Résumé : |
Ulysses by James Joyce (18821941) has a surprising amount of 19th-century, classical physics. The physics community is familiar with the name James Joyce mainly through the word quark (onomatopoeic for the sound of a duck or seagull), which Murray Gell-Mann (1929-2019 Physics Nobel Prize 1969) sourced from Joyces Finnegans Wake. Ulysses, however, was ranked number one in 1998 on the Modern Library 100 Best Novels list and is, in whole or in part, in the literature curriculum in university English departments worldwide. The fact that Ulysses contains so much classical physics should not be surprising. Joyces friend Eugene Jolas observed: the range of subjects he [Joyce] enjoyed discussing was a wide one
[including] certain sciences, particularly physics, geometry, and mathematics. Knowing physics can enhance everyones understanding of this novel and enrich its entertainment value. Ulysses exemplifies what physics students (science and non-science majors) and physics teachers should realize, namely, physics and literature are not mutually exclusive.
