What is a black hole? An object that is so dense that light cannot escape. And yet, modern physics leaves us to believe that the smallest of them have a glow.
In his new book, Michel Cassé, who is an avid black hole hunter, takes us to the limits of the visible where we discover strange entities at the heart of our world. Soon, in Geneva, the CERN collider should be able to create minuscule ones that will allow scientists to verify their wildest hypothoses. Physics is entering a new era.
