On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point? Maybe it would be more fun to shrink for a change, and have a reunion of all the stuff back where it began. Then it could make a great big BANG again. It will shrink back to February 17th, 1991, but will then decide that expansion is the way to go, after all...
On February 13th, 2001, according to Vonnegut, the universe will tire momentarily of expanding forever. What's the point?

整个书确实有闪亮之处,但问题是它们太不连贯了,完全是想到哪里算哪里,怪不得我第一次读时也不喜欢Vonnegut
