Mi cuñado tenía un nuevo propósito de año nuevo: quería ser fotógrafo . Como tenía éxito en el Instagram con sus fotos de comida y de aparcamientos vacíos se planteó la posibilidad de comprarse una cámara nueva.

La primera decisión no es sobre la cámara que quieres comprarte, sino en cuál de los dos universos quieres habitar,…

The material of the Universe were like a quark-gluon plasma, where all the parties constituting this were in relativistic motion. Quarks and gluons combined into baryons…
