théories et les réalisations pratiques qui ont mené à ce tournant majeur de la science nucléaire: le moment ou on a constaté que la fission du noyau d'un atome produisait une énergie qu'il était possible de domestiquer, pour le bien et pour le mal.

Souvent les problèmes de la physique rejoignent le réel le plus immédiat. Le mouvement, par exemple, qui intrigue les hommes…
depuis toujours. La pierre qui tombe au pied du mat d'un bateau qui se déplace, l'impression de mouvement qu'on a dans un train à l'arrêt lorsque le train d'à côté démarre, et ainsi de suite... De petites choses, de petits décalages, mais à partir desquels s'ouvre toute la complexité du réel et ce que l'on allait appeler la relativité. En 1610, Galilée pointe sa lunette vers le ciel; à 26 ans, Einstein révolutionne la physique. C'est le parcours de ces deux hommes que retrace ici Françoise Balibar, deux très grands physiciens, deux hommes pris dans les combats de leur temps aussi. -- 4e de couv
