Que faria eu sem Warren Ellis? Depois de um longo dia às voltas com intricacias psicopedagógicas, abro o sempre interessante blog deste escritor e argumentista de comics britânico para deparar com estes dois parágrafos:
"In August, radio astronomers announced that they had found an enormous hole in the universe. Nearly a billion light years across, the void lies in the constellation Eridanus and has far fewer stars, gas and galaxies than usual. It is bigger than anyone imagined possible and is beyond the present understanding of cosmology. What could cause such a gaping hole? One team of physicists has a breathtaking explanation: “It is the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own,” says Laura Mersini-Houghton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
It is a staggering claim. If Mersini-Houghton’s team is right, the giant void is the first experimental evidence for another universe. It would also vindicate string theory, our most promising understanding of how the universe works at its most fundamental level…"
De repente, a minha mente ficou tonta de ideias. O artigo está disponível na New Scientist, mas só se consegue ler estes dois parágrafos. O resto, paga-se.
