It is my conviction (which is more than belief and somewhat less than science) that man is – and for the foreseeable future will be – incapable of overpowering the Sun. On any scale related to human capability it is Sol Invictus which applies. And the birthday of the Sun some 4.5 billion years ago was being celebrated long before it was hijacked by Christianity around 354 AD. And one day the sun will die and we will have moved on (or we will have perished).
Just imagine, if you possibly can, a Sun devoid of its light,
No semblance of day and no trace of any night,
But there are those, like Icarus, who are still very naive,
Who in their arrogance, and at their peril, continue to believe,
That trivialising the Sun’s power is perfectly alright.
Greetings on the day of the birth of the Invincible Sun, 25th December 2013
