ROADSIDE PICNICA rkady and Boris StrugatskyTranslated from the Russianby Antonina W. BouisCryptomaoist EditionsFROM AN INTERVIEW BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT FROMHARMONT RADIO WITH DOCTOR VALENTINE PILMAN, RECIPIENTOF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR "I suppose that your first serious discovery, Dr. Pilman, should be consideredwhat is now called the Pilman Radiant?""I don t think so. The Pilman Radiant wasn t the first, nor was it serious, norwas it really a discovery. And it wasn t completely mine, either.""Surely you re joking, doctor. The Pilman Radiant is a concept known to everyschoolchild.""That doesn t surprise me. According to some sources, the Pilman Radiantwas discovered by a schoolboy.
He had been struggling with those empties forever, and the way I see it, with-out any benefit to humanity or himself. In his shoes, I would have said screw it long ago and gone to work on something else for the same money. Of course, on the other hand, if you think about it, an empty really is something mysterious and maybe even incomprehensible.
