblé ce manque !Né en 1958 un 1er avril (et oui! Mais c’est moins ouf que Gérard Darmon qui est né un 29 février!) selon sa page wikipédia ou encore sa page chez les Presses Universitaires de France, ce jeune homme a foulé les bancs du Lycee Louis-Le-Grand et ensuite ceux de l’École Centrale de Paris avant d’obtenir son DEA de physique théorique en 1982. Directeur du Laboratoire de Recherche sur les Sciences de la Matière au CEA où il a fait toute sa carrière, il est passé maître dans le traitement de la question du temps en physique et même en philosophie! Cet expertise n’est d’ailleurs pas juste basée sur ses diplômes de physicien, mais aussi sur un doctorat en philosophie des Sciences qu’il obtint en 1999 et qui lui permet d’avoir cette double compétence. C’est une chose rare il me semble parmi les femmes et hommes de science, d’allier philosophie et science dans l’étude d’un domaine.Si l’on s’intéresse aux diverses activités d’Étienne Klein on peut notamment citer ses travaux de recherche comme ceux autour du LHC ou encore ses multiples enseignements à l’École Centrale de Paris que ce soit en physique des particules, en philosophie des sciences, ou encore en simulation pour l’INSTN.On peut aussi bien sûr citer ses autres activités comme la chronique qu’il anima sur France Culture nommée “Le monde selon Étienne Klein” ou encore son rôle en tant que membre du Conseil Scientifique de l’Office Parlementaire d’Évaluation des Choix Scientifiques et Technologiques (OPECST) et de l'Académie des Technologies et du Conseil d’Orientation de l’Institut Diderot.Mais si l’on parle de lui sur LisezLaScience c’est aussi pour ses ouvrages de science. Et de ce côté-là, on peut dire qu’il a été prolifique ! Plus d’une trentaine d’ouvrages dont certains attendent, la poussière sur leurs reluires parfaites, dans un étagère ou un chevet chez moi que je les ouvre et les lisent amoureusement. Parmi ces livres, on peut notamment citer : “Le Temps et sa flèche” (1993) dirigé conjointement avec Michel Spiro (un ouvrage reprenant les actes du colloque associé), “Les tactiques de Chronos” (2003), “Le facteur temps ne sonne jamais deux fois” (2007), “Discours sur l’origine de l’univers” (2010) ou encore “En cherchant Majorana, le physicien absolu” (2013). Concernant ce dernier livre, si vous chercher quelque chose à lire à propos de Majorana en plus, je vous propose celui écrit par le Dr Éric Simon (il faudra vraiment que je finisse de monter son interview pour un prochain épisode). Jetez-vous dessus !!!Une bonne présentation d’auteur sur LisezLaScience ne serait pas complète sans la liste des distinctions qu’Étienne Klein a reçu. Et elle est plutôt longue ! Depuis les années 1990, il a notamment reçu : le Prix Jean-Perrin de popularisation de la science de la Société Française de physique en 1997, le Prix Jean-Rostand en 2004 remis par le Mouvement Universel de la Responsabilité Scientifique pour un auteur d’ouvrage de vulgarisation scientifique en langue française, et il a aussi été nommé Officier puis Commandeur dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques en 2006 puis en 2014. Entre autres.Donc, c’est Étienne Klein quoi. Grosse culture, vie scientifique riche et prolifique et des ouvrages indispensables à lire si l’on souhaite en savoir un peu plus sur le temps par quelqu’un de calé dans le domaine !Un livreAvant-proposCe livre fait partie d’une collection nommée “Les petites conférences” et éditée chez Bayard. Comme expliqué dans la préface du livre d’aujourd’hui, cette collection est dirigée par Gilberte Tsaï. Auteur, metteur en scène et directrice du Centre Dramatique National de Montreuil de 2000 à 2011, elle a mis en place ces fameuses conférences pour, je cite, “Réunir grands intervenants et petits auditeurs autour de thématiques choisies telles que la beauté (Jean-Luc Nancy), le métier de grand reporter (Florence Aubenas), la mode (Marie-Josée Mondzain) ou encore l’avenir de la vie sur terre (Hubert Reeves)” comme expliqué sur le site du manège de reims concernant une “petite conférence” traitant des cinq sens avec l’écrivain Jean-Christophe Bailly.On peut d’ailleur retrouver la liste des ouvrages de cette collection sur la page associée de Bayard et il y a vraiment plein de choses intéressantes comme “A quoi sert la science?” avec Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond, “Le fini et l’infini” d’Alain Badiou ou “La Monnaie, pourquoi?” avec Jean-Claude Trichet. Il y a encore plein d’autres choses, je vous laisse fouiller !Donc le principe de ces conférences est le suivant : une personnalité pertinente sur le domaine choisi répond à des questions d’enfants ayant plus de dix ans d’une manière qui se veut, enfin je pense que c’est l’idée, le plus simple et le plus compréhensible pour les enfants qui posent les questions. C’est quand même parfois quelque chose de plutôt compliqué, parce que les réponses aux questions peuvent être abstraites et il faut arriver à simplifier pour des enfants qui n’ont pas le bagage scientifique pour certains niveaux d’explication. Mais nous allons voir plus loin ce qu’il en est pour Étienne Klein.La revueLe livre est relativement court, et donc, étonnamment, la revue sera plus courte que d’habitude.