A single photon can spend a million years making the journey from the centre of the sun to it's surface, where 8 minutes and 20 seconds later some of them land here, on earth. Heck of a journey.

Now, thanks to a story that started one million years, 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago, I'm sat here with chocolate covered fingers and nowhere to wipe them.
