Jean-Pierre Luminet is an international expert in black holes and cosmology. He is unique for combining scientific rigor with a literary and artistic sensibility, often using metaphors and historical anecdotes to make complex physics accessible. Connection to Other Works
: Following Galileo’s famous dictum that "the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics," the text shows how geometric figures like triangles and circles are the keys to deciphering cosmic order.
The book bridges the gap between the "infinitely large" (cosmology) and the "infinitely small" (quantum physics) while weaving in insights from philosophy, art, and the history of ideas. La segreta geometria del cosmo
: The author argues that science and art are not separate; the same geometric principles found in the stars also appear in the masterpieces of painters and the structures of cathedrals. About the Author: Jean-Pierre Luminet
