In Medias Res Matches base text
Language: English
Men can do nothing, without the make-believe of a beginning... Even science....is obliged to start with a make-believe unit... And must fix on a point in the stars’ unceasing journey.... And pretend that time is Nought. ... Since science...reckons backwards as well as forward... Divides his unit into billions... and with his finger set at Nought really sets off in medias res.
