Anger is rising

Innovation according to Etienne Klein

****Etienne Klein interviewed by Alexis Botaya as part of the UP conferences


**Klein, for his part, is an expert in this field.

I had vainly tried to contact Etienne Klein, who had only replied "cosmology is not my field".

Seeing that he had written quite a bit about time, I tried this approach. No response either.

Recently, a reader wrote to me saying "He talks about you," citing this video at 45 minutes, 53 seconds.

43' 53" Here is the passage in question:

  • Like all physicists, I receive every day the manuscript of an old retired engineer who explains that he has solved, I don't know, all the problems of the universe, of cosmology, and the clue he gives for his work is that he has been working on it alone for 40 years. And there, the "alone" ...

  • You shouldn't have written that ...

  • No, because you have to discuss, you have to present results, you have to be criticized, you have to accept others' viewpoints. If there is no interaction, and if you think that a single brain is capable of discovering the truth, you are completely wrong.

A viewpoint coming from a person who admits "never having had any idea". Regarding this, I would quote a sentence from the late Remy Chauvin:

  • When you do something, you immediately have against you:

Those who do the same thing Those who do the opposite Those who do nothing To communicate, you must first have the possibility to do so, to have access to seminars in your own country, to be heard by specialists in the field, and especially to be able to travel, to be present at major international conferences, something I will finally be able to do, at 80 years old, after 40 years of desert crossing, thanks to the help of internet users (a conference in Paris, 1400 €, in Germany 2000 €, in the USA 3500 €, in Japan 4000 € ...). And this internet user himself provided his own conclusion:

Etienne Klein is a great researcher.

He is not a crazy researcher like you ... He works in a team ... It is indeed the advice he gives you ... A researcher alone does not exist ... You have to rely on the work of others ...
