Но иногда необъяснённая деталь, кажущаяся странной и несущественной одновременно — верный признак того, что мы что‑то не понимаем до конца в нашем мире. Полтора века назад объявили о новой планете в Солнечной системе. Всё как положено: вычисленная орбита, имя упразднённого римского божества, и,... Read more ›
