Abstract
Quite often fantastic literature has been studied using ideas from theoretical physics in order to verify how the development of the latter modifies the reader's perception of the former. Instead, this article proposes the opposite: this article will explore theoretical physics using the ideas from the fantastic. The core principle here is that both reflect on the reality and fracture it, changing the reader's reality paradigm. While physics changes it from reality, using to it the principles of the mathematics, the fantastic does this using (and fracturing) a fictional space.

Los avances científicos y filosóficos se encuentran en el germen de lo fantástico, como ya acertara a establecer Roger Caillois hace ahora medio siglo: «Únicamente las culturas que han accedido a la concepción de un orden constante e inmutable de los fenómenos han podido dar nacimiento, como por contraste, a la forma particular de imaginación que se complace en contradecir exactamente una tan perfecta regularidad: el terror sobrenatural» (1966: 20-21)
