“Looking far is looking early”
Died in Paris at the age of 91, Hubert Reeves was a masterful storyteller of the history of the Universe, famous throughout the world for his popular work on the cosmos.
His quote “To look far is to look early”, to evoke space-time, is an illustration of this.
The Franco-Canadian scientist who looked like a Gallic druid was also an ardent defender of the planet. Becoming president of the Humanity and Biodiversity association in 2001, he has continued to warn once morest the massacre of species and global warming, and to challenge politicians.
“Hubert Reeves’ passion for science, knowledge and the world was obvious and contagious,” commented Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, thanking “one of our greatest astrophysicists” for “his remarkable contribution.”
“Quebec today loses an outstanding popularizer, a renowned astrophysicist. Hubert Reeves knew how to find the words to help us understand humanity and infinity,” underlined François Legault, Prime Minister of Quebec.
