Infinite star beyond star
beyond star
should fill the sky with
light;
the growth of Heaven, the red
of far
explains the dark of night.
Commentary by Brother Quark:
Such strange metaphysical
astrology! Heaven grows? Darkness needs explaining?
Commentary by N. Hellerstein:
This is Olber’s Paradox. The
sky in an infinite universe would be a solid blaze of starlight; the
explanation is the expansion of the Universe.
