ABSTRACT

The entire world appears to have a fascination with fireworks, and most countries have at least one special day each year where the sky explodes in bright colors and noise. Man has had a fascination with-and been in awe of-fire as well as loud, bright bursts in the night sky going way back in time. What is the appeal of fireworks? Yes, they are entertaining, but there is surely something deeper in the human soul that relates to our attraction to these bright explosions.
