Bol Partner They are invisible, and yet they are a constant presence in daily life. The discovery of new ones is regularly reported, and it seems there is one at the centre of our galaxy. Described as mysterious, extreme objects, they have served to instil fear in many of us - it has been rumoured that tiny ones created in particle accelerators could consume the planet. From the way they are presented it would seem that they are the stuff of speculation and dreams, existing only in the mieds of astrophysicists. But that is not so. They are real enough. This book explains precisely how to detect them - so we can set out to discover one of the most powerful, most spectacular energy sources in the Universe!- Freed of mathematics and of lyrical digressions, this gem of scientific popularisation will enable readers to understand what is now known about these fascinating objects, which though invisible are essential for our planet.Jean-Pierre Lasota is an emeritus research director at the Paris Institute of Astrophysics and a professor at the Jagellon University of Krakow, Poland. An astrophysicist, he is the author of many scientific works on black holes, compact astrophysical objects, double stars and accretion discs.

Spéculations ou rêves de physiciens, les trous noirs ? Il n’en est rien, ils existent bel et bien. Ils sont invisibles ; et pourtant, ils se montrent partout. On ne cesse de parler de ceux qu’on a découverts çà et là ; il paraît même qu’il y en aurait un au centre de notre galaxie. On a aussi essayé de nous faire peur en évoquant les tout petits qui, créés dans les accélérateurs de particules, viendraient nous engouffrer !Que représentent-ils dans notre monde ? Comment les détecter ? Que sait-on de leur nature ?Sans mathématiques ni envolées théoriques ou poétiques, ce livre lève le voile sur les mystères qui entourent l’une des sources d’énergie les plus puissantes et les plus spectaculaires de l’Univers. Jean-Pierre Lasota est directeur de recherche émérite à l’Institut d’astrophysique de Paris et professeur à l’Université Jagellon de Cracovie.
