«La plénitude du vide» is Trinh Xuan Thuan's popular science essay, published by Albin Michel in paperback (352 pages, in French).
Trinh Xuan Thuan reconstructs the history of the concept of emptiness: from Aristotelian and Cartesian negation to the invention of zero in the East, the experimental science of Galileo and Pascal, and contemporary physics, which reveals a fertile void from which particles such as the Higgs boson emerge, connecting with Taoist and Buddhist intuitions.
The book was published in 2016; Trinh Xuan Thuan is an astrophysicist and author of works such as Le Cosmos et le Lotus, which bring science closer to spirituality.
For readers interested in popular science, the philosophy of science, and the dialogue between science and spirituality.
