Perhaps the Cubists were right. Researchers have found that when everything from icebergs to rocks breaks apart, their pieces tend to resemble cubes. The finding suggests a universal rule of fragmentation at scales ranging from the microscopic to the planetary.

也许立体主义者是对的。研究人员发现,当他们发现的每一块冰山都像冰块一样破裂时。这一发现表明了从微观到行星尺度上的碎片化普遍规律。
