Einstein engagé dans son siècle / Université inter-âges de l'Ain

Einstein engaged in his century Jean-Marie VIGOUREUX In 1919, Eddington announced to the Royal Academy of England the first experimental verification of general relativity. Within a few months, the whole world knew Einstein's name. Today, as a century ago, Einstein is regarded by all as one of the outstanding personalities of the 20th century, yet few people have a clear idea of his work or his life... Telling the story of Einstein's life means, of course, recounting how his mind developed and how his thought progressed... It also means telling what his life was like in the midst of the dramatic upheavals that tore the world apart during his lifetime.
