Photons at the heart of the sun struggle a million years through packed crowds, The mad dash to earth takes eight minutes from the surface — the time it takes to mend a broken promise, explain the secret of a smile, warn against those of strangers— each word struggles a million miles through the packed heat The mad dash to connect streams with delayed light. |
