‎First printing of the seminal paper that coined the term ""black hole"", giving name to a then peculiar and controversial field of study that today is considered one of the most important in modern physics and a key to understanding the universe. ""In 1968, physicist John Archibald Wheeler popularized the term ""black hole"" to describe collapsed stars that have undergone total gravitational collapse, leading to a singularity from which no light can escape... Wheeler's introduction of the term helped to demystify the concept of black holes and fostered greater public and scientific interest in the field. His pioneering research contributed to the understanding of the potential existence of black holes as significant energy sources, particularly in the centers of galaxies, and positioned him alongside other prominent figures in theoretical physics. The ongoing search for black holes, including candidates like Cygnus X-1, continues to inspire research and deepen our understanding of fundamental cosmic phenomena and the fabric of space-time."" (Zabilka). A black hole is a supermassive star that has collapsed due to exhausting its supply of nuclear fuel, and therefore gravity compresses it into a superdense sphere that absorbs anything that approaches it"" not even light can escape. John Archibald Wheeler was a pioneer in black hole research and responsible for popularizing our undersatnding of this complex phenomenon. He was a prominent physicist and mentor for Nobel prize winner, Kip S. Thorne. ""John Archibald Wheeler is a major figure in twentieth century particle and gravitational physics. Along with Schwarzschild, Oppenheimer, Roy Kerr, and Stephen W. Hawking, he stands as a pioneer in the understanding and theory of black holes. Among the most significant contributions Wheeler made was breaking down the psychological barrier that exists for scientists and public alike to believe in something that has an esoteric name. By giving the singularity a common name like black hole, Wheeler put it within reach and made acceptance of the unusual theoretical results easier. Wheeler’s timing was also impeccable. While Wheeler and many others, especially Hawking, had been studying singularities for several years immediately after the radio discovery of the pulsars and their explanation in terms of neutron stars, the total collapse into singularities was the next logical step. By giving these objects a catchy name, Wheeler was able to bring them to attention and start the massive outpouring of interest that followed. Black holes provide clues to the resolution of outstanding difficulties in cosmology. They have been proposed as explanations of the missing mass needed to bring the mass of the universe to a level where the expansion will be slow and eventually reverse into the next phase of collapse. They have been proposed as a source of the massive energy outpouring of the quasars. Further, they appear to hold significant implications for studies in the field of general relativity. Wheeler has pioneered in seeking a theory that would combine quantum physics and general relativity into a theory of quantum gravity, a first step in formulating the long-sought unified field theory in relativity studies. At the present time, relativistic equations break down when confronted with the infinite forces and gravity of a singularity. The most fruitful consequence of the naming and study of black holes has been the significant research stimulated by the effort to find black holes. While incontrovertible proof is not yet available, Cygnus X-1 and two or three other dynamical doubles where objects on the order of 10 solar masses are invisible are circumstantial candidates for status as black holes. The search to strengthen the evidence continues, and exciting results will continue to develop.""‎

‎Traduit de l'Américain par Anne Paquier-Galliard. L'édition originale de cet ouvrage a été publiée par The Dial Press à New York, en 1970, sous le titre: Pickin up the gun. * Ce livre est l'histoire, à la fois chaude et précise, de la naissance et des premières années du Black Panther Party, organisation, née à Oakland et à San Francisco, qui radicalisa le mouvement de libération des Noirs aux Eats-Unis à partir de 1966. * Earl Anthony adhéra au Black Panther Party dès avril 1967, rencontra les leaders Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, eldridge Cleavers, milita à la base, puis acquit une position importante dans la hiérarchie du parti. L'influence grandissante des Black Panthers auprès des masses, les affrontements avec la police, la répression impitoyable, les difficiles accords et les conflits avec d'autres organisations, tels que le ''Parti pour la Paix et la Liberté'', ou les tenants du nationnalisme culturel noir, tout cela, jusqu'à la rupture de l'auteur avec les Blanck Panhers en octobre 1968, est dit dans ce livre avec ferveur et, semble-t-il, objectivité. Point de polémique, nulle amertune: la chronique sereine d'un engagement et d'un combat . Pas de frais de port pour la France metropolitaine‎

‎Past-Future Asymmetry of the Gravitational Field of a Point Particle. - [INTRODUCING THE EVENT-HORIZON AND INITIATED BLACK HOLE RESEARCH]‎

‎First printing of Finkelstein's landmark paper in which he identified the Schwarzschild surface as an event horizon, ""a perfect unidirectional membrane: causal influences can cross it in only one direction"". This did not strictly contradict Oppenheimer's results, but extended them to include the point of view of infalling observers. Finkelstein's solution extended the Schwarzschild solution for the future of observers falling into a black hole. This paper influenced Penrose and Landau and essentially triggered the black-hole research.""Many prominent doubting physicists were reluctant to accept the concept of a black hole, in large measurement because of the anomaly that the implosion of a star cannot be observed. Yet a particle inexorably falls into the center at r = 0 just as time marches on - because in general relativity time and space exchange roles inside a black hole (which has the making of another paradox). One solution, or at least reconciliation, of the observational black hole paradox was achieved only in the last decades. David Finkelstein (in the present paper) ascertained a new reference frame of framework for Schwarzschild space-time. Finkelstein's reference frame simultaneously covered all regions of space-time from the imploding star to distant reaches of space. This all-embracing reference frame is now called the Eddington-Finkelstein frame"" (Kreitler, Trends in Black Hole research, P. 6). ‎
