And, in 1849, he predicted modern cosmology? "In the last year of his life he wrote a prose poem, Eureka ... Eureka describes the origins of the universe in a single particle, from which “radiated” the atoms of which all matter is made. Minute dissimilarities of size and distribution among these atoms meant that the effects of gravity caused them to accumulate as matter, forming the physical universe. ... This by itself would be a startling anticipation of modern cosmology," and / but he also drew conclusions: "for example that space and “duration” are one thing, that there might be stars that emit no light, that there is a repulsive force that in some degree counteracts the force of gravity, that there could be any number of universes with different laws simultaneous with ours, that our universe might collapse to its original state and another universe erupt from the particle it would have become, that our present universe may be one in a series." I'm a fan and didn't know this.
