Abstract
When night falls, the silence of the universe descends upon the world. The first lesson that the universe teaches, is silence. The human creature is born to a world drenched in light and sound, shielded from the illimitable dark that is everywhere else. The dark can always be negated by letting in the light, and the silence by letting in the noise of the human world. The light space allows the human creature to busy itself in the pursuit of forgetting the silence that fills the universe beyond. But if it turns off the noise of its sunlit world, the human creature realises that silence is the pervasive state of everything beyond the sun.
