Description
Summary:Examining how physics interrogates the origins of the universe, this article shows how contemporary physicists, when trying to go back to the beginnings of the world, are ultimately faced with the impossibility of retrieving the Origin. However, the resulting incompleteness must not be seen as a defeat of reason, but as an opportunity for progress : insofar as it invites the physicist to face the idea of mystery, it becomes the very condition of knowledge.
Revenant sur le questionnement de la physique sur les origines de l’univers, cet article montre comment dans la remontée vers les commencements, l’Origine échappe au physicien contemporain. L’incomplétude qui en résulte n’est cependant pas une défaite de la raison mais une chance pour progresser. Introduisant le physicien à la confrontation au mystère, elle devient la condition-même de la connaissance.
