He wrote of his mentor Louis de Broglie ?Great physicists fight great battles?, which perhaps applies even more so to 1 Jean-Pierre Vigier himself . If fortune allows a visit to Paris, reported to be the city of love, and certainly one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the world; one has been treated to a visual and cultural feast. For example a leisurely stroll from the Musee du Louvre along the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe would instill even the least creative soul with the entelechies of a poets muse. It is perhaps open to theoretical interpretation, but if causal conditions have allowed one to be a physicist, visiting Paris, one may have taken opportunity to visit the portion of the old Latin quarter in place Jussieu where Pierre et Marie Curie Universite, reported to be ?the best university in France?, is stationed. 410 0$aFundamental theories of physics ;$vv. 126. 606 $aCosmology$vCongresses 606 $aAstrophysics$vCongresses 606 $aGravitation$vCongresses 606 $aQuantum theory$vCongresses 606 $aElectromagnetic theory$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmology 615 0$aAstrophysics 615 0$aGravitation 615 0$aQuantum theory 615 0$aElectromagnetic theory 676 $a530 701 $aVigier$b Jean-Pierre$f1920-$046149 701 $aAmoroso$b Richard L$0848892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449895203321 996 $aGravitation and cosmology$91895968 997 $aUNINA
