The expansion of the Universe
for
Grand-Hornu CID
by Jean-François D'Or

Il y a 13,8 milliards d'années naissait l'Univers. Inexorable éclosion d'un bourgeon qui depuis ne cesse de gonfler, enfle et se dilate.
À 20 ans, j’ai souvenance du choc que cela m’a procuré lorsque, visionnant le film Annie Hall, le jeune Woody Allen prend soudainement
pleinement conscience de l'expansion de l'Univers. Cela m’a contaminé. J’ai commencé à m’y intéresser et ne m’en suis toujours pas remis. Dans un lyrisme très spontané, cette expansion de l’Univers m’avait soufflé cet objet hybride.

13.8 billion years ago, the Universe was born. The inexorable blossoming of a bud that has continued to swell, expand and dilate ever since. 

At the age of 20, I remember the shock it gave me when, watching the film Annie Hall, the young Woody Allen suddenly became fully aware of the expansion of the Universe. 

It contaminated me. I began to take an interest in it and have still not recovered. In a very spontaneous lyricism, this expansion of the Universe had blown this hybrid object to me.
