«L'Univers chiffonné» is the popular science essay by Jean-Pierre Luminet, published by Folio in paperback (496 pages, in French).
Jean-Pierre Luminet, an astrophysicist specializing in black holes and the big bang, explores the shape of the universe: its curvature, its expansion and the folds of space that create ghost images of galaxies. The essay addresses the topology of space-time and infinity through a non-linear structure, with anecdotes and historical milestones.
It belongs to the Folio Essais collection (number 449). This revised and expanded edition was published in 2005; the work originally appeared in 2001.
For readers interested in astronomy and cosmology who enjoy non-linear essays.
