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

    People think the speed of light is fast, but darkness is faster. Wherever light goes, it finds darkness got there first.

    -source not sure, Pratchett probably? If not him then Adams.

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

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

    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.

    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!

        Oxygen, and some ongoing process to generate complex molecules to be oxidized - you need something to reduce the things that have already been burnt back into new molecules that can burn, otherwise you run out of stuff pretty quickly

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

        :D

        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.

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

    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.
