Resumen de Medieval text about light held hints of a multiverse
Like the cosmos sprinkled with stars, medieval times were dotted with beacons of scientific light. Physicists have translated a 13th-century Latin text into modern equations and concluded that the English theologian who wrote it had unwittingly predicted the idea of the multiverse in 1225. This news arrives within days of cosmologists unveiling a glimpse of the universe in the first moments after the big bang, with what they saw bringing the multiverse concept closer to reality. Tom McLeish at Durham University, UK, and his team applied modern mathematics to a medieval treatise on light, entitled De luce, by philosopher Robert Grosseteste. The work built on Aristotle's idea that the notions of the stars can be explained by embedding Earth in a series of nine concentric spheres that make up the universe.
