The Cosmic Dance
The Cosmic Dance is about the enigmatic phenomenon of electromagnetic waves swirling around a cauldron of fire and ice, if you will. We see this cauldron (container) as a relatively open universe filled with stars. We wouldn't think that light (electromagnetic particles and waves) is the essence of a self-contained entity capable of producing all the stars and everything with it. But if we look closer, then we realize that these biffs of light are the constituents of all physical things. But how is it even possible that a particle of light could be a candidate for all things great and small? Well, it has all the necessary parts to be a self-contained entity that persists throughout the universe at every scale. The universe is filled with stars for what we know, but at the scale of things, there is a world of emotions that is nothing but spectacular. Therefore, the universe can be described as a cauldron of fire and ice filled with emotions.
