>>7738807Big bang, boom, incredibly hot, incredibly powerful. Creates an observable universe filled with practically countless amounts of these stars, and our relatively little sun (in comparison to some objects in the universe) came into existence 4.6 billion years ago. In that time, our planets formed and on Earth, life began, powered by the sun, primarily and of course locally. So this blows my mind, right? But since every single atom in the observable universe originated from the point in time when the big bang occurred, it stands to reason that we are the result of every single star in the observable universe shining it's light outwards, like an exhalation of breath from a deity. We are directly influenced by the force of an explosion from 13.8 billion years ago, starting a long chain reaction resulting in the here and now. We exist here in this moment but in less than 5 billion years or so, our sun expands to it's red giant phase making earth uninhabitable. It's okay though, we only get to experience 100 years of that 5 billion at best, there's a long time to go. Essentially though, we are beings born from this explosion, bound by the physics of it, involving time, light, darkness and space. Space is not just the word for what's outside our atmosphere, it is a generalised expression of measurement. Of distance that light can travel. To observe light presumes that we can see it's origin but also the direction it is heading. All light intersects through the darkness, and to my understanding light is also synonymous with heat, darkness is cold. cont 2/3
