Heavens Cool Into Light-Energy & Particles

Cosmic Yom Shein•i (Secondday)

The new universe continued to expand, faster and ever faster. Far faster than any rocket. And the stars and galaxies are traveling outward even faster today, faster every second.

The initial bursts of light-energy dispersed over vast distances, cooling into a plasma, which ël•oh•im called cosmic mayim, and clumps of cosmic dust clouds, which ël•oh•im called râ•qiya.

Eventually, planets and meteors began to form — as the râ•qiya clouds formed oceans of space and cosmic dust clouds between the countless galaxies and their forming stars, planets, moons and meteors.

Over eons, the cosmic clouds continued to clump together as they cooled. Eventually, they formed clusters called galaxies with countless stars — like our sun. Stars burn by energy of the initial Spread-Apart.

The fire of stars originates from the initial Spread-Apart, a continuous chain of interactions inside the nucleus of the stars' atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of a basic element — like gold, silver, iron, sodium, calcium, copper, oxygen, aluminum, carbon and hydrogen.

Energy that derives from reactions within the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear energy.

Our sun is just one of the countless stars in our galaxy — which we call the Milky Way because it looks like a milky river in the night sky. Ancient Egyptians thought it was a celestial Nile River.

The sun radiates a type of light that you can't see, called ultra-violet. Looking at the sun without special glasses allows the ultra-violet radiation to injure your eyes; and it can even cause blindness. The UV light doesn't hurt. So you can't feel the UV damaging your eyes.

Our skin needs about 15 minutes of sun each day so that the skin can use the energy from UV light to produce Vitamin D, which we need to digest many elements — especially calcium for our bones — in our food.

But if our skin gets much more than 15 minutes in one day, it gives us a sunburn, which can be very painful. Also, too many sunburns cause skin cancers.

And ël•oh•im gave the râ•qiya another name as well: ha-shâ•mayim.

This was the second cosmic ërëv followed by cosmic morning: defining the second cosmic yom of our universe.

Optional parental preparation:

  1. Flip different kinds of light on and off, explaining how they generate light and heat.
  2. Show objects made of gold, silver, iron, sodium (table salt), calcium, copper, oxygen, aluminum, carbon (e.g., graphite, a pencil lead).
  3. Get a cardboard star chart. Do some star-gazing as soon as it's dark enough to see stars. Can you find Polaris (the "polar" north star)? What about Venus, Jupiter and Saturn?
  4. For elementary school age children, look at a hair (and what else can you think of) through a microscope. How many atoms would fit side-by-side across the width of a human hair? (A human hair is about 300,000 atoms wide). How many is 300,000?
  5. Demonstrate magnetic force with a pair of magnets; distinguish magnetic from non-magnetic metals and other materials.

Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:

  1. What are particles? (clumps of forces forming pieces of matter far too small to see with the naked eye)
  2. What is matter? (particles that have mass and make up everything you can touch, smell, taste or see – except light; which is visible electromagnetic waves of radiant energy / radiation)
  3. What is plasma? (super-heated gas like lightning, fluorescent lights, street lights, neon lights and plasma TVs)
  4. What are cosmic dust clouds? (countless particles attracted to galaxies and planets; reflect as a glow)
