Jean François Champollion was a young student, when
he met in Grenoble the famous mathematician Joseph
Fourier, secretary of the Egyptian Institute of Cairo.
Fourier noticed Champollion and
invited that student to visit his
Egyptian collection.
Looking at the hieroglyphics, the young Champollion
asked if deciphering those signs would have ever
been possible or not.
Once obtained a negative answer from Fourier,
Champollion decided that in future he would have
solved the mistery!

The desire to discover and understand secrets is deeply rooted inside the man-kind.
Even the less curious mind is stimulated by the perspective
to reach knowledge levels that remain unachievable
to others.
Someone has the luck to find a job that consists of the
search for solving mysteries, as the Physicist that looks for a still undiscovered elementary particle or the investigator
that discovers the author of a crime!

However the only possibility given to the majority of people for
satisfying this fundamental need is the application of its “own genius” to the solution of enigmas invented for our
enjoyment.
For the majority of people there are detective stories and crosswords:
The deciphering of secret codes, the discovery of a new
particle, or of a new material, can only be an hobby for a limited
number of lucky people!
