Abstract: Abstract We give an explanation of what a conformal diagram is by expounding the theoretical and geometrical elements which constitute it: complex geometry in several variables, projective geometry, conformal geometry. We specify (partially) the cosmological and philosophical significance of the synthesis realized by Roger Penrose, a synthesis deposited in his diagrams.
