The thousand wives The cold of winter came and King Solomon told his wives: It is necessary to arrange everything so that the cold does not penetrate your rooms. A thousand rooms, a thousand beds, a thousand chimneys. A thousand nocturnal visits. A thousand whims. Three thousand years later, a thousand descendants of the King, in a program of advanced genetics intend to bring him back to life. The secret lies in the collaboration of the thousand descendants so that each one contributes a part of the genetic composition necessary to configure the complete map. Through a process of replication and integration it is possible to breathe life into the cells formed from the genetic information of all the descendants. It is as if Solomon knew that he had to beget at least a thousand children to ensure his passport to eternity. And so it has happened. Solomon has awakened from a dream of more than three thousand years and will help us to understand the past and the future. ...

The stranger Apparently, he came from distant lands and settled in the valley. Of a sullen character, he had hardly any contact with the neighbours of the small village. He had installed weird artifacts on the roof of his house, which aroused the suspicion and curiosity of those who lived in the surrounding area. So much so that they decided to discover what he was doing, and thus, when they knew that he would be absent for several days, they forced the door of his house and entered. At first glance there was nothing unusual about the rooms on the ground floor, except for some references to India, such as posters, paintings and statues of Buddha distributed throughout the living room furniture. However, they decided no longer inspect the house,   but the basement was yet to be seen. As they came down, a special, intense smell, similar to the scent of the Incan mattiola surprised them. Once downstairs, and after turning on the light, they saw several images coming from ...

The edge of the universe The pursed on the edge of the universe is full of eternal beings, who see to it that it does not fall out into nothingness. In its expansion, the edge of the universe stretches and nothingness shrinks. And the eternal beings multiply in order to purse the new diameter of the universe. The nothing is not worring about that. It is a fun, dense nothing that exists because the universe exists. One cannot live without the other. When a cosmonaut got travelling to the edge of the universe, he wanted to know from when eternal beings controlled their limits, and he asked one of them. Neighboring eternal beings who wanted to hear the conversation swirled around the cosmonaut and inadvertently created an island in nothingness with the cosmonaut in the center. Without knowing it they began to create a small universe that from that moment began to expand... El filo del universo El fruncido del filo del universo está plagado de seres eternos, que vela...

Photons A photon saw a particle passing by at full speed, and I asked a neighboring photon: “What is that?” The neighboring photon replied: “It turns out that there are blind particles, which they don't need to see, so they can go faster than us. They have the virtues of experiencing travels through the universe in an instant, and they do not collide with others because they can detect gravity microwaves. And they don't have time to talk to anyone, they just run.” “So what about Max Planck and Albert Einstein?” “Well, their theories are part of a more general theory...” Fotones     Un fotón vió como pasaba una partícula a toda velocidad, y le pregunto a un fotón vecino: -¿Qué es eso? El fotón vecino le contestó: -Resulta que hay partículas ciegas, que no necesitan ver, así que pueden ir más rápido que nosotros. Tienen las virtudes de experimentar viajes a través del universo en un instante, y no colisionan con otras porque pueden detectar m...

Temper 1 She was in a difficult situation. Food in exchange for a drastic turn in his life. Without spending a second meditating on it, she accepted the commitment.   With a gesture from the Supreme, two guardians approached and led her into a dimly lit amber room. After a few moments, two people half humans half alien came in and made her lie down on a stretcher. A blue gas penetrated through his nose and a heavy sleep made him close his eyes. When he woke up, he watched with astonishment the excessive increase of his belly. But at the same time, when she sat up, she felt lighter, lighter than ever.

In addition, on Mars, in the area where the company had invested a great deal of money, a meteorite had fallen and destroyed hundreds of hectares of crops.
