Under tremendous pressure at the Sun’s core, protons are fused together, and photons produced. Nothing can exceed the speed of photons.
It may take a photon 100,000 years to get from the Sun’s core to its surface. Then, another eight minutes to Earth.
That Sunday morning, innumerable photons showered the park where Ralph threw a stick to his dog, Frodo. The dog retrieved it. Ralph pried open Frodo’s jaws and threw it again. Frodo retrieved it. Ralph tossed the saliva-covered stick again. And again…
It had been 100,000 years and eight more minutes. But was the trip really worth it?
