Did you know that April 34th is a very useful day? That some rivers flow uphill? That the Moon moves in a straight line? That the cover of this book might be red? And that while reading these few lines, you are traveling at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second?
These statements may seem absurd to you, and yet they are true!
Our perception of the world is sometimes misleading. In science, reality challenges our assumptions and constantly calls our deepest beliefs into question. It is not always a matter of being more intelligent to answer big questions: above all, one must be clever. Sometimes, a simple change in perspective is enough to shed light on the most complex phenomena.
Mathematics, in particular, offers us a powerful tool for understanding the workings of the Universe. It teaches us to think more broadly in order to understand more deeply.
This is what Mickaël Launay shows us here, through a fascinating journey that begins in supermarket aisles and ends in the dizzying depths of black holes.
Ah, and one final question remains: what does all this have to do with an umbrella?
