What a phrase, though it’s certainly one way to remember something, which in this case involves different types of stars. No kissing, unless you want to become Icarus and pucker your lips out…let’s just say it won’t be pretty.
Got that? Ok, let’s start.
Our universe is filled with galaxies, and what are galaxies comprised of?…stars. There are so many, so lets begin with our own; the Sun.
Before you wonder, no, it isn’t a rollercoaster named Barnard, more of an arc really. But it ain’t no rollercoaster.
It is an emission nebula (A cloud of ionisied gases and emits light at various wavelengths) estimated to be either 500 light or over a 1000 light years away from the Solar System set in within the constellation of Orion, and is either 50 or 150 lightyears in radius. It is a rather unique gas cloud as it is part of the Orion Complex, which is a cloud group of other star-forming nebulae, most notably Orion, and other minor ones such as the Flame and Running Man. The dark Horsehead nebula is a part of it as well.
This story began at the end of 2019, I started to jot down ideas and set the vision for it. Then at the beginning of 2020, I sat down and wrote, evolving my ideas along the way.
The first image of deep space, pertaining to a cluster of galaxies designated SMACS 0723, was revealed by President Joe Biden on 11th July 2022 during a White House event.

Time travel has been in popular fiction for decades, from H.G. Wells The Time Machine, Doctor Who, Back to the Future and Terminator, each has played their part in what harnessing time travel could like. Whether possible or not. However, time-inversion could be the closest thing we have to utilising time travel in reality.
Get ready to be mind-boggled!
What is time-inversion?
A theoretical hypothesis, is that if ones entropy (of either an object or living being) were to be flipped or “inverted”, they could travel backwards in time.
Entropy is a measure of disorder within a system. Heat death, one of the theoretical endings of our universe- heat death is when all available energy has been used. In a sense, our universe will become literal nothingness.
