Parallel Universes or the Contribution of Student Protests to Contemporary Science

In recent days, university students in Belgrade and Novi Sad seem to be experimentally proving that debates among physicists, astronomers, philosophers, and theologians about the existence of parallel universes are unnecessary. While some proudly carry icons and national flags, kissing them and crossing themselves, others, at three faculties—the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Faculty of Political Sciences, and Faculty of Law—watch in silence and without protest as the same flag is desecrated and dishonored, while those who cross themselves are subjected to the most shameless insults.
An even clearer example that Serbian students live in parallel, if not multi-universes, occurred last night, on the eve of Saint Sava’s feast day. Namely, as though directed by a master of cinematic art, using parallel editing, while students of the University of Belgrade quietly filled the grand Temple of Saint Sava during the pre-festive vigil, then listened to the magnificent sermon of His Holiness Patriarch Porfirije, and later enjoyed the Saint Sava Academy in the Serbian Athens, at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts— the temple of Serbian science, culture, and art—a group that claims to be students forcibly interrupted the Academy in order to impose their anti-Saint Sava, anti-Christian, and anti-Serbian narrative and life concept.
It is up to the students to decide which universe they want to live in. Is it the universe spoken of last night by the heir to the throne of Saint Sava, or the one where all the Saint Sava values and Serbian identity symbols are ridiculed?
How they decide, so it shall be.

My unworthy commentary:
This “controversial” document which was published on official site of Serbian Orthodox Church does not in any way offend those people who are fighting against injustice of this world. But in fact tells us that if we do fight for justice that our focus should be christocentric and not worldcentric. There is this so-called “universe” of those who are blaspheming our whole identity, religion by burning flags, burning and destroying churches, church objects, bibles. And there are those in other so-called “universe” which glorify God and His Church which he has established. This article reminds us that we should pick our universe which he of course indirectly says it’s christocentric.
This article even though is written for events happening in Serbia, that is for our Serbian microcosm, it can also apply to macrocosm or for other places and countries as well. Picking a right side is a crucial thing that every person should figure out and do. We all know that there is only one right side and it’s as I mentioned christocentric side.
