\nO camer\u0103 micu\u0163\u0103 de spital, f\u0103r\u0103 ferestre, tapi\u0163at\u0103 cu burete. Doi b\u0103rba\u0163i care se \u00eenfrunt\u0103. Patru ochi tulbura\u0163i de ceea ce ar putea vedea c\u0103ut\u00e2nd prea ad\u00e2nc…. 1.600 de milioane de suflete indiferente.
\n–\tAm descoperit numerele mai mari dec\u00e2t infinitul!, \u0163ip\u0103 Cantor.
\n–\t\u00cen acest caz, nu pot dec\u00e2t s\u0103 te felicit, coment\u0103 doctorul \u00een timp ce-i injecta \u00een vena piciorului o cantitate suficient\u0103 de morfin\u0103.
\n–\tDar unele numere erau \u00eentotdeauna mai mari dec\u00e2t altele!
\n–\t\u00cen aceast\u0103 privin\u0163\u0103 nu mi-a\u015f permite s\u0103 te contrazic.
\n–\t\u015ei totu\u015fi exist\u0103 un num\u0103r mai mare dec\u00e2t toate celelalte, care nu accept\u0103 un num\u0103r mai mare dec\u00e2t el \u00eensu\u015fi! De fapt, nu accept\u0103 nici un fel de num\u0103r! Niciunul!!
\n–\tS-ar putea s\u0103 ai dreptate…
\n–\tDoctore, dar tragedia a fost provocat\u0103 tocmai de acest num\u0103r! De enormitatea lui distrug\u0103toare!
\n–\tTe cred, domnule!
\n–\tAtunci de ce sunt \u00eenc\u0103 \u0163inut \u00een c\u0103ma\u015fa de for\u0163\u0103?<\/p>\n
\nIdeea i-a venit \u00een timp ce-\u015fi aprindea pipa. Mica explozie a chibritului a declan\u015fat o suit\u0103 uluitoare de evenimente, care a \u00eenceput cu un clipit nervos, a continuat cu o pl\u0103cere paroxistic\u0103 \u015fi se va fi \u00eencheiat cu o catastrof\u0103 de propor\u0163ii cosmice. <\/p>\n
\n…. Cumplit de lucid s-a a\u015fezat la masa de scris, a luat o coal\u0103 alb\u0103, a muiat tocul \u00een tu\u015f, \u015fi a notat num\u0103rul care-i venise \u00een minte. Num\u0103rul p\u0103rea c\u0103 palpit\u0103, a\u015ftept\u00e2nd… A ad\u0103ugat atunci simbolul \u201aplus\u2019 urmat de cifra unu. Aproape imediat, semnele s-au topit \u00een num\u0103r! Num\u0103rul a frem\u0103tat parc\u0103 mai vioi ca \u00eenainte. A scris \u00eenc\u0103 o dat\u0103 \u201aplus\u2019 urmat de cifra doi. Num\u0103rul a anihilat at\u00e2t plusul c\u00e2t \u015fi cifra doi. La fel s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat cu plus trei, plus patru, plus cinci… A privit surprins la num\u0103rul care nu se mai s\u0103tura. Dar pauza \u00een care a cump\u0103nit situa\u0163ia nu i-a fost de nici un folos.<\/p>\n
\nCantor a realizat cu groaz\u0103 c\u0103 \u00eens\u0103\u015fi coala pe care notase num\u0103rul se volatiliza. O for\u0163\u0103 de neoprit o sugea \u00een interiorul num\u0103rului, care se transformase \u00eentr-o gaur\u0103 neagr\u0103. Nu mai era doar un num\u0103r, ci o entitate invizibil\u0103 dar vorace care se hr\u0103nea cu tot ce era \u00een jur. \u00cen locul foii a r\u0103mas o gaur\u0103 mai mare, care a \u00eenceput imediat s\u0103 \u00eenghit\u0103 biroul. \u015ei aerul era absorbit cu nesa\u0163, pentru c\u0103 percepea un \u015fuierat ascu\u0163it.<\/p>\n
\nN-a mai a\u015fteptat s\u0103 vad\u0103 ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103. Era \u00eencredin\u0163at c\u0103, dup\u0103 birou, urma camera, apoi casa, apoi… A ie\u015fit \u00een strad\u0103 \u015fi a strigat la oameni s\u0103 se salveze. L-au luat \u00een r\u00e2s. L-au lovit chiar, ori i-a lovit el \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-i fac\u0103 s\u0103 fug\u0103. \u00cen \u00eenv\u0103lm\u0103\u015feala aceea, \u00eenso\u0163it\u0103 de icnete \u015fi blesteme, \u015fi-a pierdut cuno\u015ftin\u0163a. S-a trezit la spital cu o durere \u00eengrozitoare de cap.<\/p>\n
\n – Doctore, nu-\u0163i pot dezv\u0103lui secretul acelui num\u0103r, pentru c\u0103 am creea condi\u0163iile unei alte bre\u015fe \u00een \u0163es\u0103tura universului. Mi-e team\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 \u015fi g\u00e2ndesc la el, consecin\u0163ele s-ar dovedi devastatoare.
\n–\t\u00cen\u0163eleg, spuse doctorul \u00eemp\u0103ciuitor. Acum, odihne\u015fte-te!
\n–\tNu pot, nu mai avem la dispozi\u0163ie dec\u00e2t c\u00e2teva s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul este \u00een pericol!
\nDac\u0103 viteza de absorb\u0163ie se p\u0103streaz\u0103, \u00een foarte pu\u0163in timp \u00eentreaga planet\u0103 va disp\u0103rea dincolo!! Trebuie s\u0103 lu\u0103m leg\u0103tura cu cele mai luminate min\u0163i ale Europei pentru a g\u0103si o solu\u0163ie! Le voi trimite o telegram\u0103 \u015fi-i voi ruga personal…s\u0103 numere….
