«Trous noirs : La guerre des savants» is Leonard Susskind's popular science essay, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (480 pages, in French).
Physicist Leonard Susskind recounts his long debate with Stephen Hawking over whether information that falls into a black hole is lost forever. Susskind argues that this idea violates the law of information conservation, and the book spans decades of theoretical discussions that led to new paradigms such as the holographic principle.
Originally published in 2008 as «The Black Hole War»; the French edition includes a translation by Jules Bambaggi. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (science and technology).
A popular science work aimed at readers interested in modern physics and cosmology, particularly those who have enjoyed the work of Stephen Hawking.
Leonard Susskind is an American theoretical physicist, professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University and founding director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics. His research interests are string theory, quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics and quantum cosmology. He is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an associate member of the faculty of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and a distinguished professor of the Korea Institute for Advanced Study.