Étienne Klein a construit, pour cet ouvrage, une sorte de discussion où il entrecoupe son dialogue des questions qui lui sont posées afin de donner un cheminement qui soit agréable à lire. Cela donne finalement quelque chose d’intéressant et il est même drôle de voir, dans l’enchaînement des questions, que parfois des élèves en ont posé certaines qui semblent soufflées. Je ne sais pas comment l’expliquer, mais les questions ont du être écrites avec Étienne Klein pour arriver à avoir des choses qui ont du sens et qui soient pertinentes, tout du moins que les réponses associées soient intéressantes. On imagine assez bien les élèves se creusant la tête pour trouver des questions à poser à un physicien et philosophe renommé. Tout en candeur.Le livre est en fait écrit en deux parties : une première qui est plutôt la vision d’Étienne Klein des questions qui peuvent légitimement se poser concernant le temps comme “D’où vient que le temps passe? Et passe-t-il vraiment ?” qui sont assez philosophiques et en même temps que se retrouvent très ancrées dans la physique sur la question de la définition d’un instant de temps par exemple. Il aborde aussi notamment ce qu’Albert Einstein a pu dire sur la question du temps ou sur l’analogie souvent prise du temps qui passe comme un fleuve qui coule.Dans la seconde partie nous en arrivons effectivement aux questions/réponses entre les enfants (jeunes pourrait peut-être mieux correspondre, je ne suis pas sûr du terme le plus approprié) et Étienne Klein. Les questions sont intéressantes, il y en a des très variées qui vont de savoir si on peut mesurer la vitesse du temps, si les photons voient le temps passer ou quand est-ce que la fin du monde arrivera! Un peu de tout.Le truc intéressant dans tout cela c’est qu’Étienne Klein essaie de se mettre au niveau des élèves et ne cherchent pas à leur raconter n’importe quoi histoire de les enfumer (si je puis dire). Il y a par exemple un enfant qui cherche à savoir si “Dieu porte une montre”. Outre qu’Étienne Klein explique qu’il lui sera compliqué de savoir ce qu’il pourrait porter au poignet si il en avait un, il concède qu’il ne sait pas quoi répondre à cette question. D’autres questions sont plus complexes comme celle où l’enfant cherche à savoir l’impact d’évènements, qu’il provoquerait dans le passé, sur le présent si celui-ci était modifié par voie de conséquence. La réponse est un peu difficile, mais j’ai eu l’impression qu’Étienne Klein a eu un peu de mal essayé d’expliquer ce qu’il en était et s’est retrouvé à devoir mettre en avant le principe de causalité pour justifier qu’il ne serait pas possible de modifier le présent que l’on connait en allant dans le passé.À priori il est compliqué d’expliquer des concepts qui nécessitent un certain bagage scientifique de base à des personnes ne le possédant pas. Encore plus quand ces explications sont parfois entrecoupées de références philosophiques, d’un grand intérêt sans aucun doute, mais qui peuvent être encore plus obscures pour quiconque n’ayant eu l’occasion d’aborder la philosophie dans son cursus scolaire. Et je ne parle pas des explications qui parfois vont jusqu’à citer les temps, durées et énergies de Planck (dans le genre de concepts incompréhensibles sans comparaison pour des pré-adolescents avec des choses qu’ils connaitraient, je pense qu’on peut faire difficilement mieux).En conclusionFinalement, un livre, plutôt rapide à lire, qui essaye, autant que faire se peut, de simplifier toutes ces choses complexes! Mais j’ai l’impression que malgré les efforts d’Étienne Klein, cela a été compliqué de le faire car les explications données me semblent parfois plus destinées à une assistance qui dispose déjà de connaissances en physique et/ou sur le sujet.Je suis bien peu de choses pour conseiller Étienne Klein, mais j’aurais été preneur, si j’avais été un enfant participant aux questions ou même juste présent pour entendre les réponses, de comparaisons, quand il est question de données/concepts physiques, pour arriver à se forger une idée, même lointaine de ce dont il est question. Rester terre à terre et multiplier les exemples issus de la vraie vie aurait été le bon plan à suivre et je pense qu’Étienne