We should not attempt to establish scientific explanations for miracles we read about in The Bible. Either the Bible contains a literally true record of this event, in which case this was God himself for some reason making himself known to Moses as a burning bush, or this is not a literally true record of the event. If there was not really a burning bush at all, we do not need to explain it. In support of the notion that there was no burning bush is the scholarly view that there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt, and therefore no Moses.

In what book of the Bible will you find. A talking bush?
The bush itself was not talking. It was God who used the bush to get Moses' attention. Moses saw that the bush was on fire, but it was not being burnt, and God's voice spoke to Moses from among the bush. You can find this inExodus Chapter 3. 2And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
Was Moses 83 years old when he saw the burning bush?
Moses' age when he saw the burning bush is not specifically mentioned in the Bible. However, traditionally it is said that Moses' life can be divided into three sections of forty years. He was forty years old when he fled from Egypt after killing an Egyptian taskmaster. He spent the next forty years in the wilderness working as a shepherd for his father-in-law Jethro, married two women and had two sons. At the end of these forty years Moses sees the burning bush so he would have been eighty years old at the time. He then receives a call from God to lead the Hebrew people out of Egypt and spends the last forty years of his life leading them in the desert. He dies at the age of 120 years and God buries him on the top of of the mountain.
How did moses react to the burning bush?
The burning bush was the manifestation of God in physical form. God did not actually appear to Moses in the burning bush, but spoke to him from the flames. The angel appeared to Moses:Exodus 32- And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.The burning bush was not God appearing to Moses in a physical form. The Angel of Jehovah was. once again if you follow through with the theme of the Angel of Jehovah you will see He is not in the order of created beings but that He was indeed the true Manifestation of Jehovah God. No where in the book of Exodus is the Angel of Jehovah quoted as saying anything but we can conclude He was doing all the talking. When Jehovah God said He speaks to Moses face to face as with a man, the Angel was speaking to Him. The Angel was in the cloud:Exo 14:19 And the Angel of God withdrew, the One going before the camp of Israel. And He went behind them. And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them, and it stood behind them.How do we know that this Angel is Jehovah?In verse 24Exo 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch, Jehovah looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,The burning bush was the place that Jehovah spoke from in the form of the Angel of Jehovah and He also appeared to Moses in that form. The burning bush was not an appearance of Jehovah but merely the place that got Moses attention.Num 14:14 And they will say to the one living in this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are in the midst of this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them; in a pillar of cloud You go before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
