The title's name, QFWFQ, is the narrator's name in many stories and works by Italian author Italo Calvino. Cosmicomics (1965) is a book with twelve short stories that discuss space and other scientific theories, building imaginative stories around them.
"Through the calculations begun by Edwin P. Hubble on the galaxies' velocity of recession, we can establish the moment when all the universe's matter was concentrated in a single point, before it began to expand in space. Naturally, we were all there - old Qfwfq said - where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?
