==Interpretation== According to Ott and Broman, ''Aniara'' is an effort to "[mediate] between science and poetry, between the wish to understand and the difficulty to comprehend".<ref name="Ott and Broman">{{Cite web |last1=Ott |first1=Aadu |last2=Broman |first2=Lars |date=1988 |title=Aniara: On a Space Epic and its Author |url=http://www.ips-planetarium.org/?page=a_ottandbroman1988 |publisher=International Planetarium Society, Inc.}}</ref> Martinson translates scientific imagery into the poem: for example, the "curved space" from [[Albert Einstein]]'s [[general theory of relativity]] is likely an inspiration for Martinson's description of the cosmos as "a bowl of glass", according to the Nobel Prize Foundation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Harry Martinson: Catching the Dewdrop, Reflecting the Cosmos |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1974/martinson-article.html |publisher=Nobel Foundation}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=AllΓ©n |first=Sture |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/1835 |title=Nobel Lectures in Literature 1968 β 1980 |date=June 1994 |isbn=978-981-02-1174-5 |doi=10.1142/1835}}</ref> Martinson also said he was influenced by [[Paul Dirac]].
