Welcome. You are here on the website of an old dreamer eager to share a few impressions gathered from the journeys of his heart.
To avoid any misunderstandings, I want to clarify right away that the name "la maison d'Hades" has nothing to do with the online computer game, and even less with an old French military project.
The reference to Hades finds its justification in the character from Greek mythology and the magical properties of his helmet: lifting the veil on the invisible or, conversely, rendering it invisible.
Making the invisible visible, removing the helmet of Hades; having the courage to live in the open, to be oneself; lifting even a piece of the veil hiding our nature and the nature of nature; thinking freely for a little while longer; this is the goal pursued on this site.
After almost seventy years of a sometimes perilous and often tumultuous journey during which the torments of the mind and the necessary respect for societal rules have often limited free expression, the time has finally come to give free rein to one of my passions and bring it out of the darkness and into the light.

Nature and its laws have fascinated me since early childhood
... with a preference for physics. But having a passion doesn't mean having an obsession. The expression "having a guiding thread to go through life" seems more appropriate to describe the word.
Passion is somewhat the skeleton that structures our journey, this narrow and sometimes dark corridor pierced with a multitude of small skylights offering a look at the various aspects of life.
The study of natural physical phenomena leads to questioning many subjects and acquiring a range of skills that are not limited to mastering mathematics alone. In this regard, I invite you to read the preface written by Émilie du Chatelet (in the French language) ...

Everything can be explained, provided we take the necessary time to elucidate each situation. Passions are not born of chance, but of powerful events that have left an impression on our consciousness. I explain this in a booklet "La dernière lettre".
