Sport | Football Inter are holding out for a massive fee for Dutch midfielder Sneijder, but have hinted a deal involving cash plus either Michael Essien or Florent Malouda might clinch a move. Chelsea face competition from both Manchester clubs. Guus Hiddink, expected to be named as Chelsea’s new manager next week when a settlement deal with the Turkish Football Federation is thrashed out, has singled out Sneijder as one of the key players he wants. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is still reluctant to meet Inter’s massive price for the 26-year-old – and even more of an obstacle is Sneijder’s massive £175,000 a week wages. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s hopes of landing Brazilian whizzkid Neymar have taken a knock. Chelsea are hoping to conclude two deals this weekend. A £9m deal for Racing Genk winger Kevin de Bruyne is also close, but the 19-year-old Belgium international is to be loaned back to his parent club for a year before moving to England.

Universe There are many competing theories about the ultimate fate of the universe. Physicists remain unsure about what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang. Many refuse to speculate, doubting that any information from any such prior state could ever be accessible. There are various multiverse hypotheses, in which some physicists have suggested that the Universe might be one among many or even an infinite number of universes that likewise exist.[11][12] Historical observation XDF size compared to the size of the Moon – several thousand galaxies, each consisting of billions of stars, are in this small view. XDF (2012) view – each light speck is a galaxy – some of these are as old as 13.2 billion years[13] – the visible Universe is estimated to contain 200 billion galaxies. XDF image shows fully mature galaxies in the foreground plane – nearly mature galaxies from 5 to 9 billion years ago – protogalaxies, blazing with young stars, beyond 9 billion years.
