See them tumbling down from the waterfall, steaming and evaporating, like
soda from a lake, and geysers of serotonin gushing among lakes of frozen
dopamine. The individual is so small, compared to his or her imagination, as
a person is to the vastness of the universe. The ocean in a drop of water, or the
invisible streams of air undulating at the brink of space, only to think about
a major meteor streaking across the American sky. Yet still have no worry, for there are aspects of life which we cannot understand
and cannot evaluate, and with which our minds are too diluted to visualize!
What if somehow nighttime was warm and daytime was cool, while (despite) at the same time, the Earth’s north pole centered at a 90 degree angle to the sun? Or what if everything stayed the same, but with winters and autumns warming up while summers and springs cooling down, to an exact extent, so that the temperature was more or less the same (within ten degrees or so Fahnrenheit) while the nighttime and daytime temperatures might be exactly the same? What if it was cold on Earth, for example, 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but the sun was 10 times as bright but still the same size as our current sun? What about perpetual nighttime with high temperatures? What if the day and night lasted only minutes, but the gravity was so immense that nothing flew away? What if, while either day and night lasted extremely quickly or extremely slowly, relatively speaking, at the same time, we could try to modify it and cause totally unexpected results? I mean, what would the results exactly be?