\nRedeveni agitat \u015fi foarte confuz. <\/p>\n
\n\u00cenc\u0103 o doz\u0103 de morfin\u0103. Doi ochi care se \u00eenchid \u00eencet. O mul\u0163ime de vise. Prea multe.<\/p>\n
\nCel mai tare \u00eel mira faptul c\u0103 nici infirmierele care \u00eel hr\u0103neau \u015fi nici medicul care-l vizita la intervale regulate nu se ar\u0103tau \u00eengrijora\u0163i de iminen\u0163a dezastrului. Dup\u0103 calculele lui, o bun\u0103 parte din Berlin ar fi trebuit deja s\u0103 dispar\u0103. Ca o molim\u0103, panica s-ar fi r\u0103sp\u00e2ndit \u00een r\u00e2ndul oamenilor oblig\u00e2ndu-i s\u0103 se refuzieze spre zone mai sigure. Dar nimeni nu p\u0103rea ner\u0103bd\u0103tor s\u0103 se salveze.<\/p>\n
\nS\u0103 fi gre\u015fit calculele? Poate c\u0103 rata de absorb\u0163ie era mult mai mic\u0103 dec\u00e2t anticipase. Dar dac\u0103 era mai mare? Mult mai mare? \u015ei abia atunci pricepu ce se \u00eent\u00e2mplase.<\/p>\n
\n–\tE mai bine? \u00eentreb\u0103 doctorul.
\n–\tM\u0103 tem c\u0103 v-am pricinuit o mul\u0163ime de nepl\u0103ceri. \u00ceng\u0103dui\u0163i-i unui b\u0103tr\u00e2n matematician dedat studiului excesiv \u015fi teoriilor nebune\u015fti s\u0103-\u015fi cear\u0103 o mul\u0163ime de scuze.
\n\u00cen aceea\u015fi seara l-au scos din c\u0103ma\u015fa de for\u0163\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 m\u00e2ini libere. O fiin\u0163\u0103 care se poate relaxa.<\/p>\n
\nNu avea nici un rost s\u0103 le dezv\u0103luie adev\u0103rul. Explica\u0163ia era pe c\u00e2t de banal\u0103 pe at\u00e2t de neverosimil\u0103. Oamenii nu \u015ftiau \u015fi poate nici nu aveau s\u0103 afle vreodat\u0103 c\u0103 Berlinul, Germania, Europa, Terra fusesera deja \u00eenghi\u0163ite… Viteza de absorb\u0163ie nu era constant\u0103. O gaur\u0103 mai mare \u00eensemna o vitez\u0103 mai mare. P\u0103m\u00e2ntul ajunsese dincolo, iar implacabila scurgere a universului continua. Precum b\u0103tr\u00e2nul \u015farpe Uroboros, universul se \u00eenghi\u0163ea pe sine. The Big Sucking! Oare avea s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 vreodat\u0103?<\/p>\n
\nDar acum \u00eei p\u0103sa prea pu\u0163in de asta. Nu-l interesa nici faptul c\u0103, at\u00e2ta c\u00e2t putea s\u0103-\u015fi sea seama, noua lume p\u0103rea asem\u0103n\u0103toare cu prima. A\u015fa cum nu l-ar fi deranjat nici dac\u0103 majoritatea oamenilor s-ar fi n\u0103scut aici cu inima \u00een dreapta consider\u00e2nd dextrocardia un lucru perfect normal. Altceva \u00eel m\u0103cina \u015fi-l \u00eenfuria. \u00cen aceast\u0103 lume, avea s\u0103 fie considerat mereu un nebun! C\u0103ci exist\u0103 \u00eentotdeauna m\u0103car o lume \u00een care to\u0163i ceilal\u0163i te cred nebun.<\/p>\n
O lume. Un nebun…. O solu\u0163ie.<\/p>\n
\nSe retrase \u00een col\u0163ul cel mai dificil de supravegheat prin vizorul u\u015fii. St\u00e2nd ciuci\u015f, \u00ee\u015fi examin\u0103 o clip\u0103 c\u0103u\u015ful palmei st\u00e2ngi, apoi unghiile de la m\u00e2na dreapt\u0103. Alese inelarul. \u00ce\u015fi scrijeli f\u0103r\u0103 mil\u0103, imun la durere, pe C\u00e2mpia lui Marte, num\u0103rul. Cel mai mare num\u0103r! Pielea se rupse \u015fi \u0163\u00e2\u015fni s\u00e2ngele. \u00cen primele clipe, p\u00e2r\u00e2ul ro\u015fu \u00eei acoperi doar \u015fan\u0163urile produse de zg\u00e2rieturi, desen\u00e2ndu-i cu litere ro\u015fii num\u0103rul dar, destul de rapid, toat\u0103 cupa palmei se umplu de s\u00e2nge. Din prea-plinul ro\u015fului v\u00e2scos, pic\u0103turile se rev\u0103rsar\u0103, color\u00e2nd podeaua. Una… dou\u0103…. treeee…. , dar a treia pic\u0103tur\u0103 se opri din c\u0103dere, r\u0103mase o clip\u0103 suspendat\u0103 \u00een aerul cald, dup\u0103 care, \u0163uguindu-se ridicol, \u00eencepu s\u0103 urce!<\/p>\n
\nC\u0103u\u015ful palmei deveni negru. M\u00e2na se metamorfoz\u0103 \u00eentr-o gur\u0103. Iar gura \u00eei \u00eenghi\u0163ea lacom\u0103, r\u00e2nd pe r\u00e2nd, dar tot mai repede, bra\u0163ul, um\u0103rul, capul…. <\/p>\n
