Main presentation (in French) :
- Black Holes : For more than 200 years, the possibility of their existence defies science. Can matter really reach such a prodigious density? Can a star really imprison light? Many have doubted the reality of these gravitational monsters. And yet, the discoveries of recent years show that, once again, the cosmos surpasses fiction… Travel with us into one of the greatest scientific adventures of all time!
