Students from the elite school Tsinghua University protested with Friedmann equation. I have no idea what this equation means, but it does not matter.

Tetradrachm depicting the Owl of Athena. The Goddess of Athens and her virtues were often represented with the Owl, for its ability to pierce through the gloam of night allows it the vision and perception to see well beyond those who are blinded by the darkness around them.
