Sheerin explains that naturally there are people who survive the cycle, as someone had to write the Book of Revelations. Who is correct? Before answering that question, I’d like to first examine the conversation that takes place between Sheerin (a psychologist) and Theremon (a reporter). Then the Stars appear, robbing the souls of men, leaving them to destroy the world they know. The Cultists believe that once every 2000 years Lagash enters a cave, which is the cause of the darkness. Because the people of Lagash have never been in complete darkness, they will begin to panic, setting fires in order to create light, thus burning the civilizations that they have built, or so say the scientists. They believe that the rotation of the suns and the planets results in all of the suns being blocked once every 2000 years, causing the darkness.
The scientists believe that the reason behind the cycle is what they refer to as the Theory of Universal Gravitation. My main focus is not in what will happen when the stars appear, but the reason behind the cycle. The scientists who discovered the cycle believe that when the darkness comes, everyone will go mad. Naturally, the civilians of Lagash have never seen the stars due to their six suns it has not been dark enough to see the stars in 2000 years. An eclipse occurs, followed by complete darkness, which allows stars to be seen. Supposedly a group of scientists have discovered that there is a cycle that occurs every 2000 years. The result of being a six-sun planet is that Lagash does not know darkness, as the plant is covered by constant sunlight. One of the most extreme differences between Lagash and Earth is that Lagash has six suns.
The story “Nightfall” written by Isaac Asimov is set on a planet known as Lagash.
