Tournesol is metaphor in action. While Tintin and Haddock track the secret and believe - mistakenly - that they have found it, he concerns himself with tropism's embodiment, the pendulum, whose unending movement, rather than confirming the certainty of truth, unfolds it without limit. Philosophically and poetically speaking, Calculus the scientist is the real hero of the Tintin books.
