This chapter explores Epicurean explanations of a set of phenomena that are not directly reachable by empirical study because they happen at a remote distance from humans on earth. These include cosmological phenomena such as the shape and size of the universe, astronomical phenomena such as the rising and setting of the sun, as well as meteorological phenomena such as thunder, lightning, and earthquakes. I argue that these phenomena are particularly important to Epicurean ethics insofar as they are presented as causing great fear in non-Epicureans, who fail to understand that they are explainable without recourse to divine beings. In the end, Epicureans do not typically offer single authoritative explanations for these individual phenomena, but instead have recourse to the idiosyncratic Epicurean doctrine of multiple explanation, where inaccessible phenomena are often given multiple possible explanations, only one of which need be correct to allay fear, even if we cannot know which particular explanation is the right one.
