The image of the text is of God as an "all-consuming fire." One of the most interesting phenomena in the universe is the "black hole." These are the endpoints of stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. Left behind is a stellar remnant that ultimately collapses on itself to a point of zero volume and infinite density, creating what is known as a "singularity." As the density increases even the emitted light rays are bent and wrapped around the star so that even emitted protons are trapped in its gravitational field.