Klein a tenté autant qu’il pouvait de suivre ce chemin.Et finalement je pense qu’il aurait été pertinent d’en savoir un peu plus sur la façon dont les enfants ont perçu les questions, comment ils ont compris les réponses et les explications données par Étienne Klein. Il aurait aussi été intéressant d’en savoir un peu plus sur l’assistance: quel était l’age des enfants, combien étaient-ils, comment s’est passée la rédaction des questions, etc.Il s’agit en effet d’une expérience assez sympa, et sûrement très enrichissante, de mettre des enfants face à des scientifiques de la trempe d’Étienne Klein et d’engager cet échange de questions/réponses. Il est juste dommage de ne pas en savoir plus.En tout cas je suis preneur de retours de personnes ayant tenté la lecture de ce livre avec leurs enfants pour voir ce que cela donne, comment ils comprennent les choses, etc et si finalement je ne suis pas trop dur avec Étienne Klein!Un livre qui n’a rien à voirFlatland (Edwin A. Abbott). Éditions 84. Crédit goodreads : http://goo.gl/9RCMhF“Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions” est un roman, ou plutôt une allégorie (selon Wikipédia) qui fut écrite en 1884 par monsieur Edwin A. Abbott. Cette histoire est celle d’un carré nous racontant la vie dans le plat pays (en deux dimensions), ses coutumes et la manière dont il découvre LineLand, le pays à une dimension, PointLand le pays sans dimension (et avec un seul habitant, le pays lui-même), ainsi que SpaceLand, le pays à trois dimensions. À travers cette histoire qui pourrait passer pour un délire de mathématicien, certains voient d’autres choses comme “la sortie de la caverne, voire le cheminement de Don Quichotte, l'hidalgo de Cervantes” (cf la page wikipédia de Flatland) ou encore une critique de la société anglaise de son époque (comme l’explique d’ailleurs amy Farrah Fowler à Sheldon Cooper dans la série The Big Bang Theory). En dehors de certains aspects à la limite du machisme (les femmes sont au ban de la société), beaucoup voient dans cet ouvrage une certaine avancée théorique concernant les dimensions supérieures et la manière de les considérer (plutôt visionnaire à l’époque).C’est facile à lire, intéressant pour comprendre le travail réalisé pour imaginer ce que serait la vie dans un univers à deux dimensions, et quand on sait que c’est censé être une critique de l’époque victorienne on tente, tout au long de l’histoire, de deviner les liens cachés qui pourraient exister.Un livre que j’aimerais lireThe Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (Carl Sagan). Ballantine Books. Crédit goodreads (http://goo.gl/h4Wydy) Comme livre que j’aimerais lire aujourd’hui je vais citer “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” de Carl Sagan. Publié en 1995, l’objectif de l’auteur était, à travers ce livre, de pouvoir permettre aux personnes qui le lirait de pouvoir savoir comment apprendre à avoir un esprit critique et sceptique. Selon Sagan, il est important que les personnes qui sont mises face à des propositions à l’allure scientifique, sachent arriver à déterminer via une étude critique et/ou sceptique des arguments et des données qui leur sont présentées si cela relève plus du fait scientifique ou des pseudo-sciences.Pour certains cet ouvrage est l’une des pierres angulaires du mouvement sceptique contemporain et se doit donc d’être lu pour disposer des armes susceptibles de nous aider à différencier faits scientifiques et pseudo-sciences. Je crois que je ne peux pas passer à côté de ça ! À noter que cet ouvrage a sûrement été l’inspiration de la collection de livres sceptiques nommée “Une chandelle dans les ténèbres” et mise en place par Henri Broch aux éditions Book-e-book.Plugs et liens évoquésPage Wikipédia d’Étienne Klein : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne_KleinPage des Presses Universitaires de France d’Étienne Klein : http://www.puf.com/Auteur:%C3%89tienne_KleinLe monde selon Étienne Klein sur France Culture : http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-le-monde-selon-etienne-klein-0Ses livres sur Amazon.fr : http://www.amazon.fr/Etienne-Klein/e/B001HOGQBALa page wikipédia sur Flatland : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlatlandLa page wikipédia sur Edwin A.

Poincare's ConjectureAmidst more recording troubles, I had to do solo again this week. Alas, the show must go on and this week I talk about how extra dimensions can be rooted out of lower dimensional fields. A great book to check out on this topic is Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland. Specifically on the Poincare Conjecture, there are tons of math books abounding on the subject, since it was only just recently solved.
