    It’s more like a ball of nonstop nuclear lightning than anything we’ve personally ever experienced as “fire”, if that helps.

    Light permeates most of the universe (everywhere that’s not a black hole) You can see light from just about anywhere.

      And yet, you can not see light in far more places. In fact, 99.9999999%… of all atoms across the whole of reality are, at any given moment, not connected to or part of an entity capable of sight.

      Light is the aberration.

    Isn’t it weird to people that black holes exist? They’re holes in the fabric of reality itself. Stuff just goes in and is lost forever.

      It is possible that every black hole is an entire universe, and we’re inside of one right now.

    “Night” and “day” were really only ever intended to be used on a planet. They kinda lose meaning in space.

    You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

    If there is no day where you are then there is no night either.

      False. Day is a causality. Darkness is the universal default state.

        Thats irrelevant because darkness ≠ night. Night and day are both defined based on local observations (between sunset and sunrise).

        :D

          Inaccurate. For example, a location on the perpetually-dark side of an object is shrouded in “night”, whereas the opposite side is always “daytime”. The argument there is simply: does day/night depend on axial rotation of said object, or does it include the personal transit of a viewer across the boundary and thus cause the rising/setting of the dominant light source by that alone?

          Regardless, darkness is the default state of the known universe.

        The joke is “God said ‘Let there be light.’” Ergo, darkness is the default.

        Was meant as a joke, but the Bible starts with “and God said let there be light” pretty early on.

        It’s after creating the earth, so maybe not 100% accurate.

    Or you could say night is the anomaly, because most places in the universe are stars.

    Nighttime is absence. You could say most of the universe is absence, but most matter is stars.

      Both a statement and a question, and multiples of each, depending on where the missing punctuation goes.
