Einstein, la passion de la science (Einstein, the science passion)

Comme l'a ecrit Ursula, il y a quelques jours, Arte a diffuse une serie de 3 emissions sur Einstein.
Vu que je voulais voir les 3 reportages (et me coucher pas trop tard!) dimanche soir, j'ai tout enregistre et je me suis repasse tout ca par petite dose lundi et mardi soir!

As written by Ursula, a few days ago, Arte-TV showed 3 programs about Einstein. Since I wanted to see all of them (and still go to bed not so late!) sunday night, I recorded all of them. Then I watched them by small pieces Monday and Tueday nights!

En fait, la premiere emission etait specifiquement sur E=mc2 avec des reconstitutions historiques en costumes. C'etait interessant mais ca n'est pas l'emission que j'ai preferee. La deuxieme essayait de decrypter le mythe Einstein avec des documents d'archives et des interviews. Enfin, la troisieme etait la vision d'une realisatrice canadienne (reconnaissable a cet accent quebecois que j'adore) de la quete scientifique contemporaine et plus generalement sur le plaisir de penser. C'est vraiment l'emission que j'ai preferee car elle montre le desir de connaitre, de comprendre qui est au coeur de la (ma) demarche scientifique et plus particulierement de la physique des particules dans mon cas.

In fact, the first program was specifically dedicated to explain the equation E=mc2 with historical reconstructions. It was interested but not the program I prefered. The second one tried to decode Einstein myth using letters, archives and interviews. Then the third gave the contemporary scientific quest viewed by a canadian director (easily recognizable by her accent from Quebec which I really love!). This really was my favorite program because she showed the joy we can have to think, to try to understand, joy which is at the very heart of the (my) scientific approach and more specifically of the particle physics in my case.

Bon evidemment, comme l'a dit Einstein: "Plus nous cherchons, plus nous découvrons l'étendue de ce qu'il reste à découvrir." Mais, Ursula, si tu veux les cassettes, je les ai (mais pas en Allemand, en Francais!).

OK, as Einstein said: "The more we search, the more we discover the range of what is still to be discovered." But Ursula, if you want the tapes, I have them (in French not in German!).
