В общем была длинная предыстория а потом был конец времени. У меня в руках оказалась прямоугольная рамка с сеточкой из тонких ниток. На сетке был песок темно-фиолетового цвета. Его можно было пальцами перемещать в разные стороны. Это было материя в пространстве и когда я собирала песок в горку, материя коллапсировала и взрывалась новорожденными звездами. Одно движние пальцем - и звезды стремительно закручивалась, образуя галактики. И все это бурлит, кипит, переливается хаббловскими красками... весело!
