Everything Was Light, Once
...including you and me.

Reading a wicked presentation on the sounds that were present in the early universe, came across this mind blowing statement:

Go to a time 100,000 years after the Big Bang ... imagine a sky with not just one noon-day sun, but fully convered in suns ... everywhere shines with the Sun's brilliance.

Awesome, no?

I mean, the Big Bang theory is common knowledge, but the *implications* are seldom considered, or even comprehensible. Everything that exists, used to be One. There's an argument to be made that everything still is One (a reasonably straightforward, scientifically rigorous argument). We are not from (ie, separate from) the universe, we are an inextricable part of it. We are just a temporary reconfiguration, soon to return to the Great Cosmic Lego Box. I am not sure why we so often feel so separate from it, though. Maybe that's just one of the many annoying features of being a conscious being.

I seem to have drifted off-message. A sky fully covered in Suns! Neat-O!
