It is possible that some Prince Croy laid the corner stone on that 18th October of 1692 when the gray sky buried the Fortress, at that time already known in dreams of the dedicated ones. However, others say that the day was sunny, unusually warm for that season of the year, as if even God was happy about the building structure that was to spread over an area of 112 hectares. It is possible, but not certain -  like it is possible that the twins, Universe and Antiuniverse, were born out of Big Bang - that Igor Antić came to know these far away from home, in Paris. It is even possible that the twins ignore each other, exactly because of the question without answer, which reads: why does matter dominate over antimatter? However, we must not forget that Igor, while crossing the Petrovaradin Bridge, in January 1984, heard a story from the restoration artist, Momčilo-Moma Petrović about his Alter Ego. It is possible, Igor has believed for a long time now, that every man has his counterpart, his symmetric double of the opposite polarity. Their actions neutralize each other, disappearing in the form of pure energy. It is possible, as the connoisseurs of the past and future history of the Fortress add in their writings, that Moma knows something about the existence of a very subtle asymmetry between the counterparts, which under certain conditions results in predominance in favour of the creation over any form of mutual destruction.
