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 discussing space and other scientific theories and building an imaginative story 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?
