Chine : L'Empire du temps

Als die Jesuiten Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts zum ersten Mal nach China kamen, fanden sie eine Zivilisation vor, die mit der Himmelsbeobachtung und Entwicklung von Kalendern bestens vertraut war. Bei dieser Begegnung kamen westliche und fernöstliche Wissenschaft erstmals miteinander in Berührung.

Matteo Ricci, a young Jesuit would be the first European to enter China at the end of the 16th century. Trained in geometry and algebra, he would soon discover that cosmology and the art of measuring time was at the very centre of Chinese civilization and imperial authority, the Emperor’s Mandate of Heaven. Over a century, three Jesuits would fight for power in the Forbidden City. Through dramatic historical recreations and unparalleled access to the world’s time labs, The Empire of Time brings to life the story of how China’s enduring pursuit of perfect time brought East and West together. Modern astronomers, science historians, and time scientists draw on fascinating parallels between past and present, from 16th century astronomical contests to modern time-keeping labs and the satellite-driven race for time-data superiority. An epic tale of science, imperial history and intrigue.

S'appuyant sur des reconstitutions historiques soignées, cet éclairant documentaire-fiction bénéficie d'un accès sans précédent à de nombreux laboratoires et installations astronomiques chinois comme le FAST, le plus grand radiotélescope du monde, mis en service en 2016. Les interventions de spécialistes, parmi lesquels l'historienne Catherine Jami (CNRS), éclairent avec pédagogie ce moment unique dans l'histoire de l'Empire du Milieu où, pendant un peu plus d'un demi-siècle, l'échange de connaissances entre savants chinois et missionnaires jésuites venus d'Europe a permis de formidables avancées scientifiques et amorcé la christianisation de cet immense territoire. Un documentaire-fiction en deux parties éclairant sur une formidable épopée scientifique.
