Three memorial names

The three names chosen reflect the sciences and knowledge that will be honored in the Future Center.

• Universe refers to cosmos, to the universe, to infinity. A city provokes a city, a community of citizens. Thus, this name symbolizes a city dedicated to the universe to understanding the consequences that science has on our societies that one can go through in becoming an informed citizen by learning the scientific process.
• Pulsar is the name given to A neutron star spins very fast on itself. The heart rate monitor measures the pulse rate, which determines the heartbeat. In music, tone is the accent that is highlighted at the beginning of each beat. Quoting the Métropole de Grenoble, going to Pulsar means “experiencing a powerful and exciting emotion that makes hearts beat” and “participating in the influence of scholarly culture” while being part of a “lively neighborhood with school, music, and locals…”
• micromega suggest toInfinitely small with the prefix ‘micro’ and infinitely large at the same time with the suffix ‘mega’. Micromega is also a philosophical story by Voltaire. “Going to Micromega is to experience the infinitely small and infinitely small; understand that scientific inquiry is endless; discover new knowledge and be part of the Enlightenment tradition, where reason is practiced,” explains Medina.
