UNIVERSAL QUESTION
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
Is the Universe infinite?
Or is it super-finite,
summing up
all finite things?

EXPLORER
By Victor Chifelea
.
The cosmic explorer
had explored boldly
even the most unusual
space abysses.
.
In his peregrinations
he had come so far
that he had touched with his hand
the very edge of the Universe.
.
Back among his own
he told about how it had appeared to him
like an endless magic wall
of a soap bubble.
.
"Now nothing remains
to be discovered in the future,
we know everything about the existing ones!” -
the brave traveler was proud.
.
“So it will be,” said an old sage
“but could you tell me
what might be hiding
beyond this soap bubble?”
.
The explorer was silent,
only his eyes shone strangely
for there were no words to answer
what he had seen there.
