From myth to paradigm shift

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"
My mother started and ended all of her days with these words. She was catholic, from toes to head.
Still, at the end of her life, she confessed to me that she didn't quite understand what the trinity meant.
The trinity, a foundation of the catholic faith.
She had faith. She believed in God. She didn't know who or what God is. She had had many opportunities to ask questions about the trinity but, obviously, the answer which was given to her was not understandable by her so that, in the end, she died with a questionning.
Isn't this amazing when you know that Jesus spoke to people who couldn't read or write and that he spoke in a such a way that they could understand him? My mother was not an illiterate person.
When speaking about the trinity, why coudn't the Church speak to her the way Jesus spoke?

My mother died with a mystery in her mind. This didn't prevent her from living an exemplary life, on many accounts. We will also die with unanswered questions, some different from those of our ancestors, others not.
In the end, what is important?
It seems to me that the questioning is in itself important, even if we know in advance that we will never have an answer to all our questions.
Which questions to ask?
Some questions are more relevant in certain times than in others. The answer to the question "which questions to ask?" depends on the timing, on the preoccupations of the moment.

As we will see, the question of the trinity is in the air since the beginning of civilisation.


I will try to show that it is today at the core of a scientific challenge, i.e. a reconciliation between the theory of relativity and the quantum theory, that the answer to this challenge may already have been found by man but that the answer was expressed in ways across the ages which have become difficult to understand today.


This is a story of a journey, of a quest to find an answer to a question about the meaning of a sentence pronounced every day by millions of people who do not know its meaning.

Where is the concept of trinity coming from?
Why is the concept important?
How is it transposed in modern sciences?
Where is it leading to?

Once upon a time, ...
