One year after the death of Virginia Clem, Edgar Allan Poe published Eureka!, the little known prose poem where he attempts to explain his vision of the nature of the universe. Poe quarrels with the science of his times, particularly Newton, for what he considered a mechanistic view of the universe. He, on the other hand, felt that the universe had a spiritual dimension and his vision was centered in the idea of randomness and free will. This controversial work has merited new enthusiasm since the development of quantum physics in the XXth Century. Amazingly, Poe foresees in his poetic imagination many of the cosmological theories that are accepted as accurate today.
