tubo mundial

Explanation:
O Einstein era um gênio cuja mente pensava em planos que os mortais normais nunca vão atingir. Um dos conceitos que ele teve era do "world tube", ou seja, tubo mundial. Para entender mais sobre o "world tubo", há um livro no link abaixo que explica tudo!

Inclusive, do livro indicado: "However, thus far the problem of obtaining a consistent description of such a world tube has not been solved." Ou seja, nem os entendidos do assunto não sabem bem descrever um "world tube". Por isso que acho melhor ficar com "tubo mundial"!
