Le statut de l’origine en cosmologie moderne

Abstract

Cosmology renewed its status as a science in 1917 and was quickly confronted with questions about the origins, or at least the beginning, of its object. Its progress until now has been affected by a more or less latent conflict with other discourses on the Everything: this has been alternately a help or an obstacle. Its present standard model seems capable of describing almost everything about the observable universe’s history. If it must dig deeper and deeper into this almost, it ought to specify that it ventures into speculation.
