Abstract/Résumé:

In this note, I explore various explanations of the goosebump effect. Given that this effect happens mainly on limbs, I show that it is essentially due to the protection of an animal against cold, using isoperimetric inequalities.

Dans cette note, j’explore diverses explications de l’effet de chair de poule. Compte tenu que ce phénomène survient surtout sur les membres, je montre qu’il est essentiellement dû à la protection d’un animal contre le froid, en utilisant les inégalités isopérimétriques.
