TEÓDULO LÓPEZ MELÉNDEZ, Writer and Journalist - Caracas, Venezuela
The space probe of the NASA and of the Agency Space European he reveals that in Saturn lightnings take place more powerful ten thousand times of those that know in the Earth, or it is that the imperialistic probe mistook the road and he lodged on Venezuela. Before we had been announced the discovery, in a distant galaxy, of a planet that rotates around two suns, like in the film “The war of the galaxies.”
This has made me remind to an old friend that is devoted to discover planets extra-lots, the astronomer Geoffrey W. Marcy, of the university of Berckeley. Hardly published my novel Selinunte found in the press a news of few lines, and to a column, where it was said of the discovery of a planet exactly similar to the one that I described in my text.
I kept the cutting per months until a friend said that she should write to Marcy to California. I made this way it, not without reticence and without waiting answer, and an interesting exchange of correspondence was born. The brilliant one scientific and the dark writer exchanges approaches on the mysteries of the literature and of the science and until it ended up being commented the possibility that the planet was baptized with the name of my novel and of the ruins that inspired it, those of the Greek city lodged in the costs of Sicily. I have time that I don't communicate with “Jeff” Marcy, I hardly know about him in the news where he appears of when in time announcing their discoveries and I don't believe that it should perturb it with the unusual questions that now assault me: The probe Cassini-Huygens mistook its direction? Do the lightnings that their sensors detect take place in Saturn or in Venezuela?
No, I won't communicate with the astronomer. Marcy doesn't have answers for the Venezuelan storms and he should not know anything about the local politics. After all for the great North American press Venezuela doesn't exist, unless for mistake. Also, if it separated some time of their investigations and he entered to make their intricate calculations to give me an answer he could answer me that the explanation is that Venezuela is in Saturno. Esto we already know it without necessity about appealing to consultation with one of the most famous astronomers in these times.
The lightning is a splendor taken place by an electric discharge. It is, in the bottom, the same thing that a ray, is an electric potential, a discharge of so much energy that the only way that has of showing is in the light. In our country, thanks to the new norms of the “I govern revolutionary”, the discharge is translated in a deep darkness, in a blackout.
Nevertheless, the potentiality of the explosion is here, although to the inverse one of what happens in Saturn. The potential load that we crawl is ten thousand times superior to what we are accustomed. Maybe we would should-to continue with the astrophysics - to speak rather of the explosion of a “black hole”, of some dwarf star, of the suction that some star makes of her twin (because now the scientists seem to think that the stars were always brunette and were they devoured and are they devoured to each other).
Where is the twin sun of whose rays warmed this called country Venezuela? It was devoured by Saturn, now not the planet of the lightnings, but Saturnus, the Greek pagan god inherited by the Romans and, among us, of god of the agriculture and of the crop gone by the “revolution” to be god of the estatización, of the intervention of productive properties, of the lack of foods, god of the inflation, what would force the great Goya to repaint their square and now to reproduce the hungry monster being devoured a país.
Goya was alone in the call “fifth of the deaf one”. it was an old one solitary and unsociable, he no longer saw but the somber colors, he didn't paint another thing that sinister, sordid characters, violence and ghosts behind Saturn devouring his children. But there is a lost news here inside some Spanish newspaper: the students of the Superior Center of Design in fashion of Madrid they have taken to the gangplank new sketches where the happiness of the youths has become new life the harrowing images of the shootings of May 2, where the women move seductoras like born-again you Pound Naked that aspire to change the face of the darkness, where Saturnus decreases to the pages of a book for the students that get lost in the marvels of the culture grecolatina.
We should change the darkness in light. We should make that the explosion of the black thing is fecundity again. Lucio Fifth Cincinatto araba while the ecuos troops and volscos surrounded Rome. In 16 days it organized to the army, it conquered the enemy, he gave the power to the Senate and it returned to their plow. The explosive load that he feels in the Venezuela of this moment amerita to remember that the unexpected explosion of the coarse light for gloomy domeñar lo, to transform the energy and to indicate to the republic the road.
To traffic him will take years, but the important thing will be to be in the road. The discharges are of light, from birth and energy manifestation, they have a price in a chaos that looks for to be organized and that it is not free of trips. Spurious Melio (of here the spurious word comes) it betrayed to the Senate and he was necessary to call again to Cincinatto, but that is part of another history, of one that the Venezuelans, acting as citizens, we will write.
