I want to express my special thanks to my former schoolteacher, professor Mathieu of the Gatinot School in Montgeron, who was a master in general science, and whose spirit inscribed itself in the dignified tradition of the French Guild . This extraordinary man cultivated a sense of true values, and he aroused in me a true sense of observation and a thirst for knowledge. |
| I also want to thank the other teachers, who used to put me in detention every Thursday. The punishment consisted in sandpapering desks in the school library. There I was able to read Iliad and Odyssey and thus learn a few things about the history of our manknind (I was often put in detention) | |

| I also want to thank Patrick Lecordier for translate | |
