"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.

Is also great
And would suffice." -Robert Frost

Brighter than a billion suns

I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.” -Robert Frost

"Sometimes I don't want to see the puppeteers,
sometimes I just want to see the magic therein,
and sometimes I just want to pry open the atoms
and know why they spin." -Glen Sutton
But it isn't just the atoms the minuscule building blocks of matter that spin. It's also the individual galaxies, collections of some mind-boggling number (like 1068) of atoms, that spin.
