Harry Seldon venait d'inventer la psychohistoire et il n'y voyait qu'une pure spéculation, sans applications pratiques. Mais dès qu'il prit la parole à ce colloque, tout le monde comprit.

When the technology for twisting to other probability patterns was developed, a grateful Earth solved its overcrowding by sending people to live on Earths where plants and animals never got started.
