Edgar Allan Poe, Cosmologist

Posted by timothy on from the sure-beats-nostrodamus dept.

David Mazzotta writes "Bet you didn't know Edgar Allen Poe pre-discovered the Big Bang and Black Holes. This article at the NYT discusses the concept of pre-discovery, or theorhetical anticipation of eventual scientific discoveries. Most of these come from forward thinking physicists, but occasionally they come from a morbid, alcoholic, poet."

    It's a real shame. If you had any faith in god you would not be wasting so much time replying to these messages.
